Went to some type of test card and repeated;

"This is line KR 275" or something.

Something about Southern bla bla bla?

In the middle of Grubs Up.

Sounds like the LNN testcard, which would suggest the feed went down or ITV Leeds didn't opt out at the correct time (such as for ads).

KRS is the ID given to the BT lines out of ITV on the South Bank - KRS = Kings Reach Studios (the bit of the river there is called Kings Reach). It would have said 'Southern Transmission Centre' which is what ITV's playout facility, owned by Technicolour, is called

That's your standard "Leeds can't organise a p*ss up in a brewery" striking again.

The first 3+ months of every station joining the northern transmission unit has been the same unmitigated farce. No doubt it will be repeated again when STV is finally bought up Laughing

The picture would have been a slightly more modern version of this:-

The captions I've sen on lines from the south bank recently have all been upgraded with 'Technicolour' branding. They've now taken over the 'Southern Transmission Centre'

No, of course not.

Nor did they make a mess of moving over Granada and Border Laughing

ITV couldn't organise a fire at the end of a match
