ITV companies derive their main source of income from advertising revenue, and competition will increase when Channel 5 is launched in 1997. Digital terrestrial television is not a short term opportunity for ITV to benefit from pay-TV revenue, as it will only be available to 50% of the TV audience by 2010.
