From September 1993 until the late 90s, Emmerdale received an early afternoon repeat (in a slot shared with Coronation Street repeats on the other days) - this was sometime between 12.55 and 3.20 depending on the region.
These 1990 episodes wouldn’t have been repeated until Granada Plus repeated them in the 00s though. I wondered if that episode was from this repeat run, but it’s been confirmed otherwise. Interesting that TVS used unbranded slides during breakdowns for the benefit of Channel TV - I assume Channel may have used their own slides and announcers during some breakdowns, but if they weren’t quick enough, the generic apology went out.
TVS had an unbranded clock too. This was routinely used at 05:59:50 into TVam, and was voiced as ‘ITV for South and South East England and the Channel Islands’. Saved an early shift for someone in St Helier!
When I visited the CIs in the 90s, CTV did seem to manage on most 'national' breaks to blank out the Meridian break bumper !
I know Coronation Street often had daytime repeats during the 90s and early 00s, I don't recall Emmerdale ever having any though.
