I’m going way back to the days when programmes were played out on VT, but I’ve seen a copy of Central paperwork that lists a number of programmes due for TX that require “spin timings”. Many but not all were imports and some appeared to be TKs as well as VTs.
I assume this isn’t as simple as how long the programme runs, as this would already be available at this stage - didn’t the ITFC or similar edit imports and purchased programmes for UK TX, and note the run-times then (on the countdown clocks in the case of VTs). So were Central carrying out a further check for their own benefit, and maybe for other regions who went on to show these programmes?
