 ===Background===
-'''ITV''' is a British free-to-air commercial television network. It was launched in 1955 as '''Independent Television''' to provide competition to the government-funded [[BBC Television (UK)|BBC]]. 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, [[BBC One|BBC1]], [[BBC Two |BBC2]] and [[Channel 4]]. Once being a federation of separate regional companies, today, ITV serves most of the United Kingdom under a unified brand (except for Scotland with [[Scottish Television/STV|STV]], and Northern Ireland with [[Ulster Television/UTV|UTV]]).
