All regions now except for STV are really all called ITV 1.
Only their regional news programmes use the old franchise names now. If UTV Live changed its name to a more neutral new regional news name, then there would be no problem with dumping the name UTV.
BBC Northern Ireland in 1996 axed their "Inside Ulster" news show and renamed it Newsline, a neutral name for their regional news in that region, ITV could so a similar thing.
It's always been Calendar here but I can see the old franchise names disappearing with the possible exception of UTV and STV.
