Harrison/Hussein: ITV shoots itself in the foot...

They plan on showing it live on the launch of their new channel ITV4.

The problem is, Sky are not picking this channel up until the following Monday, 7th Nov.....so the only viewers with access will be those with NTL.

Which bright spark at ITV came up with this idea? Pay shed loads of cash for a world title fight plus Khan, in the hope of re-launching the fight game on ITV once again, yet only show the big fight on a channel hardly anyone can access - genius!!

What about possibly screening it on one of their other channels, so people can actualy see the fight? Nah...too much to ask I guess.

Getting rid of NTL and having Sky put in...

Will you be able to get it if you just have a set top box for freeview?
