Because they couldn't afford to pay their technicians for 24-hour broadcasting, plus their technicians union put a restriction on how much each of their members could work.
In the U.K. the *correct* title happens to be: "God Save The Queen".
Am I correct in assuming that when The U.S. broke off their ties from their Colony origins, they adapted "Let Freedom Ring" lyrics to "God Save The Queen"?
that can't be from june 1993. it must be between September 1995 and October 1997.
Why? because the announcer says "BBC2 carries on through the night the Learning Zone." Which launched in September 1995. So i'm afraid that guess was incorrect, kamilek.
