When YTV fade out the Central trailer and put up their Viewpoint 93 slide, you can faintly hear the trail continue followed by a Central jingle (a “coming next” type of announcement, I expect). I assume Central’s equipment suddenly cut from Viewpoint to the trail and this all went out on their network feed, including the ident or whatever that followed. At this stage Tyne Tees were still working with a dirty/very soiled feed from YTV, and weren’t ready to opt out, hence YTV’s impromptu coming next announcement went out to the North East (not for the first or last time by any means during the 1993 transition period). It’s not clear if TTT had an announcer on duty as they go back to a YTV apology after the ads and play out a clean ident into the darts.
