GRADE CONTROLLED COMPANY WINS MIDLANDS ITV FRANCHISE

The media company ITC (Incorporated Television Company) owned by Mr Lew Grade has been awarded the new 7-day franchise to provide programmes for the Midland region

ITC which has a large stake in the soon to be defunct ATV (Associated Television) will start broadcasting on the 29th of July 1968

Even though the company which will be known as ITC Television will be based in Birmingham they will still control and use the ABPC studios in Elstree, London...one of the new programmes for ITC is Doctor Who, a series mixing live action and model work...
