And heres some info about ATV

For anyone with a soft spot for the long lost ITV service ATV (closed December 1981ish, heres a site with some excellent bits & pieces on it. Plus 3 video clips on YouTube taking a tour of the studios.
Sadly the old Broad Street studios are to be demolished in the near future
