TJC Beauty was like this earlier this morning.

It first returned as alooped promo showing some clips of previous broadcasts (presumably they somehow escaped the fire) and then were back live from a makeshift location which I remember was much speculated to be a portacabin in the car park.
They did very well getting back on air and in business after such an event.

As I recall from colleagues who were around during the fire, one of them quickly grabbed as many tapes as they could and ran out of the building with them. I think some also survived the fire.
I may not have this exactly right, but I recall them saying that for a period they were running tapes up and down the A1 to get content on air from one of NTL's (now Arqiva) facilities.

If someone at Ideal World or the administrator put out a 'Best of Peter Simon' compilation instead of the static logo, would they have remained on the EPG and still have the EPG slot as an asset?
In fact, did they retain ownership of the EPG slot even after Sky took it down?

you are correct - we courier IMX tapes for a few weeks until the old OB truck arrived in the car park to take over (before portacabin city was built).
