Whatever happened to the giant letter "Y" which used to stand over the entrance to Yorkshire TV on Kirkstall Road?

There has been a subtle rebranding of this organisation recently, I wonder if its because of that? The signs out side no longer say 'Yorkshire Television' or even 'YTV' but ' ITV Yorkshire'.

If you look at who produces Countdown or Emmerdale it says Granada Yorkshire.

I know they were taken over by Granada a few years ago I assumethat's when the sign was taken down.It was their own independant logo and I only noticed its absence last weekend.
