HOW2: Promo for 'This Morning'

[@BluetheFortune2006]

That's the same day at when another franchise auction took place... such an nightmare for some ITV regions like Thames, TSW and of course TVS.

The day the Tories wrecked ITV.

Love that it's a Promo for GRANADA This Morning rather than just this morning, a reminder that TVS lost out in winning that broadcast slot on the ITV Network

[@alexelliottwelch]

Ooh, 16 October 1991? That date seems awfully familiar…

[@2001JamesTV]

Not a good date in TVS's history...

[@pipoo1]

​@@2001JamesTV not a good day in the history of ITV full stop. It was never the same after this day.

[@2001JamesTV]

@@pipoo1 Oh yes, definitely! The 1991 franchise round was a mess. There's certainly no way Thames or TV-am would have lost under a properly conducted franchise round, rather than one based around who can fork out the most money.

[@2001JamesTV]

Would be good to see series 1 of How 2 on Prime alongside series 2-5 that are already there, any reason why series 1 isn't there? Caught up in TVS rights issues they were able to sort for 2 and 3 but couldn't for 1? And they should work to get it (and other archive shows they have) on there at 50fps as well... the major streamers (apart from the BBC iPlayer) being stuck at 25/30fps at this point is ridiculous.

[@frankhovis]

- they were made in 25fps.

[@2001JamesTV]

@@frankhovis 50i with the interlacing. You need to encode it as 50fps to show it properly because streaming is progressive.

[@frankhovis]

"Just the one" - whatever is he referring too?
