LWT News - 1988. Screen News.

LWT News - 1992 - Chrysalis Television.

That is correct.

And of course LWT did have a strong current affairs remit:

in January 1981 both Thames and LWT managed to convince the IBA not to have a joint 7 day news service, instead allowing LWT To hire in Thames. Both companies claimed there was not enough news at the weekends. Talks were on going and IBA allowed LWT To have 5 short bulletins reading stories from LBC.
