TVS was the ITV contractor in the south and south-east of England from 1982 to 1992, and built the Maidstone Studios. Much of the TVS programme library was bought by International Family Entertainment in 1993, and shown on The Family Channel (later [[:Category:Challenge Programmes|Challenge]]). After a series of takeovers, the archive was acquired by Disney, but cannot be screened as much of the paperwork is missing.

Defintion:
Programmes made by Television South.

TVS replaced Southern as the ITV station for the South and South East of England on 1 January 1982. It was itself replaced by Meridian on 1 January 1993, after overbidding in the 1991 ITV franchise auction.

TVS's programme library was bought by International Family Entertainment in 1993; consequently, many of its programmes were shown on the British version of The Family Channel (later Challenge). A series of takeovers resulted in the library coming under the ownership of Disney in 2001. In the subsequent years, Disney shredded a majority of the paperwork documentation required for rescreening and wiped many master tapes of shows; the result is that many TVS programmes cannot be repeated.
