Vanquish Broadcasting

Vanquish Broadcasting ltd is a holding company established in January 2009 that has operated several Network Six regional franchises since its inception. Through Cautley and Network Borders respectively, it currently owns the right to broadcast to Yorkshire & Lincolnshire and, from 1st March 2011, the Cumbria, Isle of Man and Dumfries & Galloway region after securing the English/Scottish Borders licence during the 2011 Franchise Round.

Previously, it operated the Northern Ireland licence with emerald1 and the London Weekday region with Lux. The former was sold as a going concern to Londay Broadcasting in November 2009 following Vanquish Media's withdrawal from out of England activities, whilst Lux chose not to rebid for its licence in the 2011 round after a year's broadcasting.

Cautley_shift, a 1 hour timeshift of Cautley and Vanquish Broadcasting's first digital-only channel, launched on 20th March 2009. It was later rebranded as Cautley+ in November 2010, with Network Borders launching its own version of the timeshift service (NB+) from March 2011. Standalone digital sister stations to the two franchises are expected to launch in Q2/Q3 of 2011, dependent upon submission acceptance.

The company's headquarters are located within theCrossKeys complex in Wakefield, Yorkshire, also home to Vanquish Media and Cautley.
