The company was bought out in 1997 by <a href="/wiki/STV_Group" title="STV Group">STV Group</a> (the parent company of STV, the Channel 3 broadcaster in Central Scotland). The name <i>Grampian Television</i> was retired in 2006 and the channel is now known as <i>STV</i> on-air. <a href="/wiki/STV_(TV_channel)" title="STV (TV channel)">STV runs one service</a> which covers both central and northern Scotland but with separate news bulletins. Legally, however, the two services are still licensed separately; the northern licence is held by STV North, which is owned and operated by <a href="/wiki/STV_Group" title="STV Group">STV Group plc</a> (formerly SMG plc), and the southern licence by STV Central (previously known as <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Television" title="Scottish Television">Scottish Television</a>). </p><p>As an independent company, Grampian had a very distinctive local personality which was quite different from STV's. After the station was bought, it gradually assimilated with STV, culminating in the change of name in 2006. STV did not adopt the generic <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="ITV (TV channel)">ITV</a> branding that is now used in the other Channel 3 regions which are owned by <a href="/wiki/ITV_plc" title="ITV plc">ITV plc</a>. </p><p>STV's regional news programme for Northern Scotland is called <i><a href="/wiki/STV_News" title="STV News">STV News at Six</a></i> and is supplemented by short news bulletins on weekdays. The station also produces regional television commercials. </p><p>In 2008, the United Kingdom began its 5-year programme to end analogue television broadcasts as part of the <a href="/wiki/Digital_switchover_dates_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Digital switchover dates in the United Kingdom">switchover to digital transmissions</a>, with the eight transmitters covering the STV North region (Angus, Rosemarkie, Knockmore, Eitshal, Durris, Bressay, Rumster Forest and Keelylang Hill) switching over from May to October 2010. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grampian_Television&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">For a chronological guide, see <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_Grampian_Television" title="Timeline of Grampian Television">Timeline of Grampian Television</a>.</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Foundation_and_launch">Foundation and launch</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grampian_Television&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Foundation and launch"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Applications for the new North East Scotland contract area were sought by the <a href="/wiki/Independent_Television_Authority" title="Independent Television Authority">Independent Television Authority</a> (ITA) in the spring of 1960. From the original seven applicants, three serious contenders emerged and the contract was awarded in August 1960 to <i>North of Scotland Television Limited</i> on the provision that board positions were offered to the other two final applicants, <i>Caledonian Television</i> and <i>North Caledonian Television</i>. The company's first managing director was <a href="/wiki/Ward_Thomas_(television_executive)" title="Ward Thomas (television executive)">G.E.

Grampian planned to launch on 1 October 1961 and had already bought and converted their studios for the start date. However, four months prior to launch, the <a href="/wiki/Post_Office" class="mw-redirect" title="Post Office">Post Office</a> announced that the links which would connect Grampian to the network would not be ready until February 1962.

Pressure at the highest level of Government ensured that the links were in place in time for the station's planned launch. </p><p>The first (pre-launch) test transmissions from the Durris transmitting station began on 1 September 1961.

Later in the opening day at 7pm, Grampian's first chairman, Sir Alexander B. King, presented a half-hour introductory programme about the station. At the time of launch, Grampian served a potential audience of 332,000 people in 98,000 homes.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years_on_air">Early years on air</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grampian_Television&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Early years on air"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In its first year, Grampian produced nine regular regional programmes - namely <i>News and Views</i> (a thrice-weekly magazine programme), <i>Country Focus</i>, <i>Women's World</i>, <i>Serenade</i>, <i>Scotland for Me</i>, <i>Points North</i> (a long-running current affairs programme), <i>Grampian Golf</i>, local news bulletins and monthly church services.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the early days, Grampian struggled as viewers in a key part of its transmission area, the city of <a href="/wiki/Dundee" title="Dundee">Dundee</a>, were still tuning into coverage from STV via the strong signal of the <a href="/wiki/Black_Hill_transmitting_station" title="Black Hill transmitting station">Black Hill transmitter</a>. Three months after its first transmission, the station was only attracting 13% of the available audience in Dundee while viewing audiences across the region turned out to be less than had been hoped for. Viewer correspondence was said to amount to little more than half a dozen letters per week. </p><p>The problems in Dundee along with the effects of Television Advertising Duty and the Equity Strike led to heavy financial losses and a subsequent reduction in transmitter rental for Grampian. But by the end of 1962, the station had succeeded in increasing audience in both Dundee and the region as a whole. The success in viewing figures were attributed to an increase in regional programming. </p><p>Whereas Grampian had previously restricted its output to news and current affairs beforehand, production controller James Buchan decided to <i>go for broke</i> and branch out to produce light entertainment and music shows (originally, at the rate of four programmes a week) - such programming would remain a staple of the station's local output for the next forty years or so. By 1963, no less than fifty Grampian shows had featured in the local Top Ten audience ratings. </p><p>Towards the end of the decade, the station's potential audience reached a million viewers and Grampian was employing just over 200 staff at their studios in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh. Prior to the 1968 contract round, smaller regional stations sought an <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate" title="Network affiliate">affiliation</a> with one of the four major ITV companies, who would provide the bulk of their programming.

