The Isle of Man will join ITV's Granada news region later this year.
The Island will keep its ties to Border throughout the digital switchover this summer, but will join the north west region once it goes digital in November.
In a recent consultation, 77 per cent of respondants said they would prefer to receive their regional news from Granada.
Chairman of the Communications Commission Adrian Earnshaw, MHK, says there are many links between the Isle of Man and the Granada area:
Douglas council seeking sites for future housing development
Plans for 'major investment in new, energy-efficient homes'
Most Manx students studying in northern universities
High contingent in north-west England
Mobile Library to return to the road
Service resumes with Island-wide visits ahead of a new timetable in the New Year
Gatwick drop-off fee rises again
Heads up for Manx air passengers travelling to London
