has gloss | eng: Tyne Tees Television (now known as ITV Tyne Tees, part of the multiple franchise ITV Tyne Tees & Border region) is the ITV television franchise for North East England and some of North Yorkshire. The structure of Tyne Tees has altered across its history, notably in various mergers with Yorkshire Television, and then the larger regional companies that would eventually control the entire ITV network. As of 2009, it forms part of a non-franchise ITV Tyne Tees & Border region, shared with the ITV Border region. Tyne Tees is owned and operated by ITV plc under the licensee of ITV Broadcasting Limited. Tyne Tees is led by Graeme Thompson, who is the regional director for Tyne Tees and Border. |
