WHAT? NO S4C?

Not in this edition -- I think only the editions serving Wales and western England had S4C listings.

The main ITV listings in my copy were Carlton/LWT and Anglia, with the other ITV stations listed under "Regional Variations".
 
Within 5 or 6 years, all of those ITV stations would be showing pretty much the same output.

Also the 2 hour Sunday Morning religious slot on ITV didn't have long left. I think it was pulled around 2000, and replaced with a 1 hour late night slot. Now it's gone altogether.

EDIT. And of course, the Fifth channel was a few months from launch at this point.
