ITV (Independent Television) is a public service network of British commercial television broadcasters, set up under the Independent Television Authority (ITA) to provide competition to the BBC. ITV is the oldest commercial television network in the UK. Since 1990 and the Broadcasting Act 1990, its legal name has been Channel 3, the number 3 having no real meaning other than to distinguish it from BBC One, BBC Two and Channel 4 - prior to this, the network had no legal overall name. In part, 3 was assigned as televisions would usually be tuned so that the regional ITV station would be on the third button, the other stations being allocated to that of the number their name contained.

ITV is to be distinguished from ITV plc, the company that resulted from the merger of Granada plc and Carlton Communications in 2004 and which owns all of the Channel 3 broadcasting licences in England, Wales, the Scottish/English Border and the Isle of Man. Similarly ITV1 is the brand used by ITV plc for the Channel 3 service in these areas, with STV and UTV using their own brands in their own respective areas (North and Central Scotland and Northern Ireland).

It's good news.

Heartbeat, a programme which should have finished about seven years ago is finally getting the axe.

All its main characters, the folk who originally made it a decent programme all moved on yonks back and yet YTV kept flogging the proverbial dead horse. It was supposed to be about the 1960s and whilst the rest of us have grown greyer and developed beer bellies, not to mention have kids and buy lawn mowers, this dirge has remained well and truly in the 1960s and on our screens.

See, I'm smiling now.

Have you not had enough of 20+ years of Heartbeat and The Royal? Or 50 years of Last Of The Summer Wine?

The fact that Brian Rix is a Yorkshireman seems to have escaped your attention?

you are all happy with the job losses then must be nice to be smug.the history on i.t.v.is no use to them who will be signing on the dole but i suppose you are all happy with being puppets to the men in grey suits in london.no fight left in yorkshire then.will one of you turn the lights off when everythingsgone south.heatbeat created work and tourism even if the programme was not to your liking.

what as were brian rix comes from as got to do with anything.

Whitby and the North York Moors, the city of York and towns like Scarborough.

Now they're good for tourism, yet we don't get them rammed down our throats via YTV. If it's job losses you're so concerned about, then maybe if YTV weren't so happy treading water with the likes of Heartbeat, then they'd have moved on to pastures new and brought us some new alternative programmes.

The Royal was a Heartbeat rip-off which shows just how much enterprise YTV must have had. Clearly, the organisation was a waste of money (haven't you heard about the loss in advertising revenue?) and its demise will not see most of us shed many tears.

And if the staff are so valuable, one would imagine that they'd be snapped up by other TV companies.

we all no what programmes you dont like give us an idea what you do like.

I would struggle to find anything worth watching on television.

I have enjoyed James and Oz Drink To Britain but that's about it.

It's the radio more often for me or, better still, a good read.

That was a great series, and I thought it was quite accurate that they decided, after all that, that it was tea! :thumbsup:
