	Bernstein, Sidney
		It is said he chose the name Granada for his cinema chain, and later for his television company, because its Spanish reference connoted sun-drenched gaiety and flamboyance, the qualities he sought to have associated with his entertainment establishments, which tended in the early days of cinema to be decorated in the Spanish baroque style.
		All the same, Granada and Bernstein were quick to overcome their reservations when the resulting Television Act of 1954 signalled the end of the BBC's monopoly and permitted private companies to apply for the first regional commercial franchises.
		Already by January 1957, Granada was responsible for all the top ten rated programmes receivable in its region and, in 1962, it became the first station to screen the Beatles to the British television audience.

	Brideshead Revisited
		Brideshead Revisited was made by Granada television, scripted by John Mortimer and originally shown on ITV in October 1981.
		These "white flannel" dramas, both on television and on the big screen, represented a yearning for an England that was no more, or never was.
		Granada was committed to capturing the atmosphere of Waugh's original novel and the high production values signaled a desire for authenticity.

	screenonline: Broadcasters and Industry Bodies > Granada Television
		To emphasise their commitment to the region, the Bernsteins established apartments in the complex, and in fact this regional imperative was so pervasive that ultimately 'Granada' and 'from the North' became inseparable and the Bernsteins referred to their empire as 'Granadaland'.
		Initially, Granada broadcast to a 'pan-North' region, covering both sides of the Pennines from transmitters at Winter Hill and Emley Moor, a situation that didn't change as a result of the 1964 franchise round.
		Granada annexed the latter in 2004 to create 'ITV plc', which now broadcasts an almost entirely non-regional, homogenised, nationally-networked schedule and provides the 'third channel' to the entire country outside Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Channel Islands.

		These included a four week work placement at Granada Television in Manchester and the commissioning by Granada of the documentary I'd produced and directed on the course, A Special Need to Achieve, which was broadcast in July 2003.
		The MA in Television Production was a perfect combination of practice and theory and its strong links with Granada Television through GMEP became more evident as the course progressed.
		Its links with the television industry particularly ITV Granada and the BBC along with the practical elements of the course prepared me for employment at Granada TV where I worked for three years before moving to the BBC.

	Coronation Street, Granada Television Studios, Manchester
		Granada Television's flagship long running TV show, Coronation Street, affectionately known simply as "Corrie", was first transmitted on Friday 9th December 1960 with an expected six weeks run.
		It was envisaged and created by novelist Tony Warren as a short drama serial based on everyday life in a fictitious Manchester suburb called Weatherfield, populated by various stereotypical characters, and set in the then rather dour back-to-back terraced streets of a less prosperous northern city.
		The show has has attracted a whole generation of writers and authors to create its storylines, and a veritable cavalcade of stars of film, theatre and television have trodden its cobbled street.

	The 1974 Granada Television Trial By Jury
		This performance was broadcast on Granada Television in Christmas Eve, 1974.
		This production of Trial by Jury, made by Granada TV as part of their Parade arts series, is an excellent rendering of the complete opera with superb singers (many of whom were appearing with Sadlers Wells at the time) and great musical direction from Sir Charles Mackerras.
		For what must have been a fairly cheaply-made affair, the set of a Victorian courtroom is very impressive (although it does have that slightly-painted look one sees on stage sets).

	Granada writes \| Telemusications from Transdiffusion
		When Granada came to do the presentation for their innovative “Granada In the North” service (a groundbreaking mix of regional and national news) they either didn’t want to or didn’t remember to modify the “G”, and you can see how the namestyle looks without the spurred “G”.
		Granada was keen to adopt new trends in graphic design, and made good use of the new wave of typefaces.
		Granada Pan-North were commendably consistent with their graphic design, this slide being one of a huge series of “H” design Granada slides.

		The Granada building is important chiefly because the architect on the project was Ralph Tubbs; perhaps best known for his work on the 1951 Festival of Britain, with his design for the Festival’s centrepiece, The Dome of Discovery.
		Granada House was one of the first buildings in the city to be constructed using the curtain wall method.
		Granada House is an important building in Manchester’s architectural and cultural histories and if Granada does pull out of the city we must do all we can to protect it.

		Granada said a consolidated ITV would be able to accelerate its digital strategy and rapidly develop itv.co.uk and a family of themed channels.
		Granada said United's strength in children's, animation and wildlife programmes would complement its own strengths in drama, entertainment and factual genres.

		About half an hour before the main segment in which I featured, I did a brief trailer to camera (all of this was live television).
		I suggested that viewers who had their own PC at home should get a standard floppy disk, and put some non-essential data on it.

		Another key difference was that Independent Television (or ITV as it became known later) consisted of several different companies, each one serving a different part of the British Isles and producing programmes which were either shown locally or nationally across the entire network.
		Granada Television (which originally served the North-West of England and Yorkshire) is the longest surviving of the ITV companies (since 1956) and now owns all of the ITV franchises for England and Wales.
		Westward Television was arguably the first of the "second wave" of ITV franchises to start broadcasting in 1961, following on from the initial batch of franchises which had included Southern and Tyne Tees as well as the pioneers Associated-Rediffusion and Granada.

		Few television analysts were surprised when, last October, the ITC, U.K.'s TV regulatory body, re-awarded to Granada Television the TV franchise for the North West region.
		Indeed, for reasons not yet clear, Granada Television has been benevolently ignored by the trade and general press as far as its wheeling and dealing are concerned.
		And few headlines were printed when, in December 1991, Granada Television announced a 40 per cent slump in pre-tax profits for the year to September, compared to 1990.

		But it was also shortly after the board of the Granada Group, in order to arrest the group's declining fortunes, had enlisted the skills of Gerry Robinson, a notably resolute young Irish business leader who had recently achieved great financial success with his Compass catering company.
		He played a key role in Granada's pioneering election programme, Marathon, in 1968, in which every political candidate was given a voice, and in the coverage of the party conferences.
		In 1975 he was made a director of the Granada Group and in 1987 became chairman of Granada Television.
