Westward lost it's franchise in 1981 despite a reasonable record in regional programming, often shown at the expense of networked shows (at one time it was months behind with screening ATV soap "Crossroads"). It's hour long regional news magazine "Westward Diary" proved very popular, presented for many years by Westward Anchorman - Kenneth McCloud (one popular weekly feature was a 'picture postcard' competition), however it had made no significant contributions to the Network apart from the odd gameshow such as "Treasure Hunt" (*not the channel four show) and agricultural programmes.

TSW took over the Westward studios and most of it's staff in 1981, Gus Honeybun was among the regulars to transfer to the new company. Again there was little impact on National output apart from the quiz "That's My Dog" and a few leisure programmes such as "Shoot that Video" (aired on C4) with former "That's Life" presenter Chris Serle.
