One on TV Whirl, in the ITV North Night time section, was when Tyne tees, along with a few others, took the Granada Night time service, in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Granada handled playout and continuity, with the regions doing their own ad breaks. If the region concerned had no ads to show, they took the follows shortly slide and music, like the early days of Channel 4. One occasion, an error at Granada during the final break, saw them put up the programmes for that night, instead of the follows shortly slide. In other words, the programmes that had been on that night!
