itv.com

Inspired by another post, I decided to see if itv.com is up yet. Well, the front page isn't, but imagine my surprise when I found:
http://www.itv.com/football
http://www.itv.com/itv2
http://www.itv.com/emmerdale
http://www.itv.com/coronationstreet
just by playing around. There isn't one for ITV1 yet unfortunately!

Ey up, I've just found http://www.itv.com/lwt but no other regions as yet.

EDIT: I've just found http://www.itv.com/ytv

It appears ITV.com is using the same Granada server as most of that company's sites (and the one that used to host g-wizz.net). The directories you listed should work with most Granada domains (try www.thismorning.co.uk/emmerdale or /lwt for example). So nothing in the sites is actually new.

Yeah, I know that, but at least it shows that they are going to 'neaten up' their website addresses, which many of us at this forum have felt is necessary for some time now.

Have to agree with you their Phil. At last, ITV's websites (well some at the present time) feel like they are all as a 'family'. This, is of course, for the ITV1 relaunch isn't it?

Is it just me or are they launching a BBC.com. Take a look.

http://www.bbc.com

BBC bought that years ago from boston computers for thousands. So far, they have no plans to publish it. They've also bought bbcnews.com but like bbc.com does not get published. Seems totally bizarre.

I think bbc.com is just a link to the normal BBC site. If you forget if it's bbc.co.uk and type bbc.com, you'll get to the same site.

Well, that's one explanation anyway!

Back to the ITV thing, http://www.i.tv has been registered!
Do you think they'd go that far??

BBC got the BBC.tv address for free along with a few other .tv domain names after they won a competition!
