In 1996 Carlton Communications plc purchased the company - renamed Cinema Media - from The Rank Group plc. It then took its present name, Carlton Screen Advertising.
Carlton Communications merged with Granada plc on 2 February 2004, The Carlton name has since been dropped from all other uses (it had been dropped from the ITV franchises except for production captions in late 2003, was dropped from all local branding on 2 February 2004 and from network productions on 1 November 2004). The cinema advertising operation is the only part of the former Carlton to still use the brand.
