1991: ITV franchise auction | BBC News coverage | 16 October 1991

BBC News coverage of the ITV franchise auction, Wednesday 16th October 1991. For research towards a college project I recorded TV news coverage of the 'Channel 3' auction results, and the controversy. I edited down the bulletins from VHS to VHS, using a manual 'play and record' method. The editing results vary! Over thirty years later I found that tape. I had no idea I'd kept it. This is BBC coverage only - recordings of ITN, Thames News and Channel 4 News will follow. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:30 1100 News Summary 00:02:18 One O'Clock News 00:16:05 Six O'Clock News 00:28:00 Nine O'Clock News 00:39:44 Newsnight - Jeremy Paxman introduction 00:44:47 Newsnight - David Plowright, Granada 00:47:07 Newsnight - Phil Redmond interview 00:49:16 Newsnight - David Levy report 00:56:41 Newsnight - Michael Grade, Channel 4 01:00:24 Newsnight - tomorrow's newspapers 01:01:07 Links more videos #itv #thamestv #tvam #itvnetwork
