ITV schools on 4 25th anniversary

I did try to join but it says it's a closed group and that my request requires approval.

EDIT: Okay, looks like it was approved. That was quick.

This seems an appropriate time to post this - some ITV Schools memories.

If you can name all the programmes featured, Alan Rothwell will invite you back to his place to meet his talking cushion!

Proof that 'The Journey' was used as a interlude track from 9.25-9.28 in 1992! (Thanks to the Facebook owner for granting me permission to download this clip)

Two points:

Why did there not just keep the rotation going but just change the information panel?

I take it this is ealry 1992? as from Sept 1992 the Clock was changed to 40sec clock, for times was it not?

Here is clip of one of the other tracks used for Interlude.

The clip was from 27th October 1992.

When did the 40 sec clock appear?

I believe the 40-second clock was introduced in January 1993. When Channel 4 became independent in 1993, and responsible for its own advertising, an ad-break was introduced before schools programmes at about 9.25. Prior to this, the roto (with alternative music tracks) or a still of the schools clock had bridged the gap between 9.25 and 9.28.

The roto at 9.25 was accompanied by one of four tracks from Channel Four's own library (and on the one occasion referenced by Ben above, The Journey). This faded out just before 9.28 and the standard two-minute 'standby/intro' was then played.

From 9.28 until just before noon was 'schools time' - technically, you weren't watching Channel 4, you were watching ITV Schools which happened to be on Channel 4. Therefore, there was a deliberate attempt to make a distinction between Channel 4's programming and ITV Schools, with the (albeit short) period of black before and after ITV Schools broadcasting. This was probably why The Journey wasn't used (except for its rogue one-off appearance) over the caption at 9.25. 9.25-9.28 was Channel 4's airtime, 9.28-9.30 was ITV Schools airtime.

Out of the 4 tracks used during the interlude, this one is the hardest to find out what it's actually called.

This is a long shot of an idea, but, many mobile phones, espeiclaly Sony Erricson, have a facility where you can hold the phone up to speakers or a tannoy, and let it record a sample of the music, and it will then try to identify it for you. Worth a shot if anyone has a suitable phone.

Any mobile phone - dial 2580 - it's called Shazam.

Andit hasn't worked out what the track is called. Anyone else want to have a go with their mobile?

It very doubtful it will work since that tracks is most likely a library piece. I know one of the piece What are the other two pieces? that might give a clue as to where it might have come from.
