WESTWARD
RECORDS
Westward Records was a one-off self-financed label, featuring
the founder and long-time chairman of Westward Television, businessman Peter
Cadbury. A single by him coupling a revamped version of Cole Porter's
'Let's Do It' with 'The Persian Kitten' seems to have been Westward's only
release. It dates from 1979. There are no catalogue numbers on the
labels, the number on the run-off is WT/PC-01. Westward Television was the
first ITV franchise holder for the South West of England. It held the franchise
from 29 April 1961 until 31 December 1981. After a difficult start, Westward
Television provided a popular, distinctive and highly regarded service to its
region, until public boardroom squabbles led to its franchise not being renewed
by the IBA. Westward launched the career of many broadcasters who became well
known nationally, won numerous awards for its programming, and heavily
influenced its successor, TSW. Distributed By Westward Records. Thanks to
