Networked ITV - 1990s and before...

Yes, that makes sense, and it appears they did do a bulk re-editing exercise of the schools programmes sometime in 1984, probably for the reason you mention - that the programmes were likely to be repeated and repeated. They even updated early Central stuff too with the later (ie 1983) ident and endcap.

The question remains, however, why did they add (live) Central branding onto non-schools programmes, but continue to use ATV branding on schools programmes? Central handled all schools continuity and all programmes were networked via them, so that would have facilitated things.

I don't remember seeing that go out, but I do remember the following week because before that episode they did a quick thirty second compilation of the second half telling you who'd won what, I vividly remember that the answer to the final was "News At Ten". Funny the things, eh?

When we're talking about Networked ITV, a poignant question here. When Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, I know that there were numerous news reports on BBC and STV (Sky news was not around then), and I do recall longer regional bulletins on both BBC Scotland and STV.

But, what did Border do? I ask this is Lockerbie is, to this day, not actually in STV territory. In addition, did Border carry STV news reports, and vice versa? And did ITN use any reports made by Border TV and/or STV?

During the late film, Magnum Force, emergency contact numbers were flashed up on the screen at regular intervals, and at the start of every ad break, ITN had a newsflash. I can't recall there ever being any STV opt outs for their own reports, so what did Border do?

So if Tyne Tees' transmission moved to Leeds over the 1993 New Year, did viewer's in the region see the aqually disruption on the strike of Big Ben that London & South West viewers saw, as the transmitters were switched to different playout suites?

I can't see any need for it to have been done at midnight?

Also nightshift was coming from Yorkshire since October 1992,

TTTV's transmission didn't move to Leeds until September; from January to September the actual transmission was ultimately still done by Tyne Tees, but with most presentation done from Leeds with a single TC and announcer at Newcastle providing the rest.

The actual switchover took place at 9.25am on Saturday 4th September.

AFAIK, as soon the news broke, Border sent reporters and a film crew up to Lockerbie to cover the story - it was their footage which featured on the ITN news reports.

Wasn't Kay adams on the itn news?

What the heck does anyone know anything about this extended ident from HTV?

I have found out this special was taped in the UK, so a new street set was built, which is different from the US set.
You have guesses its was at ATV Studios, ( Elstree )

IT DID go out in the on itv: Wednesday, July 10, 1974 at 8pm Networked. and the following week Julie and Dick in convert Gardens 17th July. You would have thought ATV would have broadcast SS well before 1978?

Is it a mock? Looks very 'clean' to have been dubbed from film or 'off-air'.
