The required remedies include the introduction of a new system for renewals of advertising contract rights and the appointment of an independent adjudicator to oversee them Granada and Carlton had worried that Hewitt might require them to sell all or part of their advertising operations to allay fears that a merged broadcaster would have too much power in the market
"Subject to suitable undertakings being offered by Carlton and Granada so that the merger can go ahead, I am confident that the merged company will be able to compete more effectively with the BBC, (independent) Channels 4 and 5, and BSkyB," Hewitt said
"Broadcasting as a whole will benefit 6 billion pounds The combined business would account for more than half of the country's TV advertising revenues, and Hewitt said it would be in a stronger position to compete with satellite broadcaster BSkyB and the state-run British Broadcasting Corp 91 billion 16 billion pounds ($6 The remedies are aimed at safeguarding the interests of other ITV license-holders and future competition for the sale of on-air advertising time 7 to put into effect specific "behavioral remedies" recommended by the Competition Commission 78) while Carlton's shares rose 8

Germany's Bertelsmann AG and Hallmark Entertainment, a subsidiary of Kansas City, Mo Under this system, advertisers would be able to renew their contracts on the same overall terms but with a discount corresponding to any year-on-year decline in ITV ratings Granada's shares were trading 4 Growing investor interest has lifted this estimate by 60 percent since last October, when the merger was valued at 2 2 percent to 196 "
The new business would be called ITV PLC
Industry analysts have described such measures as less onerous than a sale of assets, which would have reduced the value of the merged business 91 billion) Just before Hewitt's announcement, investors valued the combined business at 4
A stronger ITV would be better able to provide high-quality programs, including regional programs, she added
Secretary of trade and industry Patricia Hewitt said she would look favorably upon a combination of the two broadcasters so long as they took steps to ensure that the merger wouldn't hurt competitiveness in the industry British Gov't Backs Independent TV Merger
Oct 7, 9:19 AM EST
