No Channel 5 HD for Freeview

It has just been announced that Channel 5 has withdrawn its successful bid to run the fifth High Definition station on Freeview. It is likely therefore that the slot will go out to tender again. We shall have to wait and see who will bid and who will be successful. In the meantime, the HD stations on Freeview after the Digital Switchover will be BBC-1 HD, BBC-HD (soon to be BBC-2 HD), ITV-1 HD and C4 HD.
