Associated-Rediffusion

, later Rediffusion London, was the British ITV franchise holder for London and parts of the surrounding counties, on weekdays between September 22nd 1955 and July 29th 1968. It was the first ITA franchisee to go on air, and one of the "Big Four" companies that between them produced the majority of ITV networked programmes during this period. Rediffusion lost its franchise in 1968, but merged with another franchisee to form Thames Television, which continued to hold the London weekday franchise for another 24 years.
Rediffusion produced Five O'Clock Club and Ready Steady Go!, programmes Sandie Shaw appeared on.
