Abstract
The new Yorkshire seven-day contract area was a region to the east of the Pennines previously served by Granada on weekdays and ABC Television at the weekend. At the start of the contract period in 1968 the newly formed Yorkshire Television (YTV) was therefore a fifth network company where previously there had been four.1 In some quarters it was regarded as a fifth wheel on the ITV coach.
