Ulster TV strike, either 1980s or 1990s
#8

From information I’ve been given from another source, it seems the dispute (or disruption to schedules) began at some point between Tuesday 14th and Friday 17th April (and was certainly underway on 17th, which was Good Friday). It wasn’t resolved until at least Saturday 25th, and possibly not until Monday 27th April, which was fully scheduled - though probably with a few programme changes as UTV would have to find a way to fit in missing episodes of networked serials, etc, as it does appear some of these were missed. From the schedule shared, it doesn’t look like Crossroads or News at Ten went out, so perhaps they weren’t taking anything from the network?

As a matter of interest, I wonder how they did catch up with Corrie, Emmerdale, Crossroads etc if these were missed? Possibly playing extra episodes in the same timeslot on “off-days”? It would be interesting to see the UTV schedules for the couple of weeks after the strike.

EDIT (again): Any idea why Grampian are playing Coronation Street at 7pm on a Thursday? This threw me as I thought we were looking at a Wednesday schedule!

THE NEXT POST FOLLOWS SHORTLY…
