Broadcast is reporting that ITV is mulling over ITV1 slots for Raines, The Black Donnellys and Smith, should they become hits. At the moment, they’re scheduled for ITV3 and ITV2 slots, will possible repeats on ITV1.
Raines and The Black Donnellys are both mid-season shows, so we won’t know for a while if they’re a success, but Raines and The Black Donnellys are both pretty good shows, so this has got to be good news, both for ITV as a whole and UK viewers.
