ITV Local was a broadband service provided by ITV plc, the contractor and provider of ITV in 11 of the 15 Television Regions. First established in 2005, the website provided local news, weather and features on demand 24 hours a day.
The project began with two trial services in Brighton and Hastings. Due to the success of this, the service was expanded to cover the entire region, then whole of the ITV plc network.
On 4 March 2009, it was announced that Local would close as a separate business. It did on 17 March 2009, with the regions integrated into ITV.com.

Famous quotes containing the word local:
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
