On wikipedia it says this:
Relaunch of Pop Idol
On 1 October 2006, ITV's licence to produce Pop Idol in the UK ran out and its creator Simon Fuller, with co-producers FremantleMedia and 19 Television, began talking to UK broadcasters about reviving the show in a revamped format on a different channel. While Sky1 and Five initially expressed interest in buying the show, [1] no revival has been announced. If Pop Idol were to be revived, original judge Neil Fox and current The X Factor judge Cheryl Cole have both announced that they would sign up as judges, if a revival is to be announced. However, Simon Cowell has yet to announce, because of the conditions of his Britain's Got Talent contract. Moreover, it has been known that original judge Nicki Chapman has expressed an interest in signing, but Pete Waterman has since said that he would not judge another show like Pop Idol in the near future. Thus, if Pop Idol is to be revived, the likely judge line-up would be Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Nicki Chapman and Neil Fox.
