	Granada Plus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, frantic discussions were going on beind the scenes: ITV wanted the 7 million or so Sky viewers available; Sky didn't want to give Freeview any advantage; and to further complicate matters, ITV wanted the new channel to be as high up on the EPG as possible.
		Thus, ITV2 was to broadcast at channel number 118 in the EPG and ITV3 at 119.
		Granada Plus were caught unaware; they had sent out their regular highlights email at 3:50 pm.

		Granada did not produce light entertainment extravaganzas of its own, but was quite happy to transmit those produced by its co-franchisees, but by the mid-1970s it was producing programmes for an international audience, such as Laurence Olivier Presents (1976-78), Brideshead Revisited (1981), and from 1984 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

	ITV3: reaching for the Sky \| Bitstream
		By November 2003, Granada and BSkyB, co-owners of Granada Sky Broadcasting, which ran the golden oldies channel Plus, formerly Granada Plus, were in discussions over the rights to certain classic shows that were being shown on Plus.
		After all, ITV and Sky had been quite reluctant bedfellows, though this was mainly down to Carlton’s influence rather than Granada’s - but both Granada and Scottish TV had been partners with Sky in channel ventures, some of which had been less than successful.
		Sky didn’t want to give Freeview any kind of edge, as they continue growing their platform at an incredible rate, and ITV wanted the 7-million-plus viewers that Sky offered – but they also wanted ITV3 to be higher up the EPG than it would otherwise have been.
