So the big question is what is ITV going to do with UTV Ireland, it will be a big setback if they get rid of it

Especially for the employees.

This paragraph tells a bit about their objectives.There is plenty of advertising revenue here for ITV and their EPG place is already established!

"UTV also owns 100 per cent of UTV Ireland, which launched a new dedicated channel for the Republic of Ireland on 1 January 2015. UTV Ireland is already the second most-watched channel in peak in Ireland and ITV intends to strengthen the channel further with ITV programming at its core."

They are hardly going to buy it and then remove it. Too early to tell the exact impact - for now, and the next few months expect no change.
