1990s

  • 1997
    • 14 February – Entertainment channel Carlton Select is launched. It broadcasts during the evening, sharing space with Carlton Food Network and is also only broadcast on cable. It replaces SelecTV which Carlton acquired from Pearson Television. It had been broadcasting on cable since June 1995.

  • 1998
    • 1 May – Granada Good Life is renamed Granada Breeze and the change sees the abolition of the four segments.
    • 31 May – Sky Scottish stops broadcasting because the channel had failed to meet its financial targets.[1]
    • 15 November – The public launch of digital terrestrial TV in the UK takes place with the launch of ONdigital and as part of the 19-channel line-up, Carlton creates three new channels for the platform, Carlton Cinema, Carlton Kids and Carlton World and Granada, in conjunction with Littlewoods, opens Shop!.
    • 7 December – ITV2 is launched but only in England and Wales. It operates as a single service with no regional content. It is a mixed genre channel and as well as being available on ONdigital, it is also carried on cable.

2000s

  • 2000
    • 31 January – Carlton Kids stops broadcasting.[3]
    • 1 February – Carlton World stops broadcasting.[4]
    • 1 March – Carlton Select stops broadcasting.[5] Its hours are given over to Carlton Food Network (CFN), enabling it to become a full-time channel.

    • 1 August – The ITN News Channel goes on the air.
    • September – ONsport launches. It replaces Champions on 28 and Champions on 99 which had reflected the channel numbers these were broadcast on. These channels were rebranded respectively as ONsport 1 and ONsport 2 after ONdigital had purchased rights to the ATP Masters Series tennis. Whilst ONsport 1 broadcasts 24 hours a day, ONsport 2 timeshares with Carlton Cinema and is only on air to provide coverage of an alternate Champions League match.
  • 2001
    • May – Following the signing of a joint venture with supermarket chain Sainsbury's, Carlton Food Network is renamed Taste CFN.[6]
    • 11 July – Carlton and Granada relaunch OnDigital as ITV Digital in an attempt to better compete with Sky.[7]
    • 27 July – S2 closes and consequently ITV2 starts broadcasting in Scotland.
    • 11 August – The ITV Sport Channel launches. It replaces ONsport and is a premium service rather than an add-on for ITV Digital customers. It fails to get carriage on Sky and Telewest but is available on NTL.
    • 1 December – Taste CFN stops broadcasting.
  • 2002
