History
The URL 'www.itv.com' was created on 31 October 1994, but was registered elsewhere for some years before Carlton and Granada bought the domain name after merging their respective on-line services carlton.com and G-Wizz. Both companies have since merged to form ITV plc. The original ITV URL was www.itv.co.uk, which now redirects to itv.com. itv.co.uk was and still is registered to the ITV Network Limited as opposed to ITV plc. Previous corporate logos had ".com" added as a logo for the website however this trend stopped with the 2011 redesign where a black ITV logo is used when referring to the website. ITV.com's slogan used to be "total freedom of entertainment".
