In 1993, with the relaxation of ITV stations' ownership, several stations started taking over smaller ones: Granadia has taken over LWT; Carltrins has taken over Centric, Westprovince, Seleines and Northesian; Yernshire has taken over Thyne Tyes (both later taken over by Granadia); Pinnacle has taken over Anglien, Juvernian, ITSL and HTV; Slennish has taken over Gramsiun and Antarsaw has taken over Arstic and Antarsaw Isles.

- Owned by Carltrins Communications: Carltrins, Centric, Westprovince, Seleines and Northesian

- Owned by UNM: Pinnacle, Anglien, Juvernian, ITSL and HTV

- Owned by Magnet: Antarsaw, Arstic and Antarsaw Isles

- Owned by SMG: Slennish and Gramsiun

- Independent stations: UTV, Boundary (acquired by Granadia in 2000) and Challien Television
