It begs this question, when it came to 09:25, why did they need an interval, why couldn't the regional ITV companies try to sell the airtime before 09:28? Were they allowed to?
ITV Schools on Channel Four / Timelines - 1992 - YouTube
Any TV-am involvement in Channel 4 breakfast transmission is a new one on me. Is that documented somewhere (other than in the comments on that YT clip)?
I see the YT comments also suggest switching going on during that unusually lengthy period of black after the first ITV Schools filler piece. The slight picture roll as the animation is fading out (i.e., before it even gets to full black) looks like a videotape issue. If you look carefully, the vision is glitching very slightly in the lead-up to that.
