ITV Tyne Tees, previously known as
Tyne Tees,
Channel 3 North East and
Tyne Tees Television, is the
ITV television franchise for
North East England and parts of
North Yorkshire. Tyne Tees is owned and operated by
ITV plc under the licensee of
ITV Broadcasting Limited. The
analogue signals in the Tyne Tees region were switched off in 2012, making the station, along with ITV London and UTV, one of the last ITV regions to solely broadcast digitally. Tyne-Tees Television Ltd and Tyne-Tees Television Holdings still legally exist. Each of these companies is, along with most other regional companies owned by ITV plc, listed on www.companieshouse.gov.uk as a "
Dormant company".
