Edit: TV Ark quite helpfully points in the right direction, it was a corporate package for a group of affiliates introduced in 1996 that somehow Granada ended up with:

Yeah.... nearly the graphics package was created specifically for the Hearst TV group. So you were nearly there. It wasnt an "off-the-shelf" package. So the graphics that was used on Granada was clearly created by someone at Granada or hired by Granada. As its you clearly see the Granada package isnt quite there. Nearly though. I also though it was interesting they specifically tried to emulate the WCVB Boston 5 logo with the NW arrow logo. That was a nice touch. The theme music wasnt quite there. But it was a nice try. I guess licensing IMAGE NEWS from Gari was a bit too expensive for Grenada.
