TV-am had a facility in Knutsford handling macro-regional ad playout, that's not too far from Altringham, could the regional studio have been at the same place?

I thought TVam handled all the regional ads from Camden? Or was that just assembly of the tapes ready for playout?

Either way it was something that was pretty quickly ditched in the name of cost saving.

I can't find it now but there was an account of all this from a technician/engineer who was there from almost the start to the infamous lockout...
