Yes there was a shift changeover between TC's on Fridays.

I can't recall too well what happened during GMTV's time on air. I have a feeling LNN staffed the control room during GMTV's time on air. When you think about it there was no need for a nominated contractor role as there was no network to co-ordinate. The TC had direct talkback to the GMTV production gallery (to count out of breaks etc) and so it would have been easy to co-ordinate last minute changes to the schedule etc. GMTV senior programme editorial management were always present when they were on air so editorially it would have been easy enough.

To answer another previous question LNN produced at least 3 advert macro regions during GMTV's on-air time, I think it might have ended up as 4.

To reply to my own reply (!) I am reminded by an ex-colleague that LNN engineering manned the transmission area during GMTV's on air time and TC's and announcers were not present, programme timings etc came from the GMTV gallery. In the end there were 6 macro regions.
