This somewhat confuses me in the series of ITV franchise takeovers following the enforcement of the Broadcasting Act 1990, considering Carlton shared the same transmission facilities as its weekend counterpart at The London Studios, you'd think that, with their pre-established integration, Carlton Communications PLC would have swooped in for LWT Ltd. in late 1993-early 1994, before Granada Group PLC had the opportunity to, especially if it meant a larger commitment to home-grown programming.
I mean, technically they were united with the formation of ITV plc in 2004, but the franchise names had been well defunct on-screen for over fifteen months, aside from mentions in programme credits and production endboards.
