The Telegraph (via Made2Game) is reporting that ITV is “in discussions” with Sony about launching ITV Player on the PS3 games console, according to “a senior TV executive close to ITV” speaking to the newspaper.
The service, which The Telegraph understands to be the case, would be “streamed and advertising supported” and should be available by the beginning of September.
In contrast, the Wii doesn’t allow advertising and Xbox 360 doesn’t allow free content, apparently.
ITV is also, according to the newspaper, trying to get the Player onto iPhone, Android and Blackberry. There’s likely to be a small charge for those applications.

Not heard anything recently, but a couple of months ago there was talk of iPlayer being used to show all UK tv network programs.

I think it’s Iplayer tech that the BBC licences out to other TV providers for them to use for their services, rather than everything being on iplayer so to speak. I think that’s right, but it may be worth checking.
