Talk:Channel 3 (UK)

Merge
this should be part of ITV, why do we need a diffrent article just for channel3, we could have one for 1,2,4 and 5 ect. we should merge it all in to one.
 * Nope. ITV1 is not a channel - it is just an unofficial name used by 11 of the 15 franchises in England and Wales. ITV is the common name for all 15 regional franchises accross the whole of the UK. Channel 3 is a generic legal formality describing the whole of the ITV Network issued by Ofcom, but only used for legal purposes. ITV may also describe ITV plc, which owns all of the 15 Channel 3 franchises in England and Wales, but in Wikipedia, the difference between ITV and ITV plc is always made clear (ITV is the UK-wide Channel 3 network owned by all of the franchise holders, ITV plc is just a company owning 11 of those franchises in Eng&Wal). ITV plc also owns all of the present ITV digital channels. Hope this clears things up /Marbles 13:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. MERGE! This article has little meaning to people today. I have NEVER heard anyone call it "Channel 3" and with digital tv as the leader in broadcasting, it's meaning fades further still. Wikipedia has standards to meet the most commonly used names to describe articles. This is not a common name for the broadcast
 * ITV and Channel 3 have totally different meanings. Channel 3 is basically the name of the licence, and ITV is the name of the network of 15 regional broadcasters. ITV1 is a generic brand only used in England and Wales. Read above for more information. /Marbles 18:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you Marbles for clearing this up, I think the article needs to make this point clearer, or maybe I should pay More Atention!!!!

 * Voting is evil. Nothing on Wikipedia is decided by vote. We use consensus. People can, and should, discuss this proposal. But "the majority" shall not have the "casting vote".  REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  21:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
