On 9 August 1986, Yorkshire Television became the first ITV company and the first British terrestrial television station to offer 24-hour broadcasting. This was achieved by simulcasting the satellite station Music Box for a three-month trial, as permitted by the IBA. The all-night simulcasts continued until Friday 2 January 1987 - shortly before Music Box ceased operations as a broadcaster. Thereafter, Yorkshire ran a teletext-based "Jobfinder" service for one hour after closedown with a "Through Till Three" strand on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights introduced a few months later. 24-hour broadcasting resumed on 29 May 1988.
