Poor TV AM, on death row after they lost their franchise in October 1991, however they still has 14 months to continue to air until they got the official axe on January 1st 1993. By the 1992 election, TV AM had closed their in house news gathering team, contracted the rest of their news out to Sky News, and then suddenly noticed they had to do election coverage, which they did with the least amount of money they could spend on.
