On September 30, 1961, commercial television was switched on for the first time in the north of Scotland, broadcasting from Aberdeen. The swinging 1960s were a time of great social change – and that was reflected in Grampian’s pioneering approach. Based in a converted tram shed in the west end of the city, it perhaps took a while to win over a sceptical north-east audience. More here: https://bit.ly/3ojdjhV
