Glenn Cooney I bet the people were pissed at that, but I suspect if they could afford it, they could get another aerial fitted and pointing towards an Anglia Television transmitter.
@@jane1975 no we weren't. If you lived in East Yorkshire you had to suffer Anglia pre 74, no-one went that way south pre Humber bridge days (still don't if we can help it) so the daily news about Kings Lynn & Norwich didn't mean a thing 😂
Oh how I wish we still had regional ITV companies, something to be proud of in your local area instead of the generic tripe we now have to endure, I realise it was an economic issue but its such a shame
Ah yes, the failed UTV Ireland.. How UTV Ireland could have been possible to just shared the same broadcast table with ITV or UTV for that matter when it started would have been nice..
The waste of money the then UTV management paid useless big 4 accountants to say UTV Ireland would ever be viable. Even an idiot like me would have recommended buy out TV3 and rebrand it.
And yes, When ITV purchased the UTV business and library. They would sell UTV Ireland to TV3, TV3 would get the Irish rights to the entire ITV library for a few years and things went wrong? IDK if Virgin Media Ireland still has the ITV rights.
The logo for TVS used from 1987 onwards was actually first used in 1989, there was a version from 1987 but it had a lighter blue/grey design and was significantly different 👍 not being picky or anything 😂

Nicholas M Daskievige It always was part of the ITV network, but it’s now owned by ITV plc it keeps it’s on air identity as UTV though rather than use the English one. The only one now Independent is STV ( Scottish Television ).
ITV controllers at that time Carlton and Granada set up production branches in USA and later, Germany, France, Australia and the Nordics this latter 4 would become part of the ITV Studios group. But Thames entered the Soviet TV market first before the ITV corporation was founded. Thames agreed with the country's government to broadcast news bulletins, programs etc. This was one of the reasons why Thames exploded worldwide thanks to their successes in Japan, South America, Germany and beyond. (This is why Thames survives today as a production unit of Fremantle UK (but their children’s program library are with Boat Rocker))
Oh hi,my name is Carlton and now me and my fella Granada we bought all Independent Television Net for our purposes,so now say goodbye for your regional,this now called Meridian and you is out...tks
Any idiot with a ounce of sense would have told UTV to bid and buy out TV3 and if need be rebrand it. God only knows how many more millions were given to useless Big 4 accountants to f**k that up and then UTV itself had to be sold off.
Clearly showing what happened after Carlton took over Thames TV then proceeded to strip ITV of its regional identity by spreading to TSW and Central (like an infection). Worth noting David Cameron was head of communications at Carlton at the time. You could say the reason why ITV has lost its heart is because of Tory attitudes like those of David Cameron.
Hi Theleidiumic! I currently creating a tv logos as Pokémon and memes x tv logo collab. And Nice video and its the second time that I watched. I first appeared your video last year in recommendations.
4 ITV Regional channels on analogue tv, How did you manged to pick the other ITV Regional companies up, when ITV wasn't even Broadcasting on Satelite., I wanted my family to pick up LWT/Thames where i live in the Home Counties of East of England. All i got was either Anglia or Central.
@@scottpeacock5492 i am not sure how i just remember them but the channel was not as clear as granada. i had a sega game gear tv tuner, there was a power cut christmas 1997 so i watched tv on the game gear and picked up htv on it.

apparently as of 2020 UTV has been bought by the ITV PLC and is set to loose its on-air identity. another one bites the dust. (correct me if i am wrong i just saw this on a different video and decided to repost here) EDIT: just found out its still known as UTV, therefore this post is incorrect.
Chase Hoffman Granada still exists, it’s one half of the merger with Carlton Communications under the ITV plc they created, all the franchises that didn’t lose like Anglia or Tyne Tees are dormant companies under the ITV name. The only one that’s currently not part of ITV plc is Scotland’s ( STV).
When the clocks ticks over to January 1982 and ATV was taken over to be replaced by Central and that crap orb and then the clock ticks over again at January 1993 and the end of ITV with Thames being taken off air by a company who passed a quality threshold and never produced one piece of quality in its near 10 year existence.
