	Granada Television (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Granada Television is the British Independent Television (commercial television) contractor for the "North of England" weekday franchise from 1954 (started broadcasting in 1956) until 1968, and for the "Northwest England" all-week franchise since 1968.
		Granada is the only one of the original four ITA franchisees from 1954 which survived as a franchise holder into the twenty-first century.
		Granada's policy of regional identification was so successful that the ITA decided that all franchise contractors, large or small, should identify with their regions in this way -- this was a problem which was to dog ATV for the rest of its existence and be the direct cause of the company's demise.

	Carlton Communications Plc / Granada Plc
		On 16 October 2002, Carlton Communications Plc (Carlton) and Granada plc (Granada) announced an agreed merger, which they believed would pave the way for a fully consolidated ITV and create a company that would be one of the leading commercial broadcasters in Europe.
		We concluded that, unless the other licensees could continue to sell their airtime through the merged entity’s sales house on terms similar to those that they currently enjoyed, the proposed merger would have an adverse effect on them, and so might be expected to operate against the public interest.
		Our view was that competition between Carlton and Granada limited what advertisers or media buyers could be charged by, in particular, limiting the advertising budget commitment that could be demanded for a given level of discount.
