When i was 13 onwards I had terrible insomnia and used to end up watchimg this every time it was on.
UTV here in Northern Ireland had in vision announcers until 2016
@KaitainCPS OK. Graham Rogers was a Radio DJ 'Moonlighting' if you like on telly!. The other 'bloke' you refer to named Keith, was in fact a friend of mine. His name was Keith Butler - he too was a Radio DJ. Sadly Keith died at a very young age last year.
@GLFVIDEO Very sorry to hear about Keith Butler, he was the voice and sometimes face of the latter years of TVS, a unique talent. :(
Yay, it's Fred!
@GLFVIDEO I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not sure to be exact, but I believe a year or maybe two. It was only during the nighttime of course!
@KEITHMU Indeed he was. He was very short sighted, when he was reading he wrote the script in large handwriting and used a peculiar way of 'scanning' the sheets to read it!. He was a really nice chap, and his death was very sad news indeed.
@GLFVIDEO Oh, come now, you can't beat Graham Rogers, and his repeated trademark assertion that music track X, film Y etc. were "very, very good indeed". There was another bloke called Keith (don't recall the last name) who sometimes did that slot. I remember one time he launched into an Alan Partridge-style tirade about how "I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd should be banned. ("I think it should just be, y'know, wiped off the chart...")
@tokutom I do so agree with you. Sadly the broadcasters don't - it is shame though. GLF
Nighttime was the rubbishly-named rebadging of TVS's "Late Night Late", which was of course much better. Even though it was almost exactly the same thing.
Do you have any more clips of Meridain night idents? from even 1993 - 1998? Meridain did a night service from 1993 - 2000!!!
@KaitainCPS I saw this text after I had replied to your former message.
@KaitainCPS It was exactly the same thing. Both were, in my opinion "poor".
What is the music at the end of this video?
Oh wait...was it Keith Butler?
No I don't, sorry...
