[Si-Co]

The Five companies were to bid for the national contract:


* TVS: with a show called Home Today, hosted by Andy Craig and Fern Britton.
* Thames Television
* Yorkshire Television
* Tyne Tees Television
* Granada Television offered a show called This Morning

However not much is know about YTV or TT offering. London were like give it to Granada because of that View.

It would have been interesting if a smaller station like TTT had ended up producing a long-running show similar to This Morning. If it was still running in the 2000s, the City Road studios may have survived longer. More likely, after takeover by YTV or GMG, the programme would have been cancelled or moved to Leeds or Manchester, and if it still existed today it would be very different to the original Newcastle-produced show.
