Emley Moor didn't transmit Tyne Tees did it?

No, but it was the regional monitoring and ops centre for the YTV, TTTV, Granada,and Central East regions during the 80s. (Today it's the national centre)

May he RIP, and he will be missed, still it's good to see that ITV Tyne Tees has acknowledged him
