Talk:Grampian Television

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this page not be called "Grampian TV", to accurately reflect the company's broadcast name?

No, the "grampian tv" from the SMG branding is a recent invention. It was always known, on- and off-screen, as "Grampian Television". Chris 19:38, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Just to avoid possible confusion, I've created a redirect from Grampian TV to Grampian Television (and the same for Scottish TV). Vclaw 21:02, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually as an ex Sound Supe at GTV the sepulchral "this is Brian from Sound" which struck fear and terror into links and presenters - worldwide - I can let you into a little secret..... the staff always called it "GrumpyTV" ... but it really wasn't.

[edit] History

The article is fine as far as it goes but it could benefit from a history section to cover the years before it was taken over and lost its identity. -- Derek Ross | Talk 19:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Fort William did used to receive Grampian from Mounteagle in the days when Band III television was transmitted from there. Grampian never had any coverage on the West coast so a piped system was installed by one of the local television dealers to feed part of Fort William . Some local politicians did once make some noise about feeding the area with Grampian after the move to 625 lines but they did not understand the technicalities. --jmb (talk) 01:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
