Independent Television Authority to provide competition to the BBC, it is also the oldest commercial network in the UK. Since the
passing of the Broadcasting Act 1990 its legal name has been Channel 3, to distinguish it from the other analogue channels at the
time, namely BBC 1, BBC 2 and Channel 4. In part, the number 3 was assigned as television sets would usually be tuned so that the
regional ITV station would be on the third button, with the other stations being allocated to the number within their name.
ITV plc and Channel Television. However, due to amalgamation of several of these companies since the creation of ITV Network
Limited (and given Channel Television is now owned by ITV plc), it has been replaced by an affiliation system. Approved by Ofcom,
this results in ITV plc commissioning and funding the network schedule, with STV and UTV paying a fee to broadcast it. s a public
service broadcaster, the ITV network is obliged to broadcast programming of public importance, including news, current affairs,
children's and religious programming as well as party election broadcasts on behalf of the major political parties and political events,
such as the Budget.

ITV is a network of television channels that operate regional television services as well as sharing
programmes between each other to be displayed on the entire network. In recent years, several of these
companies have merged so currently the fifteen franchises are in the hands of three companies.
