V Group

History and Formation
A year since Vision Television won the franchise and began transmission on 6net (previous management of SIX). 6net was in crisis over falling viewer-ship, franchise disagreements and eventually it lead to the network being shut down. Was taken over temporarily by franchise holder and founder Phil England then it was handed over to Orry Verducci which rebranded to SIX.

Vision were planning to venture out and became interested in different franchises. The North West was chosen, due to the fact that the current franchise at the time Venture was suffering management problems. Vision created a company called Northern Television Ltd for the North West franchise bid, Vision won the bid in June '06 and began the set up process of their Manchester studios.

The decision was made to centralise all transmission for both franchises to Cardiff, it is cost-effective and is more streamlined. On the 25 June 2006 since Vision has expanded to another region (Northern Television), we rebranded ourselves from Vision Television plc to V Group.

The V Group has currently been inactive.
