=== Background ===
=== Background ===
Yorkshire Television is the ITV contractor for Yorkshire, England, and the surrounding areas. It was formed from a 'shotgun marriage' between two applicant groups in the 1967 franchise round, Telefusion Yorkshire Ltd and Yorkshire Independent Television, the former having large financial backing (supported by the Blackpool-based Telefusion television rental chain) and the latter having the better plans (but fewer resources). It went on air on July 29, 1968 from purpose-built colour studios in Leeds, the first of their kind in Europe. Following the franchise changes and the bidding in 1992, they merged with Tyne Tees to create Yorkshire Tyne Tees Television in June of that year, only to be bought out by Granada Group in 1997. By 2002, they met the same fate as every franchise owned by them by being turned into the region in-name-only. In March 2009, ITV announced that the Leeds studios of Yorkshire Television were to be closed, but later changed their minds and left it open.
