'''ITV Border''', previously '''Border Television''' and commonly referred to as simply '''Border''', is the [[ITV (TV network)|Channel 3]] service provided by [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] Broadcasting Limited for the [[Anglo-Scottish border|England/Scotland border]] region, covering most of [[Cumbria]] and [[Dumfries and Galloway]], the [[Scottish Borders]] and parts of [[Northumberland]]. The TV service previously covered the [[Isle of Man]] from 26 March 1965 until 15 July 2009.

Border Television was taken over by [[Granada plc]] in 2001 and a year later, as part of a network-wide re-launch, the name Border Television was dropped from on-air presentation, continuity and idents before networked programming in favour of the national ITV1 brand (ITV1 Border was used before regional programming). The licence for the region was transferred from Border Television to ITV Broadcasting Limited in November 2008. The legal name of the company was changed on 29 December 2006 from Border Television Ltd to ITV Border Ltd. The company was dissolved on 7 February 2023.<ref>{{cite web |last1=House |first1=Companies |title=ITV Border Limited |url=https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00654206 |website=Gov.UK |publisher=Companies House |access-date=4 February 2023}}</ref>

As of 25 February 2009, the regional news programme ''[[ITV News Lookaround|Lookaround]]'' was broadcast from the studios of [[ITV Tyne Tees]] in [[Gateshead]] with news and advertising staff based at offices in [[Carlisle]] and [[Edinburgh]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Story|first=Chris|title=Revamped Lookaround set for broadcast on February 25|url=http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/1.510584|access-date=28 December 2011|newspaper=News & Star|date=7 February 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211054101/http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/1.510584|archive-date=11 February 2012}}</ref> However, on 16 September 2013, a full regional news service for the Border region was restored as part of an extensive relaunch of the station's local programming. A sub-regional service for the south of Scotland was reintroduced in January 2014. (The third channel in the rest of Scotland is [[STV (TV channel)|STV]].)