The staff director in charge, Tony Bacon, was dismissed the next day. However, Tony was also a local shop steward for the ACTT union and following a meeting, all 65 members walked out at 5PM, which brought transmissions to a halt and claiming that the management hadn’t followed nationally agreed procedures for dismissals. As negotiations continued over the next week viewers in the region were left without an ITV service and, as some areas could not pick up any BBC transmissions, they were without a television service entirely. A solution was eventually reached when it was agreed that the record could show that Mr Bacon had resigned voluntarily and the service resumed on 18 September 1974 (10:30AM). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Technological_advances">Technological advances</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grampian_Television&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Technological advances"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Grampian was slower than most other ITV stations to begin colour broadcasting which, after the company invested £180,000 (equivalent to £3,200,000 in 2023)<sup id="cite_ref-inflation-UK_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-inflation-UK-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in new equipment, promptly started in September 1971—an occasion timed to mark their 10th anniversary on air.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The launch of the colour service led to a strike over Christmas 1971.

Grampian also developed its own outside broadcast unit, initially using studio equipment.

In 1967, they went unopposed by any other consortiums to win a further six-year contract from July 1968 - a contract expanded by a further eight years in 1974. </p><p>Six years later, Grampian won another eight-year franchise (later extended to ten years), effective of January 1982. The only change made to the license was the classification of the franchise as <i>North and North East Scotland</i>, as opposed to <i>North East Scotland</i> - a change which the station had already capitalized upon in January 1980 when <i>Grampian Today</i> was relaunched as <i><a href="/wiki/North_Tonight" title="North Tonight">North Tonight</a></i> as part of a major expansion for Grampian's news operation. </p><p>The Broadcasting Act of 1990 led to a significant change in the way ITV franchises were awarded - as opposed to the straightforward review process utilized by the outgoing <a href="/wiki/Independent_Broadcasting_Authority" title="Independent Broadcasting Authority">Independent Broadcasting Authority</a>, the new <i>light-touch</i> regulator, the <a href="/wiki/Independent_Television_Commission" title="Independent Television Commission">Independent Television Commission</a>, required that the successful applicant pass a <i>quality threshold</i> and business plan. </p><p>In the event, Grampian was outbid by two challengers; <i>Channel 3 Caledonia</i> and <i>North of Scotland Television</i> (the latter of which was ironically the name of the original Grampian Television consortium). Both competitors failed to pass the quality threshold, and Grampian won back the franchise by default with a bid of £720,000 per year. </p><p>After retaining its franchise, Grampian sought to expand its media business interests. In May 1994, the company won the new Central Scotland FM radio licence in partnership with <a href="/wiki/Border_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Border Television">Border Television</a> - the new station, <a href="/wiki/Scot_FM" title="Scot FM">Scot FM</a> (now <a href="/wiki/Heart_Scotland" title="Heart Scotland">Heart Scotland</a>), had an uneasy start as it struggled with ratings and programming.

