Welcome to the Border Television Area Website containing information regarding one of ITV's longest serving franchise holders broadcasting to Cumbria, South West Scotland and the Isle of Man for over 40 years.

The Border Television region embraces three separate and distinct cultures - English, Scottish and Manx. Its people here are united by a history which for centuries saw them fiercely contest the Borderlands through alliances that ignored nationhood and political boundaries. This history, along with a conservative tradition shaped by remoteness and life within small communities, has given a strong sense of identity to those in the Border Television region who recognise that although at times they desire to be seen apart from their near neighbours they acknowledge they share a way of life that is different from that in much of the rest of the British Isles.
