Since 28 October 2002, the two franchises (both owned by ITV plc) have been managed as a single entity but are still legally separate. The only notable on-air differences between the two franchises is that local weather forecasts broadcast from Friday night to Sunday is branded as London Weekend Weather, and is sponsored by a different company to the weekday forecasts. ITV London, like other ITV plc regions, does not receive visual local identification for regional programming, although this happened much earlier than in other regions.
The Friday 5:15pm to Monday 6:00am franchise has been held by LWT since 2 August 1968 (LWT did not start broadcasting at 5.15 pm until 1 January 1982; up to the end of 1981 it took over from Thames Television at 7.00 pm) and the Monday 9:25am to Friday 5:15pm franchise has been held by Carlton since 1 January 1993.
