Hi! 33 year-old guy, new to Manchester looking for friends and relationship. Am an honest and genuine guy with no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get and I look for that in others too. Moving to Manchester in mid January. New year, new beginning.

A topic from Film, TV & Radio: Past Decades, 80s

This topic is perfect for nostalgia so here's some pure nostalgia.

Who remembers the ITV closedown routines? They stopped in 1987/88 due to the IBA forcing ITV companies to begin 24-hour broadcasting. The companies all closed down slightly differently but most had a weather forecast and some had a religious epliogue beforehand too.

The companies in my area were YTV and tyne Tees. YTV just ended with the clock and a fade to black with no national anthem whereas the Tyune Tees routine was always more interesting, not least becuase they ahd in-vision continuity.

The forcing of 24-hour broadcasting and the ending of the closedowns ended a bit of TV history if you ask me.
