Probably better bringing this up here rather than the election thread but the casual viewer might well have assumed there was no Granada Reports at 6pm tonight - what with the slot being taken up by an election debate special (save for a weather forecast at the end)

A look at their website and their socials gave absolutely no mention to the debate at all - instead preferring to run heavily on the continuing story about Jay Slater, the Lancashire teenager missing in Tenerife (including an exclusive interview with his mother)

Granted, the latter may well feature on their late news tonight - but it does remind me of ITV Wales taking up their 6pm slot what basically amounted to an anniversary documentary about the Miners Strike on what was a big news day (Covid inquiry etc.)

All in all - and with a lack of available timeslots but no end of social / online space available, a baffling way of doing things at Granada.
