Did Meridian, Westcountry, Carlton and GMTV do secret on-air testing of their transmission infrastructure before officially launching at midnight 1st 1993?
Or was it all expected to work?
I know they would have rehearsed, and in GMTV’s case they showed footage of their pilots, but when it came to the big switch how could they be certain?
Also, was there a standby should one of the new franchisees launch not gone according to plan?
Mod note: Split out from the 'Media Amnesty' thread.
