Short answers, pulled from the story.
Granada Reports is produced by ITV Granada and broadcasts from studios in the Orange Tower at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays. It serves the North West of England, with additional reporters based in Liverpool, Lancaster and on the Isle of Man.
Granada Reports traces back to when Granada began broadcasting in May 1956, though the current name was not adopted until 1973. Before that, the news service ran under names including Northern Newscast, Scene at 6.30, Six-O-One and Newsday.
Its programme at the time, Scene at 6.30, received a tip-off from CBS News, which allowed it to become the first British television programme to break the story.
Lucy Meacock was the programme's long-serving main anchor, presenting her final edition on the 1st of August 2024 after 36 years working for ITV Granada.
Joy Division made its television debut on Granada Reports on the 20th of September 1978, performing Shadowplay during the programme's What's On segment.
Granada Reports has won BAFTA Television Awards for Best News Coverage in 2007 and 2013. It has also won Royal Television Society awards, including Best Regional News Programme for the North West in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011-2012 and 2013.
