A year-by-year guide of the major events that have shaped the history of TVS from the very begining to the present day.

On 16 October 1991, George Russell, Chair of the Independent Television Commission, informed TVS that they had awarded the south and southeast contract to Meridian Broadcasting, even though their bid was £20 million lower than the TVS bid.

TVS drama shaped up in the form of ‘Cat’s Eyes’, and successful adaptations of Ruth Rendell’s ‘Inspector Wexford’ murder mysteries, starring George Baker in the title role.
