Change for Island's ITV coverage?

Monday, 29 July 2013 20:09

Could we soon see a change in the Island's news coverage on ITV?

UK communications regulator Ofcom has called for an overhaul of the channel's services and a return of Border TV.

In 2009 the evening news for the area which covers southern Scotland, Cumbria and the Isle of Man was moved from Border TV to Tyne Tees.

The Island's communications commission says there are no plans to move back, despite changes for residents in southern Scotland and Cumbria.

Conservative MP for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale David Mundell:
