The Annual Performance Reviews of the regional Channel 3 Companies will be published once the ITC's review of the changes to ITV's network schedule has been completed.
The ITC exists to promote and safeguard the interests of all viewers of commercially funded television, while fostering a dynamic and innovative market place.
