They are provided by ITV plc which owns and operates the two services through its subsidiary ITV Broadcasting Ltd. Between 1968 and 2002, the two services were branded HTV Wales and HTV West as they were operated by HTV Group for most of that period. HTV continued to be the named licensee until 29 December 2006 when the legal names of the HTV companies were changed to ITV Wales & West Ltd and ITV Wales & West Group Ltd.
