 itv start of day music
In the early days, television sets took anything up to 20 minutes from switch-on to achieve electronic stability, and so TV stations would radiate some kind of Tuning Signal for about five minutes before the first programmes began.
Where there were lengthy periods of close-down (between daytime and evening, for example) the Tuning Signal would be radiated at the start of each programme block.
In the case of Border Television, they used three short pieces each day (to make up a five-minute sequence), and for their first few years of operation there were different music sequences for each day of the week - and two on Sundays!
