Since 1993, the ITC has published data relating to the network commissioning arrangements and process for Channel 3 in its Annual Report. This year, the 1997 Report was published prior to the information being fully available. The Networking Arrangement Reports are published following a 1993 investigation by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission into the networking arrangements; as part of the conclusion, it was agreed that the ITC would monitor, analyse and report on them. The Report deals with: Letters of Intent; contracts signed (numbers, programme hours and rights) ; and transmission data. General network programmes information is contained in the ITC's 1997 Annual Report, "Overview of Channel 3 Performance"
