Was it so they could have Look North, Leeds

The Independant from WH was Granada M to F
and EM was..?.. M to F. ( not sure if called Yorkshire in the early days,
as it covered other counties.)

Charles has answered that bit in his post.

Also remember that because ITV were using Band III, they were more or
less forced to have separate transmitters each side of the Pennines.
Band III from Holme Moss, or nearby, wouldn't have reached the coastal
areas too well. Therefore in 1968 is was easy to split the 'North'
ITV region in two, no extra transmitters were needed. The problem was
even more acute with UHF, so that's why Winter Hill and Emley were
selected, rather than Holme Moss.
