Press Release Wednesday 5 November 2003


Granada plc		Carlton Communications plc

ITV

A Steering Committee consisting of the six Non-Executive Directors announced on 10th October 2003 (three from Granada PLC (“Granada”) and three from Carlton Communications PLC (“Carlton”)) met earlier today to discuss the future Board structure for ITV following completion of the proposed merger of Granada with Carlton.

That Committee agreed that pending completion of the merger, Sir Brian Pitman (from Carlton) should act as interim Chairman and Sir George Russell (from Granada) as interim Deputy Chairman of a “Board-in-waiting” consisting of those six Non-Executive Directors and Charles Allen and Henry Staunton (respectively the designated Chief Executive and Finance Director of ITV). The Board-in-waiting will facilitate decision making for the combined business.

It was also agreed that a firm of recruitment specialists should be appointed immediately to recommend to the Board-in-waiting an independent candidate for the position of Non-Executive Chairman of ITV. The objective is to have the Chairman in place by the time that the merger is completed, which is expected to happen early in the New Year.
