As part of the move, the existing ITN Archive channel will be rebranded as Frontline by ITN, sitting alongside two newly created channels: Flashback by ITN and ReâTold by ITN.
Frontline by ITN will focus on conflict and global affairs, offering curated, contextualised archive footage from some of the most significant moments in modern history. It will also be the first channel produced by ITN to introduce YouTube Memberships, âgiving users the opportunity to directly support the digitisation and preservation of ITNâs archive, while helping to shape future releases of content.â
Flashback by ITN will celebrate defining moments from popular culture, while ReâTold by ITN will present a snapshot in time of our collective social history. Using these new genre âbucketsâ, the digital team will âexperiment with formats that utilise the best of the archive for a digital-first audience.â
Alongside the archive channels, the team has also refreshed the existing YouTube channels â The Royal Family Channel, Onlooker (formerly ODN) and Pop Drop (formerly ODE).
