London ITA Franchise Changes

In the 1967 franchise round , the ITA decided that the contractors serving London
would be changed. A new company London Weekend Television would operate
from 7 pm Fridays until close of programmes on Sunday,
and Thames Television (the result of an ITA suggested merger of Rediffusion and ABC)
would broadcast from start of programmes, Monday to 7 pm Friday.

ATV London's last weekend was 27th/28th July 1968.
Rediffusion's last day was Monday 29th July 1968
(though programmes didn't finish until 00:26 on Tuesday 30th).
