ITV Border, previously Border Television, is the ITV franchise holder for the England/Scotland border region, covering Dumfries & Galloway, a small part of the south-west area of Ayrshire, the Scottish Borders, parts of north and west Northumberland and the majority of Cumbria. The station formerly covered the Isle of Man between 26 March 1965 and 15 July 2009.
Border Television was taken over by Granada plc in 2001, and the company was renamed ITV Border in 2004. ITV Border merged with ITV Tyne Tees on Wednesday, 25 February 2009, to form a non-franchise region known as ITV Tyne Tees & Border.

Famous quotes containing the word border:
“For my part, I feel that with regard to Nature I live a sort of border life, on the confines of a world into which I make occasional and transient forays only, and my patriotism and allegiance to the state into whose territories I seem to retreat are those of a moss-trooper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
