TV and Channel 4 are the strongest contenders in the bidding for the vacant slot on Freeview, according to Broadcast this week.

ITV's £5m proposal is said to be a "revamped version" of Men & Motors while C4 is exploring a number of options, including a gaming channel.

Crown Castle has asked for clarification on a number of points in both bids. The other broadcasters, meanwhile - Five, Turner Broadcasting, Disney, Top-Up TV and NBC Universal - have not been asked for more detail. Only one applicant has thusfar been rejected outright: Sit Up, which had proposed a free-to-air movie channel.

The contract for the channel, which goes live on April 1, could be awarded as soon as next week.

I'm wondering about the gaming channel proposed by C4. Would it be about video games, or more like that 9Live phone in rubbish they have on E4.
