ITV Ventures

Background
In 2004, both Carlton Communications and Granada merged to form "ITV plc". At the time, Carlton had their existing home video unit, while Granada had a deal with Video Collection International. The merger meant the deal could be revoked and that Granada programs were able to be released through Carlton's unit, which was soon rebranded as Granada Ventures, therefore allowing all ITV-produced shows on DVD to be branded under one name.
