'''{{PAGENAME}}''', legally known as '''Channel 3''', is a British free-to-air public broadcast television network. It is branded as [[ITV1]] in most of the UK except for central and northern Scotland, where it is branded as STV. It was launched in 1955 as '''Independent Television''' to provide competition, eliminating what had been the monopoly of BBC Television (established in 1936).<ref>[http://find.galegroup.com/ttda/newspaperRetrieve.do?sgHitCountType=None&sort=Relevance&tabID=T003&prodId=TTDA&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchId=R2&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=3&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2C%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28tx%2CNone%2C22%29Independent+television%3AAnd%3ALQE%3D%28da%2CNone%2C23%2901%2F01%2F1950+-+12%2F31%2F1955%24&retrieveFormat=MULTIPAGE_DOCUMENT&userGroupName=hamlib&inPS=true&contentSet=LTO&&docId=&docLevel=FASCIMILE&workId=&relevancePageBatch=CS335762707&contentSet=UDVIN&callistoContentSet=UDVIN&docPage=article&hilite=y "Commercial Television: A Guide to the constitution and working of the new service"].
