'This Is HTV Wales' Documentary 1989
(38:26.  Published on 10 Feb 2015)
The new round of ITV franchise applications is approaching and HTV Wales decides to blow its own trumpet a little in this locally-screened documentary looking behind-the-scenes at the Welsh ITV station and celebrating the previous 21 years of achievements at HTV. It's obviously a bit of a PR job but does contain interesting information about the structure of the company and its broadcast operations. In fact, it was the very non-TV diversification referred to here that got the station into a few financial scrapes into the new licence period from January 1993 when the economy tanked and recession beckoned. I suspect HTV's "fine art" division didn't seem like such a great investment then!

It's an odd production that looks like it was made as a corporate promo for potential investors and then hurriedly re-edited to fill a Sunday evening slot. Oddities include the choice of opening theme (a sort of sub Miss World thing) and managing director Huw Davies starting the whole show off with what can only be described as butthurt about a press reference to HTV being a small company.
