Yes, but ITVplc are not just run and used by Granada and Carlton. There are many more companies like Carlton and Granada who are assosciated with ITVplc. From the looks of it, many, many companies own a part of, or use ITVplc.

No, ITV plc is the English and Welsh ITV regional companies which were bought either by Granada or Carlton before their merger. Once they merged, it became ITV plc. After the merger, Channel TV was bought by ITV plc so now it comprises of the English and Welsh regions (and Southern Scotland) AND the Channel Islands

I'm going to deduce that you're confusing ITV (the Network) with ITV plc (the company).

Possibly.

Not sure what you are saying or thinking. ITV plc is a company that was formed out of the merger or purchases of the separate companies that used to run the English and Welsh (and Channel Islands and Breakfast) ITV franchises, via a series of previous mergers and purchases.

In ITV plc terms Granada, Carlton, LWT, Yorkshire, Anglia, Meridian, Border, HTV, Westcountry, Tyne Tees, Central, Channel and ITV Breakfast (GMTV or whatever it is called) etc. are all part of a single company - ITV plc.

UTV and Scottish are the two ITV franchise holders outside ITV plc.

If I were him I would take my Phonecard to my nearest British Telecom telephone box and call the IBA about it.

Technically, London Weekend Television Limited does still exist, as an active (but dormant) company, with 2 directors and 1 subsidiary:

Didn't all the ITV plc regional licences get renamed to 'ITV Broadcasting Limited' a while back? (except Channel Television)

A quick glance at this page on the Ofcom website shows that all the ITV licences (except the two STVs, UTV, Channel, and ITV Breakfast Broadcasting Limited) are all held by ITV Broadcasting Limited, registered at The London Television Centre. That's not to say that some of its predecessor companies don't still exist - according to that DueDil page, LWT Ltd wholly owns a company called ITV Sales, which is probably for some sort of exciting accounting reasons.
