Networked ITV - 1990s and before...

I remember Granada opting out of This Morning to show regional news updates during the 1993 Manchester bombings, whilst still feeding This Morning to network.


I wonder whether This Morning was fed directly to the network stations (from Liverpool) or whether it was routed through Manchester?

The Manchester Bomb was on a Saturday (and was in 1996)


Sorry, I was referring to this incident from December 1992.

Steve, I believe it went through Quay Street who inserted ITN News etc into the feed for all regions.


I very, very vaguely seem to remember Granada cutting into programmes to do their own news updates on the day of the 1985 Manchester air disaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airtours_Flight_28M) - in fact I don't recall any ITN newsflashes, just Granada ones.

Can anyone shed more light?
