That's true enough, we watched Granada in North Wales and it could have been picked up right up the coast - especially before 1997 when the Wrexham-Rhos transmitter only broadcast BBC1 Wales and S4C - but I think Rhyl would have been at the absolute limit of their coverage area, and you would think that there'd been enough happening in actual official Granadaland to get in the titles.
Great Orme Head is the practical limit of Winter Hill reception, further west you're into anorak/enthusiast territory, but you can receive it all the way to Anglesey
I've stayed in hotels in Llandudno a couple of times, in both cases Ch 1-4 were from Winter Hill.
You hear just as many Scouse and Manc accents all along that coast, as you do Welsh.
I always understood that parts of North Wales were classed as being in the Granada region, though, or at least an overlap area. I don't see it as a problem as there has historically been quite a strong connection between North Wales and places like Chester, Wirral and Liverpool. I certainly recall news stories from places like Rhyl and other parts of North Wales being featured quite prominently in Granada Reports over the years. They will certainly have covered the Prescott punch in Granada Reports that day, so that probably explains why it featured in the titles.
