Television Wales and the West (TWW, 1958-1968)

Television Wales and the West (TWW) was the British "Independent Television" (commercial television) contractor for the franchise area serving 'South Wales and West of England' 1956–1968 (franchise awarded October 26, 1956, started transmissions on January 14, 1958).

After losing their franchise to Harlech, TWW ended their service early in protest long before Harlech was ready to take over. This forced the Independent Television Authority to organise an emergency transitional service (Independent Television Service for Wales and the West) run by Harlech but using TWW's staff, leftover programming, and some assets.
