Granada in the North caption 1965From the TVTimes for Wednesday 16 November 1966 comes this run down of what you could be watching on Granada. Things worth noting:

  • The “Independent Television Presentation” of the wrestling at 11.20pm is actually an ABC production, but paid for by Rediffusion
  • The local news magazine, Scene, is at 10.40pm – part of a two-year experiment that saw it moved there. Local news headlines also popped up between programmes with the continuity as part of “Granada in the North”. There was also a news round-up at 6.55pm, unadvertised here
  • In amongst the schools programming is The Biggest Buy, clearly more adult education than school-aged programming
  • A Tale of Two Streets at 9.40pm is from ATV Pathfinder, an attempt by Lew Grade to repeat the export success of ITC with factual programming
