 PROFILE
With operations in television broadcasting and production, pay and digital TV, and television leasing, Granada (formerly Granada Compass) has the channels covered. The company owns six of the UK's Independent Television (ITV, a national network) stations, holding almost 15% of the UK's audience share. It produces some 6,000 hours of programming (Coronation Street, Heartbeat) for ITV, as well as other broadcasters. Granada's broadband division has stakes in pay TV channels and Internet ventures. It also owns half of digital terrestrial television service ONdigital, which is being combined with the ITV format as ITV Digital. In 2001 Granada Compass completed a demerger of its hospitality and media business, upon which Granada Media (of which it owned 80%) was absorbed into the new Granada plc.