Grampian's first on screen identification film, or ident for short, featured a black, white and grey image of four mountain peaks, which turn into the saltire, with the grey peak at the bottom, against the tune "<a href="/wiki/Scotland_the_Brave" title="Scotland the Brave">Scotland the Brave</a>". This was replaced in 1964 by another ident, showing the saltire zooming into the center of the screen, with the Grampian name appearing letter-by-letter towards the bottom of the screen; a music box-style rendition of "Scotland the Brave" played underneath. This ident lasted until 1971, when colour came to the region at the same time as the 10th anniversary of the station. The colour ident started with the four sections of the saltire (now coloured red, yellow, blue and white) merging to form a white diamond, from which the saltire emerges upon a light blue background; the Grampian name and the word "COLOUR" rotate into place beneath the saltire (noticeably done with some sort of mechanical model, as opposed to being part of the animation). This was accompanied by a harp version of the "Scotland the Brave" jingle. </p><p>In the early 1980s a new black background ident was introduced (placing a greater emphasis on the text, now including the word "TELEVISION", with a smaller saltire), along with a newer version of the "Scotland the Brave" jingle. </p><p>Grampian's first computer generated ident was introduced in January 1985 and featured various diamond and dot shapes flying around in space, changing colour against an electronic tune. As the ident progresses, the dots move closer, and the diamonds bend so that it becomes a three-dimensional saltire shape as the "Scotland the Brave" music begins to be more noticeable. The saltire logo then forms up as the box folds inside out and the dot shapes pull away. </p><p>However, this colorful and dynamic ident was only to last four years, as Grampian adopted the <a href="/wiki/History_of_ITV_television_idents#1980s_branding" title="History of ITV television idents">first ITV generic look</a> from September 1989 until October 1998 - the longest usage of the generic ident by any ITV company. As the majority of junctions featured in-vision announcements into programmes, the ident was rarely seen for most of the day. When the new ITV logo was about to be launched and after SMG had bought the channel, the ident was replaced by a saltire on blue background, tilted slightly, with the sections of the saltire bursting into place, accompanied by an edited version of the ITV generic music from 1989. </p><p>In-vision continuity was relied upon heavily by Grampian - from the early 1980s onwards, the station's duty announcers also presented short regional news bulletins, including the <i>North Headlines</i> at closedown, and the daily <i>Birthday Spot</i> for children. In-vision announcements were finally abandoned in the summer of 1998, before the closure of Grampian's Aberdeen presentation department that September.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During 1999, Grampian, like <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Television" title="Scottish Television">Scottish Television</a> refused to use the second generic ITV identity. The company decided instead to use a new branding package, based on a blue square with the words 'Grampian TV' in the bottom of the square. Launched on 28 February 2000, it featured various scenes of Scottish people and places up and down the country. Various scenes featured a lady horserider along a beach, a young lady and dog returning home, elderly <a href="/wiki/Tweed_(cloth)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tweed (cloth)">tweed</a> workers in the highlands, waves crashing below <a href="/wiki/Dunottar_Castle" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunottar Castle">Dunottar Castle</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Tea_dance" title="Tea dance">tea dance</a>, an oil rig in the <a href="/wiki/North_Sea" title="North Sea">North Sea</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Grampian_mountains" class="mw-redirect" title="Grampian mountains">Grampian mountains</a>, chefs in a restaurant kitchen and a waitress in a pub.

The <a href="/wiki/ITV1" title="ITV1">ITV1</a> logo was replaced with Grampian's logo, and additional idents made depicting Scottish and Grampian celebrities. However, this was not to last, as in 2006, the Grampian name was to be lost on screen in favour of <a href="/wiki/STV_(TV_network)" class="mw-redirect" title="STV (TV network)">STV</a>. The idents featured Scottish people passing around the logo, an elongated 'S', to other people in other scenes off screen until the 'S' is placed in the center of the screen. The upbeat music and dynamic filming gives the idents an energetic quality to the station. These idents were shared with <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Television" title="Scottish Television">Scottish</a>, as were all idents following the package as the two networks have ceased as separate entities. </p><p>The current ident set came into force in February 2009 and was an extension to the theme. A scene, similar to the last look, flips over to reveal another scene. This continues, with increasing pace and a wider perspective, until the STV logo flips into view against a blue background. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Logo_history">Logo
