Either way it was something that was pretty quickly ditched in the name of cost saving.

I can't find it now but there was an account of all this from a technician/engineer who was there from almost the start to the infamous lockout...

This one?

Which led to https://www.dgsys.co.uk/btmicrowave/sites/293.php  which talks about Knutsford and suggests the bulk of the ad operation for TV-am was done from London and Knutsford was used to "insert" some other stuff as needs be.

But I don't think that's quite what you're referring to, but its related.
Very interesting stuff, thank you for sharing.

No, what I was thinking of was some old Geocities-style webpages where a chap detailed his entire personal experience from joining TVam when they were on the verge of bankruptcy to eventually being locked out.
