One of Thames News' opts into TV-am that morning is also on TV Ark - the seamless opting probably suggests the local TX crews at each ITV station were in place.
Of course, that year, some regions but not all - Anglia, for instance - stayed on air and filled the gap between ITN and TV-am with Bullitt.
There were also regional opts into TV-am in 1987 - xx:35 past the hour, followed by opts during ITN's programme at 9.35am, 11.20am, 12.20pm and 1.20pm. Think there might have been similar opts in 1992, but haven't been able to establish.
