@chrispearce6024 absolutely agree with you. We had proper local news back then & delivered using very bulky technology at the time. No ENG, no satellite trucks, no Internet & yet the news was miles better
Day by Day from the Southampton studios and Scene South East from the Dover studios, broadcasting from the Chillerton Down and Dover transmitters respectively. Not sure which version the Newhaven relay transmitter carried when it opened in 1970.
As some who remembers Regional I.T.V. even though Southern was owned by D.C. Comics and the publishers of The People*s Friend and therefore Scottish based. Southern Television sweated blood for it*s region. I wish we could get some form of Regional I.T.V. back.
Very interesting- when ITV was ITv
