Result of Shareholder Meetings

The Board of Carlton Communications Plc announces that at the Carlton Ordinary
Shareholder Court Meeting and the Carlton Extraordinary General Meeting held
earlier today, both of the resolutions approving the merger with Granada plc
were duly passed.

All of the resolutions proposed at the EGM to approve the ITV plc employee
share plans were also duly passed.

The results of the poll on the resolution to approve the Carlton Ordinary
Shareholder Scheme held at the Carlton Ordinary Shareholder Court Meeting were
402,315,704 shares for the resolution (representing 99.99% of shares voted) and
29,986 shares against the resolution (representing 0.01% of shares voted). The
votes for the resolution were cast by 1,823 shareholders representing 98.27% in
number of those voting.

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. The results of the poll on the resolution were 37,767,160
shares for the resolution (representing 56.04% of shares voted) and 29,622,383
shares against the resolution (representing 43.96% of shares voted). The votes
for the resolution were cast by 406 shareholders representing 78.23% in number
of those voting. Carlton Preference Shareholders will therefore continue to
hold their Carlton Preference Shares following completion of the merger.

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.
