I think Plus will take Channel A’s spot (channel 13), which would mean it would be between PTV6 and Channel B. Is that alright guys? Or are they reserved for other networks already? I’m confused. Edit: I’m guessing from the hearts that it’s alright for me to do that. Thanks. ---

Technically, we’re all competing networks on the same bandwidth, so we have competing programmes, news teams, etc. How about you create your own network and join us? It’ll be fun. ---
