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:
“I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.”
