It says that there is problems with The Wright Stuff & that it has been cancelled in the Anglia Section, hope not.

I'm Not bothered as long as they keep regional names & don't become stupid like Granada London Weekend Television

Johnny, you are being naive if you think that a single ITV will keep all the regional names intact Sad

Enjoy the ITV regions while you can -- they're living on borrowed time as of now, although I can see Channel, UTV and SMG continuing as separate entities for a long time... This move will lead to a complete Carlton/Granada merger, and probably sooner rather than later. On the one hand this is good because the Carlton name WILL disappear from the Central and Westy areas, on the other hand the regional structure will disintigrate over time.
