Grampian (Irish and British Alliance)

Grampian Television is a Scottish public broadcaster that airs programs by Grampian Inc. or anyone who distributes a show onto Grampian's network. They started their days being the North Scottish broadcaster for the IBA (ITV), however they left in 1978 to become a general Scottish broadcaster and Scottish program distributor.

History
Grampian was first forming in 1960 as a broadcaster for North Scotland. Originally, they were called North of Scotland TV, but this was changed to Grampian for simplicity. They weren't too well-known yet, as nothing very interesting had happened to them. Suddenly, in 1978, IBA broadcasters broadcasted a certain special event going on over in the Soviet Union and United States, and they were saying that the United States had nuked Moscow to attempt to defeat them, and that they were in the wrong for doing so. Grampian saw this, and honestly thought that the United States wasn't directly behind the attack, but was partially responsible for it. Grampian turned out to be horrifically right, but the rest of the IBA would not believe Grampian. So what did Grampian do? Leave, and come to PBS, who thought pretty much the same thing, and then gather more and more evidence until Grampian could prove them right. The rest of the IBA did eventually belive Grampian, but for a different reason.
