Your story “ITV2 seeks its first ad agency” (MW March 8) may have misled your readers into thinking that ITV2 is seeking a creative advertising agency. This is not the case. We will be appointing an agency to develop a new on-air identity and to refresh our on-air look. HHCL remains ITV’s roster agency, responsible for the creation of ITV’s off-air advertising campaigns.

ITV2 has produced and acquired original programming since its launch and will continue to do so.
