Divisions of ITV Studios
In 2004, a duopoly had formed, and Granada owned six franchises whilst Carlton Communications owned five. Granada took over Carlton in 2004 with the amalgamation of ITV. Consequently, programmes produced by all division were referred to as "A Granada Manchester Production", "A Granada London Production" etc. at the end of credits. ITV Studios comprises the following network production divisions from its predecessor companies.
- ITV Anglia
- ITV Central
- ITV Granada
- ITV Wales & West (aka Harlech Television) - including its former subsidiaries, Red Rooster Films and Television Entertainment.
- ITV London (Carlton Television and London Weekend Television)
- ITV Meridian
- ITV Tyne Tees
- ITV Yorkshire
- GMTV
* ITV Border and ITV Westcountry rarely contributed network programmes, so were largely unaffected by the creation of ITV Studios.
