Anyone know what happened to Westcountry TV just now? I was watching Channel TV via the Other Channels menu on Sky and flicked over to Westcountry briefly and got a white on blue "We apologise for the break in programming" caption (similar to the old transmitter captions)... Does anyone know what went wrong? It must've been a bit of a lengthy break as by the time they came back they were running late, so they only had time to play about 20 seconds of the "Birthday People" slot (before any birthdays were read out!) and then it crashed into CITV.

Was it the same on analogue ITV Westcountry?

Meridian had a simular fault at the end of the Meridian News, the still of the closing titles remained on screen for ages then we got about 20 seconds worth of 'Just A Minute', probably a problem with the playout back at LNN.

Surely not Just a Minute as in the ITV Schools on C4 interval music?

Nope Razz Actually it might be called Just A Moment. Either way it's not on for long Wink
