Yep - notice the frame roll as LWT Pres cuts to Thames News! AIUI Thames News was locked to Thames Pres and LWT didn't/couldn't/wouldn't (delete as applicable) run them through a synchroniser...

Why did this happen? Did LWT do Bank Holidays (except the news) or something?

Transdiffusion (Talk of Thames) posted:
...The split between the two was noticeable not only for its picture roll at 7pm but also for the failure of either announcer to acknowledge the other�s existence - although Thames would provide the epilogue on LWT at first, and in the 1980s would even provide LWT with a service called �Thames Weekend News� .

Check out this intro used by TVE in Spain for Telediario (1997):

Then compare it with this intro seen on TMC in Italy / Monaco (1999):

Is it just me, or is there some vague similarity between the two? Wink

(If you look closely, you can even see the word "Telediario" on the monitors!)

Romanian TV news from 1989, the last year of Ceau�escu's dictatorship:

The intro, the background music, and the overall look and feel make the newscast look like something from the 1960s!
