The sad demise of ITV Granada, Yorkshire Thames/LWT THE MAKERS OF QUALITY TELLY!!

[@neilforbes416]

This was another department where Britain had the right idea! Their TV stations had proper corporate identities which served as their on-air identification(call-sign), Granada, HTV West, Anglia, Heritage, Trident, ATV, Thames/London Weekend(Thames, Monday-to-Friday, London Weekend, Saturday & Sunday), and of course BBC-TV. Here in Australia our metropolitan stations hid behind their channel numbers and, with the exception of a period in the 1980s when the Australian Television Network(ATN-Sydney, HSV-Melbourne, BTQ-Brisbane, ADS-Adelaide and TVW-Perth) identified itself as such but got timid again and hid behind its channel number, 7. Australian TV stations should've adopted the British practice and given themselves REAL identities!

I loved Granada Studios. I was born in Manchester but moved Yorkshire when I was 12 but I’m Lancashire through and through. I remember going to the studios in 1998 it was brilliant. I’ve been to both Coronation Streets at Granada and MediaCity

I got my first proper job at Granada Studios Tour in 1988. I remember the induction day. We all had to meet in the foyer at Granada TV. We were shown around the tour whilst it was still under construction. Behind the studios there used to be a pub called the Pineapple, long gone now! Don’t recognise Manchester these days.

living in canada, these sort of things are often over looked, but that's when globle and a few other renaged stations like cbc, would buy up a lot of those shows, and we would catch them from time to time. britian rocked the world during the 60's 70's and 80's, British shows were the best.

If the Granada studios are still there in 30 years I’ll rent it out to film an idea in my head called “Drawn Out” more details will be revealed in the coming years.

You could see the bobbin on top of the tower from the motorway. And I did work experience there in 1986!

They didn't mention the full size replica of the House of Commons chamber that was one of the attractions of the tour.
