Make bullet points of all the companies/networks in the history and also give in brackets the years they lasted for (Start year to end year), and then the description in 1 sentence in brackets ITV Alternative Universe History In 1950, a small satellite called Satellites 6 and 7 formed, and began to broadcast from a remote location near Earth. The broadcasts became so successful that they became a source of news and entertainment worldwide, with many people becoming obsessed with Satellites. It was created as ITV in 1954, and was launched during a television program. Satellites 6 and 7 were the first "real" Satell ites, with many more of the first satellites in orbit. ITV was broadcast from the time the satellite was launched in July 1957 and later the programme was launched on November 24th 1963 in a press release. After the broadcast, ITV began using its own satellite (Named ITV Satellites 9), and the programme has continued to evolve. In 1988, ITV was selected to be the third satellite on the network of the BBC's broadcast service, after its predecessor, Satellites 6 and 7. Then the regions were formed and Granada Television was launched in 1996. This was the first ever ITV television station to be created from a satellite in a single location. Since 1998, ITV was replaced by ITV1, and ITV2 was made also. In 2001, Satellites 14 was created, and has got digital broadcast like ITV1. BBC Television, which was founded in 2002 , has become a digital broadcasting organisation, with several subsidiaries in the same company. In 2004, to rebrand all the regions, they were renamed to the ITV branding with the same names. In 2006 ITV3 and 4 were made, they are digital channels like ITV1 and ITV2, also known as the English Channel of Excellence. The stations are broadcast at all time and are used as separate networks. Then in 2008, ITV was remade but as the new name of Granada Television. At the time of its founding, it was the fifth satellite to be added, the first television company that had all ITV channels plus ITV Player. In 2011, ITV was redesigned to be the only network to have digital broadcast, with the ITV1 through 4 and 5, respectively. ITV5 was a different brand and it has clamped down on the popularity of its new flagship network, ITV, which is made possible by its new branding.

Now add other brands like ITV Player (now ITV Hub), ITV6 and a few regional channels
