I once heard that in North Wales somewhere, someone took over the local Rediffusion network there and started to provide there own Analogue tv service, this went on through the 90's and I think it closed not long ago
I was not aware of any Rediffusion network in North Wales, the only Rediffusion networks in Wales North of Merthyr were the odd small VHF or UHF networks. I believe that a mixture of these were not build by Rediffusion but acquired by them.

The furthest I ever traveled North in Wales to work on headends was Brecon, there was also a network in the Talgarth area that I believe closed in the early 90s. (Although I also seem to remember a network being mentioned in Hay on Wye)

I never heard of any in Mid or North Wales when I was working for them.
