ATV Associated Television was in the first wave of companies to be awarded ITV contracts when the station began in the mid - 1950s and was the only consortium to be awarded two franchises : London for the weekend broadcasts ( Associated Rediffusion had the weekday contract ) and weekday for the Midlands , centring on Birmingham where ABC Television had the weekend contract ( Incidentally , ABC Television was the one daytime ITV company who , due to their franchised scheduling times , never transmitted a single episode of " Coronation Street " ) . The station first went on the air in London on 24th September 1955 and in the Midlands on 17th February 1956 . Although Associated - Rediffusion carried " Coronation Street " from its first episode in London , ATV refused to broadcast the programme , along with Tyne Tees Television in the North East of England . The latter station quickly capitulated and joined in with broadcasts from Episode 14 ( 25th January 1961 ) onwards but ATV held out . There was a history of rancour between Lew Grade of ATV and Sidney Bernstein of Granada Television which may have contributed to this decision . The story was told that Grade only changed his mind when his wife made a trip to the North of England , saw the programme and advised her husband to transmit it . When ATV joined in with transmissions from Episode 25 ( 6th March 1961 ) , the ITV network changed transmission times and dates from 7 . 00pm on Wednesday and Friday to 7 . 30pm on Monday and Wednesday , an arrangement that remained until 1989 when a third episode was added on Fridays . ATV was also one of the first ITV stations to begin colour broadcasts on 15th November 1969 and transmitted " Coronation Street " in this medium from Episode 928 ( 17th November 1969 ) onwards . ATV was best known for its variety , light entertainment and filmed adventure programmes however it also set up the first serious " soap " rival to " Coronation Street " in the form of " Crossroads " which began in November 1964 and , although hated by the critics and many ITV executives , often surpassed the " Street " in the ratings in the 1970s ( Granada refused to show " Crossroads " until September 1972 ) . In the 1968 franchise reshuffle ATV lost the weekend London franchise to London Weekend Television and in the 1980 round was criticised for its Midlands ' regional programming resulting in it being reformed as Central Television which began broadcasting on 1st January 1982 .
