Southern Television.- Dover & Chillerton Down Test Cards into a Southern Start Up circa mid 1960's R

In the days of the 405 line Black and White UK television service ITV in the South of England was provided by 'Southern Television' initially using two transmitters provided by the ITA at Dover on Ch10 and Chillerton Down from the Isle of Wight on Ch11. Some viewers in a relatively small overlap service area of East Sussex could receive signals from both these transmitters. This is a recreation of the minutes likely to have been viewed at some point in the mid 1960's prior to the station commencing broadcasting with the viewer in that overlap area having the ability to switch the Tv set between Dover and Chillerton Down. It was probable that a 3rd ITV service in those parts could also be received from the London area Croydon transmitter on Ch9. An additional 405 line transmitter at Newhaven was later added in August 1970 by the ITA allocated to the Southern Region.
