ITV Weather

ITV National Weather is the national forecast shown on UK terrestrial network ITV, and is provided by the Met Office. Bulletins are usually broadcast after every ITV News bulletin.

The bulletin features the longest sponsorship deal on UK terrestrial TV to date. From September 22, 1991 to June 2007, ITV National Weather was sponsored by the energy supplier Powergen, and since then by Powergen's parent company E.ON; however in 2007, the sponsorship ended after 18 years.

] This was confirmed on November 21, 2007, when it was revealed that insurance firm esure is to replace E.ON as the sponsor of ITV's national weather bulletins. The two-year deal, rumoured to be worth £10 million, was negotiated by Carat Sponsorship and began on January 1, 2008, with esure and Sheilas' Wheels as the sponsors, alternating between the two brands every two months.

] esure/Sheila's Wheels sponsorship does not, however, appear on UTV in Northern Ireland for ITV National Weather. GoCompare.com sponsorship is substituted there due to esure/Sheilas' Wheels insurance services being unavailable in Northern Ireland.
