* The franchise for West and North Wales was awarded to the Wales Television Association, Teledu Cymru, transmitting as WWN, Wales ( West and North ) Television.

When WWN went on the air on 14 September 1962, the ITV Network was completed.

Wales ( West and North ) Television, known on screen as Teledu Cymru and often abbreviated to WWN, was the Welsh " Independent Television " ( commercial television ) contractor awarded the franchise area serving ' North and West Wales ', from 1962-68 ( franchise awarded 6 June 1961 ).

These punitive regulations were accepted, and the contract was awarded in 1961 to Wales Television Limited, which was later changed to Wales ( West and North ) Television Limited, following objections from TWW who felt that the original name was intruding on their area, though WWN dropped the parenthesis at every possible opportunity.

WWN was to use three VHF transmitters, at Preseli ( covering the south west ), Arfon ( north west ) and Moel-y-Parc in the north east.

WWN's studio complex was located in Western Avenue, Cardiff, despite the fact that this area was not served by WWN but by their rivals TWW.

Following the acquisition of WWN by TWW, the Western Avenue base was closed, with all operations moved to TWW's Pontcanna base, also in Cardiff.

In January 1964, TWW was required to take over the franchise of its neighbour, Teledu Cymru — Wales ( West and North ) ( WWN ) when that company became the only ITV company to ever fail financially.

The former WWN area was still run as a separate area under the banner TWW-Teledu Cymru.

Following the acquisition of WWN, their Teledu Cymru branding was utilised by TWW for the North and West Wales service.

This problem was eventually overcome, and Channel Television went on the air on September 1, 1962-the penultimate ITV franchise to begin broadcasting ( followed by WWN ), and serving the smallest population: only about 150, 000 people in 54, 000 households.

The WWN was launched in 1979 by publisher Generoso Pope, Jr. as a means to continue using the black and white press that the higher-profile tabloid, The National Enquirer, had been printed on, when the sister publication switched to color printing.

WWN was also in the forefront of informing the public about alien abductions, the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and time travel.

WWN once carried a story about inhabitants of the planet Mercury who had proposed to establish a colony in San Francisco — presumably they sought a more temperate climate, where lead was generally a solid.

WWN was also the first to speak of a pair of sandals worn by Jesus.

In 2002 WWN reported that Saddam Hussein was hiding in his nuclear submarine, called the " Saddam-tilus ", in Lake Michigan.

During September 1963 the ITA invited new applications for franchises to operate from July 1964 for three years or until the arrival of ITV2, whichever came first ( in the event, " ITV2 ", the second commercial channel, did not begin until 1982, under the guise of Channel 4 ), but in fact no changes were made to any franchise holders at that time, except for confirming the merger of the South Wales and the West franchise held by TWW and the Wales West and North franchise held by WWN following the financial collapse of WWN.

There are two types of WWNs on a HBA ; a node WWN ( WWNN ), which is shared by all ports on a host bus adapter, and a port WWN ( WWPN ), which is unique to each port.

A WWN may be employed in a variety of roles, such as a serial number or for addressability ; for example, in Fibre Channel networks, a WWN may be used as a WWNN ( World Wide Node Name ) to identify a switch, or a WWPN ( World Wide Port Name ) to identify an individual port on a switch.

The region's ITV franchisees, Granada Television ( weekdays only until 1968 ) and ABC Television ( Associated British Corporation ) weekends ( launched in 1956 ), were on air much earlier than North Wales ' franchisee, WWN ( Teledu Cymru ) which launched in 1962 ( subsequently HTV Wales ) giving viewers more choice than they would with the Welsh transmissions.

When the Preseli transmitter came online on 14 September 1962, so did WWN.

However, the delay in introducing the transmitters at Arfon and Moel-y-Parc, until later in 1963, destroyed the morale and the finances of WWN.

When the company acquired WWN, they ran the station under its old name, essentially adding another sub region to their ownership, as in addition to operating these two, they also operated a region serving North and West Wales under the Teledu Cymru name.

In the 1980s, the circulation of WWN peaked at 1. 2 million per issue.

WWN ceased its print publication in 2007.
