ok, I'm going back to basics here so keep with me:
I was under the impression that back in the day, if you were in the anglia region watching a programme made by granada (for example), that programme was actually being played out by granada, fed to your own local station in some way?
so, how did this work? did each region have a feed to each other region or was there just a single switchable feed ?
if so how/where was this switched and how responsive was it to technical failures and last minute schedule changes?
presumably, if one region was responsible for playing out a programme for the entire network, there was another region on standby in case of failure?
did all regions have the ability to playout to network or were some of the smaller companies (such as border and channel) helped out by one the nearer, larger itv regions?
