A great choice of viewing on independent television.. Channel 4 hasn't started yet and isshowing a testcard and 4-Tel in vision. Thames is on strike and just showing it's logo and music.

And Thames wouldn't have made it on air until around 1.30pm - management were approaching the end of their first week putting out a makeshift service.
LWT took over at its normal time that evening (just the small matter of another 15 minutes for The Six O'Clock Show to fill) and TV-am wasn't affected either way.
