Border Television, a regional independent station, started broadcasting from this purpose-built centre at Durranhill in 1961. Transmissions covered Cumberland, Westmorland, southern Scotland, parts of Northumberland, and later the Isle of Man. Since 2000 the business was sold twice, and following a merger in 2004 it became part of ITV plc. The latter restructured its regional news provision in 2009, when cost-cutting measures included the merger of Border with its neighbour Tyne Tees. Local news for the Border region is now broadcast from Gateshead. For more information see Image . The studios were demolished in 2010 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2219886 .
