Caledonia Media

Caledonia Media plc (formally G2 Media) is the legal operating body of the Northern Scotland franchise holder, GTV, and is owned 85% by Forest Media plc and 15% by Emoa Group plc. It was created in 2009 by Emoa Group to purchase GTV and some of Emoa's Scottish assets, so that Emoa can re-focus its business on the North East and the Midlands. It then advertised the sale of the business, until 85% of the company was purchased by Forest Media in August 2009. Emoa Gael Television Ltd, which previously operated the entirety of GTV, continues to exist alongside CM as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emoa Television, however the general operations, production and franchise ownership now belong to CM. Caledonia Media currently owns the following assets:


 * Broadcast licence for North West Scotland & Highlands
 * GTV operation
 * Main Block and half of Commerce Block, of the Gael Studios site (and 71% of its personnel)
 * GTV brand name (although Emoa retains rights if it to ever re-offer services in the GTV region)
 * GTV Extra
 * Non-networked owned parition of GTV's Freeview multiplex
 * GTV News library archive
 * Rights to GTV non-news regional programming titles
 * GTV's regional production unit, including Studio 1, production equipment, and some OB facilities.
 * Studio and infrastructure sharing agreement
 * Newsgathering centres in Stornoway, Fort William and Lerwick

Assets which Emoa has refrained from transferring to CM (and retained by Emoa Gael Television Ltd) are :-
 * GTV's 50% stake in Emoa Productions
 * Studio 2 and half of the Commerce Block of Gael Studios
 * Non-regional programmes currently produced in Gael Studios
 * Playout and infrastructure arm, Neptune, based in Gael Studios
 * Non-news local programming archive (an access agreement will be created)
 * Six Text (Scotland)

Caledonia Media trades almost exclusively as GTV; the Caledonia Media name is largely only used for legal contexts, however since the sale of 85% of the shares, the name is likely to see some public surfacing. All of GTV's services continue to be operated as they were prior to the partition of Emoa Gael Television Ltd. Since the purchase, no drastic changes are planned for the station, besides a periodical re-brand of magazine programme GTV Tonight to "GTV News at Six", alongside the commission of some new regional programming. The Emoa logo has dissappeared from GTV's production endcaps, and a new website will shortly be unveiled.
