This was the first offering from TSW an hour long programme to show what they had to offer the viewers of the south west after the demise of Westward TV.
Hosted by Lennie Bennett who I have to say, was thankfully nothing to do with the south west, was one of the worst programmes ever to come out of TSW studio 1.
Recorded during Westwards final months on air for TX when TSW officially took over the franchise on 1st Jan 1981. TSW had acquired the Westward Derry's Cross studios and Westward TV archive in August 1980 when the board of westward sold the whole lot to TSW including the remaining Westward franchise period. SO on a technicality TSW really started 4 months earlier! But they decided to keep the Westward name to give them time to plan there own launch on 1st Jan 1981.
The Opening Show was meant to showcase what TSW had to offer; in fact it made the pubic want Westward back mainly due to the host's lacklustre performance. But things would soon change in TSW's favour when the first high quality local programmes reached our screens. © SWFTA (01752) 202650 / info@swfta.org.uk
