ITV to become a single commercial broadcaster by 2014

Ofcom have done it and put the final nail in the coffin for the regions on ITV!

A quote from DS

"The regulator confirmed it would proceed with its September plans to permit Channel 3 licencees to cut the number of hours of non-news regional programming, daytime regional news programmes and the number of regional newsgathering centres, and added that from 2014, Channel 3 should become a single commercial network "with modest but important regulatory obligations delivering a sustainable public service commitment to national and international news and origination" and with the 6am-9:25am franchise, currently held by GMTV, reintegrated into ITV."

Hear comes the Layers from STV then. there will fight this all the way!!!

don;t expect 2014 to be the start date!

BA*****D ITV

Your STV obsession is bordering on psychotic.

If STV are reluctant, let them launch their own digital channel...

There's a thread about Ofcom's PSB review here:

Hand me my De Lorean and set it to any time during the 1990s...

You do make me giggle 623.

STV do have bunch of London lawyer already and that part is no joke!!!

This is the same story from earlier this week that DS have just re-reported and tabloid-ed up

You do make me giggle 623.

Makes sense for discussion to continue in the existing Ofcom thread.
