Five full ad breaks from the Channel 3 North East/Tyne Tees region during and after the Formula One, around ITV Sport Classics with Matthew Lorenzo, and then it cuts out just before we go into the news in early hours of Sunday, 8th March, 1998. Includes some nice continuity and promos, including for the World Cup in France, which was still a good few months away. IBM helpfully inform us that the Internet is the future of business, and I like the Maverick Bar and Wispa Gold sort of going head-to-head.
[EDIT: This is the final day of the Channel 3 North East branding before the TTTV logo returned in updated form. Well done to @JimmyT1993 in the comments for picking up on that.]
I can't imagine either 0891 35 35 35 or 0891 50 50 50 are still connected today, but just in case they are, choose wisely and dial carefully. Depending on your perspective, only one of them is likely to give you what you're hoping for.
Grateful thanks to Ben for sending me this recording.
