Border IS owned by Granada media Group. Here's proof.
Quote from Granada Media Group website at http://www.granadamedia.com/cybersword/dotcom/granada.asp?section=MAIN Also, on the ITV website, on the ITV Regions page, the Scottish and Grampian links lead to channel websites now, not SMG, like it used to. 
UPDATE! From Border Television Area: http://www.bordertvarea.co.uk/index2.htm
It seems Border has been owned by GMG for over a year!
