ITV Border, Brunel Way

The original name "Border Television" was changed in 2006, not long after the business became part of ITV plc. For background information, see NY4254 : Border Television Studios .
In its later years the station's main output was local news, including the popular magazine programme "Lookaround" (commonly referred to as "Border Crack 'n' Deekaboot"). A big campaign to keep its production in Carlisle could not stop ITV from transferring operations to Gateshead, now the centre for a merged Tyne Tees and Border regional news service.
The last broadcast from this studio was on 24 February 2009. 51 jobs were lost at Border; 13 staff were retained to cover the area's news, with a much smaller new base at Kingstown, Carlisle.
These studios at Durranhill were sold, and demolished in 2010 - see Link
