felt that it would give too much control to the Grade business.

became Associated TeleVision (ATV) from1955 to 1966. From 1966 to 1982, the ITC
remained a subsidiary of Associated Communications Corporation (ACC) after the
ATV was acquired.
The
ITC garnered immense popularity in the foreign market and this led ACC to
receive the Queen’s Award for Export. Unfortunately, after a brief period of
success, ATV witnessed its demise. The ITC then became the production company
in the year 1982. Later in 1988, the Bond Corporation purchased the Bell group
that owned ITC.
