Kangaflora

My name is Kangaflora. I am a fan of ITV, and ITV Granada. On the Wikia Network, I'm also known as Oliverwestern (after Oliver the Little Western Engine off Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends). I believe in getting the truth out there, though this does occasionally get me into trouble. I may not be the brightest, but I'll try my damned hardest to do my best.

Here, you'll find the current on-air team for Granada Reports, along with a list of my favourite TV Presenters, and those I hate with a passion.
