Granada Reports
ITV News Granada Reports is a British television regional news service, produced by ITV Granada and serving the North West of England.
Granada Reports is produced and broadcast from studios in the Orange Tower at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays.
Before this, the news service was based at Granada's Quay Street studios in Manchester city centre. Reporters are also based at newsrooms in the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool, Lancaster and on the Isle of Man. News staff were also based at district offices in Blackburn and Chester, until they were closed in 2005.
Most of Cumbria is served by ITV News Lookaround that broadcasts from Gateshead but southern parts of the county, such as Barrow-in-Furness, are still served by Granada Reports. Western North Yorkshire (Settle), northern Staffordshire (Biddulph and Kidsgrove) and northwest of Derbyshire (Buxton, Glossop, New Miils and Chapel-en-le-Frith) get their signals from the Winter Hill TV transmitter that broadcasts Granada Reports rather than the neighbouring regions of ITV News Calendar and ITV News Central.
When Granada began broadcasting in May 1956, coverage of regional news and sport featured regularly within its programming, including the station's Travelling Eye outside broadcasts.
Within a year, Granada established its first regular bulletin - Northern Newscast - followed by a topical magazine programme, People and Places, noted for featuring some of the earliest television appearances by The Beatles.
In 1958, Granada broke further ground with three Travelling Eye programmes covering the Rochdale by-election.
Up until 1962, the station was also producing topical output in the Welsh language, primarily for Welsh-speaking viewers in North Wales, including daily news bulletins and a magazine programme, Dewch i Mewn (Do Come In).
