In the case of ITV, in the period after Paul defected to Channel 4, a lot of key people at ITV such as Charles Allen and Simon Shaps were either replaced or left and I suspect both Michael Grade and Peter Fincham wanted to make amends with Paul hence why after the show ended on Channel 4, he returned to ITV with Paul O'Grady Live.
