Result of Shareholder Meetings                         

The Board of Carlton Communications Plc announces that, based on proxies
received prior to the Carlton Ordinary Shareholder Court Meeting held earlier
today, the resolution approving the merger with Granada plc was passed by an
overwhelming majority.

At the Carlton Preference Shareholder Court Meeting also held earlier today, a
resolution was proposed to approve the cancellation of Carlton's 6.5p
Convertible Preference Shares in consideration of the payment in cash by ITV
plc of 102 pence per share (plus accrued dividend). The merger is not
conditional on the passing of this resolution. The resolution required approval
by a simple majority in number representing three-fourths in value of those
Carlton Preference Shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy, and
was not passed. Carlton Preference Shareholders will therefore continue to hold
their Carlton Preference Shares following completion of the merger.

Full details of the votes cast on these resolutions and the results of the
Carlton Extraordinary General Meeting to be held today will be announced in due
course.

The merger remains subject, amongst other things, to approval by Granada plc
shareholders at meetings to be held later today and to the sanction of the High
Court (expected on 30 January 2004). It is expected that the merger will become
effective and trading in shares in ITV plc will commence on 2 February 2004.
