New chairman might undo the harm done by Michael Grade by saving the regions.

Bit late to realise this is what made ITV unique and the loyalty to brands in regions.

Just a shame that staff have already been made redundant and TV studios have already closed.

What are they going to do, start building new TV Studios to replace those already demolished ?  What a waste of money.

Better late than never this decision, but damage has already been done.  Will take a generation to put right !

Having thought about this, I don't think its anything to do with 'ITV Regional' television at all being good for ITVplc. I think its a case they've realised a bit too late that if the local transmission on ITV1 is dished out once more to local companies their whole 'regional ITV is faling' could be blasted away if these shows with investment and production values take off will show them up as deliberately winding down the local structure for profit over viewers.

They don't want that now do they.

And all this tory crap about a new local channel, it should be pointed out that that is what ITV is supposed to be, only some companies got a little greedy, governments got a little slack, regulators got quite pathetic and instead of those bodies saying 'this is the contract you signed up for, if you don't like it hand back your licence' they pandered and gave in and we have the mess that is ITV1 v UTV/STV/CTV.

We've just had 8 ITV trailers in a row between the local news before the ITN one, I wouldn't mind but we had a Survival one for 'Sunday at 7' directly followed by the exact same identical trailer only the end said 'tonight at 7'.

Does no one check these things anymore.
