Yes, I saw the wikipedia page afterwards, looks as though I was incorrect on the powerpoint line. It was how jobfinder used to work and I'd been told previously that nightscreen was set up on the same basis.

Re: regional minutage, that is the reason for the music being different in each region. Officially, each region's nightscreen is acquired individually and music sourced accordingly.


Yet only networked programmes are featured and the legend 'Times may vary according to your region' is shown!

Anyone know when Nightscreen was 'upgraded' from Teletext to something resembling Powerpoint? Seems to have happened at some point between July 1998 and November 1999.

It certainly was the case that Granada regions had different music to Carlton regions, or something like that with at least 2 different soundtracks, but whether it was different in every region, I'm not sure.
