It was sad when Southern lost the franchise. The channel had such a homely feel, and the presenters like Jack Hargreaves and Fred Dinenage were like old friends. On the night of the hand over to TVS it was New Years Eve and I was out celebrating. My sisters were in and watched as the presenters appeared just before midnight to say goodbye. There was not a dry eye in the house. The new channel TV South tried to move with the times and had a much more dynamic feel, but it just wasn't the same.
I can fully sympathise. I felt a mixture of excitement and sadness when TWW lost its franchise and handed over - eventually - to Harlech. (Yes - I AM that old!) Strangely, I don't remember the bit where the ITA ran an interim service after TWW ended before Harlecj began.
In Italy 🇮🇹 until 1977 the colour broadcasts from abroad were available only in the border areas: from 🇫🇷 in Aosta Valley, Piedmont and West Liguria; from 🇨🇭 in Lombardy; from 🇦🇹 in Alto Adige/Südtirol and from Yugoslavia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

@@andrewwint3052 Thanks for clarifying. I did a lot of additional research and Wikipedia is sometimes contradictory on dates. The Wikipedia page entitled "Timeline of independent radio in the United Kingdom" quotes 15 July 1990 as the split date but the main "Radio Forth" Wikipedia entry (sidebar) specifically states 6 February 1990; this latter date is borne out by other articles I found so I decided to opt for that as the most likely correct date.

@@THEACTUALLDL123 I am afraid I can't help here either - it was the theme tune used by Invicta Radio but I have not been able to identify the name of the artist or composition.
I thought long and hard about UTV Ireland and dventually came to the decision that - as UTV Ireland was considered to be a sister station to UTV's Northern Ireland service broadcasting to the Republic - it fell outside the scope of this particular video which focused on the UK only.
I'm only 26 and have lived in the Yorkshire region all my life. However at my house, we could get both Yorkshire (from Emley Moor) and Tyne Tees (from Bilsdale). Yorkshire Television made sone great programmes for ITV and Channel 4 , from soaps (such as Emmerdale) to game shows (such as Countdown) to dramas (such as A Touch of Frost and Heartbeat) to children's programmes (such as Jungle Run - funnily enough the hosts of that show were all ex-CBBC presenters - and My Parents are Aliens)
When I was a kid in South West Wales, we could get both HTV and Westward TV; I used to know MUCH more about what was happening in Devon and Cornwall than in Wales!

Though you aren’t really able to cover land-based pirate stations, I think you might be able to do a timeline of the Irish pirate radio closedowns of 1988, with all the stations that closed, the Broadcasting and Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1988 becoming law, and the few stations that stayed on after the act became law.
I'll give it some thought but - as I have said elsewhere - my main area of interest is the UK as putting the videos together really does bring back a LOT of personal memories for me.
