An independent television service that provided weekday services in London between 1955 and 1968. They are probably best known for producing the children's puppet SciFi show, Space Patrol.
Associated-Rediffusion launched the first independent television service in the UK, providing the weekday service for London between 1955 and 1968. They rebranded as Rediffusion London in 1964. After the 1967 franchise review, the Independent Television Authority (ITA) decided that there would be no place for Rediffusion in the new structure, but told them and ABC - who lost out to LWT for the weekend licence - to merge and form Thames Television to continue London's weekday service.
