@GLFVIDEO It is sad how things never last forever.

The only time when people shouldn't have had to worry was on Christmas Day when there were (apart from continuity announcers, announcements and commercial breaks) no regional variations of programmes on ITV.
cwilliams1976 3 months ago
@GLFVIDEO On Christmas Day normally, there would not be any regional variations on ITV at all apart from the commercial breaks and the continuity announcers.
cwilliams1976 3 months ago
@ingravegreen In Southern's case, the only problem was its management structure was making the station too vulnerable, and the IBA were unlikely to tolerate this and may view this as unfashionable in the 1980s, otherwise their programming offering was very good. Lady Plowden was right to say that Southern had indeed been "a victim of the system".

@GLFVIDEO by 'era' i guess i was referring to the good old days which we both remember owing to that 'regional feel'. on paper it makes sense to condense everything into one during the current economic climate,so why pay chiles and the irish bird £6m for a programme nobody watches? quality will always suffer.
bbc is effectively more regional nowadays.same thing with saga radio and ILR taken over by smooth and heart and condensed into one operation and no longer regional except for news & travel

@GLFVIDEO not quite that far back! 1963 in fact, but old enough to remember when regional soccer highlights weredropped in 1983 in favour of networked highlights,yet 2 years earlier atv were forced to rebrand as central for (wrongly)not being considered regional enough! the warning signs stretch back to then

@chrissy17169
Yes I was born in 1954. You are certainly correct, there is no discernable difference now. ITV is ITV, no need to worry about Regional variations they say.. Shame really, as it was the Regional aspect that really opened the way for them to start broadcasting back in the 1950's, look at ITV now, disgraceful.

@GLFVIDEO we must be from the same era couldn't agree more. from the old atv midland region but used to spend school hols with aunt at southend on sea being an overlap area she could get anglia/southern/lwt/thames. you wouldn't notice the difference now
