This always happens when new services are set up. Contracts simply take time to catch up. ITV1+1 is not a separate company but it is a separate channel within the definitions of contracts like these.

For example, you never used to be able to watch the English FA Cup Final live on BBC1 Scotland because the existing broadcast rights didn't extend to Scotland at the time the full regionalised digital service was launched. AFAIK they have now resolved that.
