Granada Reports

Someone may know the answer to this - was the Granada Blackburn base merely a regional news office, similar to the Lancaster office at Whitecross? Or did it serve some other purpose at all please?

Yes Blackburn was a regional news office just like Chester and Lancaster. It opened in 1991.

Occasionally they would do a slot going to all the regional offices in the Granada Region.

Thank you

Big anniversary for Lucy Meacock today. 30 years at Granada Reports.

A fantastic tribute.

Shame about the curt ending into the Weather sting, but that's live TV for you.

They really went to town, didn't they? Impressed.

Any chance the video can be uploaded again. Believe it or not I missed it and don’t have copy of the programme as deleted.

This would be amazing as I missed it too

I'm not very familiar with Lucy Meacock, but I gave that watch. Those tributes came across as genuine and very touching. Really nice.

Yeah Lucy is a legend and Granada Reports would not be the same without her!
