ITV Digital criticized

World Brief

U.K. advertising buyer Zenith Media has called for the closure of ITV Digital, the terrestrial pay TV platform co-owned by ITV companies Carlton Communications and Granada Media.

ITV Digital has roughly 1.2 million subscribers, satcaster BSkyB more than 5.5 million.
