Overview
Granada Reports and Granada News is produced and broadcast from Granada Television's studios in Quay Street, Manchester with reporters also based at newsrooms in the Royal Liver Building, Liverpool, Lancaster and on the Isle of Man. Reporters were also based at newsrooms in Blackburn and Chester until both offices were closed in 2005.
Prior to its launch in 1973, the nightly news programme had been known under several titles such as Northern Newscast, Scene at Six Thirty and People and Places. The Granada Reports brand was originally scrapped in 1990 and replaced by Granada Tonight before the former name was revived on 1 October 2001.
Granada was mainly unaffected by the ITV regional news cuts in 2009. The only major change saw ITV Granada take over coverage of the Isle of Man from ITV Tyne Tees & Border on 16 July 2009.
