In 1964, was the 7 hour daily limit of regular programmes firmly in place, or could ITV companies use more hours on one day, and then less on another, to ensure they did not breach the 50 hour maximum weekly ration?

I am aware that Independent Television in the South brought us show jumping during the 1960s and the late great Raymond Brooks-Ward commentating on the event. Southern Television ceased transmission on Thursday 31st December 1981 after 23 years on air and its successor Television South which began on Friday 1st January 1982 and they relinquished show jumping coverage to the BBC. Roving Report was dropped from the ITV scheduled at the end of June in 1967 to make way for News at Ten which started on Monday 3rd July 1967.

The one and only US show for that day was a repeat of Hanna Barber’s Quick Draw McGraw (1959), the successor to The Huckleberry Hound Show and just as funny. As well as the Quick Draw McGraw segment, there was Snooper and Blabber + Auggie Doggy and Doggy Daddy.
