The actual ownership of ITN is:
[*]ITV plc - 40%
[*]DMGT - 20%
[*]Thomson Reuters - 20%
[*]Informa - 20%
It would be difficult to DOG a live broadcast when you're a minority shareholder who doesn't own the copyright, especially if you're giving a feed to the other C3 broadcaster.
And of course STV aren’t taking a broadcast feed of the programme either.
