As far was pres was concerned, from January to September 1993 this comprised little more than an announcer and transmission controller. Lines had gone - the only feed into the station being from Leeds. Evidently someone was there to play the adverts, PIFs, CSAs and local programmes because I think these still originated at Newcastle until September - I may be wrong there. So in theory someone could stick a tape of Blockbusters in and “press play” but there was little support around if things didn’t go smoothly. As Steve said, most people with any technical know-how would have been busy working on the local news or the odd local programme still produced at City Road.
