Looking at http://www.tvradiobits.co.uk/, they have listings pages for various Radio Times of the past.
What has puzzled me is that London South East didn't appear to get a full news service until the mid 80's.
They already had an evening prog of some description already (London Plus etc), but listings for the odd less than 5 mins bullys done by the other regions said 'except London' !(I certainly remember Midlands Today doing bullys at around 4 pm, when I came home from school, complete with the MT announcer trailing the kids progs before reading the news)
I remember reading, on Saturdays, that other regions got a sport bully(as it was at the time), but London South East got a cartoon(Tom & Jerry ?) instead.
Did nothing major happen during the day/weekends in London?
What did they get, while everyone else was doing news(if everyone was doing news at that point!)
(I also seem to remember a cock up in the Midlands(late 70's/early 80's), where they did a continuity anno as normal into the 4pm bulletin, but could only get vision from the studio, with music on the audio.
They kept returning to the globe with an apology, then returning to the same problem with the audio, but, I could be wrong here, the same guy was doing OOV continuity & in vision news.
In other words, you could hear him on the globe, but not when it swopped to the news studio !
Does my memory cheat, or did something similar happen ?)
