According to Ancestors Magazine April 09:
"GR is to be sold by Parent Corporation ITV, following the broadcasters announcement of disastrous advertising revenues for the last year. A spokesperson for ITV has confirmed that the site will be sold along with the rest of the Friends Reunited Group, of which it is a member, and that negotiations are already underway with potential buyers. In the meantime it is business as usual for the site, which has just added a new mapping feature, using Microsoft Virtual Earth, allowing users to view the locations as described in census entries up to 168 years ago".