Hi i'm Carlton me and my friend Granada was bored,what we do to fix this... -Ok,TSW,Central,Thames,and LWT,you are now out..thanks for your job but is a new order in ITV
Totally agree. What a track. Says everything in the vocals and so haunting. I worked in Tyne Tees Television for 30 years and the individual company idents are a miss in my opinion. ITV is non descript now. My favourite Tyne Tees ident was the 80's one, where the logo runs up the screen. I still believe the Tyne Tees logo said it all, well designed with the 3 T's and the V making up the logo.
steveh31 He must of forgotten that Yorkshire was given the Belmont Transmitter by the IBA in 1974 putting poor North Norfolk in Yorkshire TV land, of course if they could afford another aerial on their house they could have it pointing towards one of Anglia’s transmitters to get both.
The Isle of Man was once part of the Border but is now part of the Granada region. Jersey is part of the Channel Islands and thus it is part of the Channel Television region.
Basic summary: UK: Let there be commercials! **ITV Forms** 14 Regions: Ello! TWW: Wales shall be Mine! **1968 comes** Granada: NOO! Yorkshire: Bye bye, Granada! ABC, TWW and Rediffusion: Bye! HTV, Thames, LWT: Hi! ATV: Damn you LWT! **Colour TV appears** Border, Westward: Wait for us! **1979 Strike** Channel: LOL, I SURVIVE! **1982 Occurs** ATV: It's Central time baby! Southern: GRRR! LET ME STAY- TVS: Be quiet Southern. TSW: Good riddance to Westward! Central: 2D boring. 3D Cake time! Yorkshire, LWT, STV, HTV: Let's copy him! Thames: What if I broadcast in USSR? Anglia: This knight is very old, Flag time! ITV: Guys, use my ident Most: Ok. **1993 Occurs** Carlton: HAHAHA, ONE DOWN! TVS, TSW: Goodbye. Meridian, Westcountry: Hello. Tyne Tees, Yorkshire: 3 is the magic number! Central, Westcountry: HELPP- **Bought by Carlton** Carlton: BAHAHAHA ITV: Use my new Ident Many: Ok. Carlton: Let's expand internationally and buy out all regions! Granada: Let's do it! Carlton: Now that we have took all, Lets unite! Granada: Sure! **ITV plc forms** ITV: Finally, we are one! ITV: Now lets continue expanding globally! STV: Grampian, join me! Grampian: Fine... Channel: Welp.. It's over... UTV: Let's give Ireland a service. UTV Ireland: no. **dies**
Thames: Wut? IBA: Fine, IBA: :) TSW: *WHAT??* The Logo His Changed To Westward?????? Most: 🤔 IBA: It's Okay. Thames Russia: DXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDX XAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXXAXAXAXAXAX! Central: A Cake Is a Lie! Like a Microsoft Sam! Tyne Tees: Hmmmmmmmmm.......... *Later...........* UTV: Hello. ITV: What? You Too. *-Kidnap Carlton-* London: Fine.
ATV In 1976: COME ON I WANT TO RETIRE ATV In 1982: YES!! I RETIRED! YAY I GOT FIRED!! :DDDDDDD Central In 1982: Hi Guys. I'm Central and I've came to replace ATV because he got fired. Carlton In 2004: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I GOT FIRED NOOOOOOOOOO
Your joining of the two Scottish franchises into one in 2006 isn't correct. There are still two franchise areas: STV North and STV Central. They work in exactly the same way as the ITV franchise areas.
And Channel Television (if you only count 2002 and older franchise changes). Didn't get bankruptcy, wasn't got bought by Granada, Cartlon, UNM, SMG etc... The 1991 Brocasting Act? Channel Television still win, but they bid £1000 (I remember).
If I had to rename the regions (and sub-regions) of ITV, I'd be thus: London: Thames/ LWT (again), based in London Meridian North: Thames Valley Television, based in Oxford Meridian South Coast: Remain Meridian, based in Southampton Meridian East: White Cliff Television, based in Brighton South West: Westcountry, based in Plymouth West: Western Television, based in Bristol Wales: Harlech Television (again), based in Cardiff Anglia (West): Anglia Fenland Television, based in Cambridge Anglia (East): East Anglian Television, based in Norwich West Midlands: Midland Television, based in Birmingham East Midlands: Central Peak Television, based in Nottingham North West: Remain Granada, based in Manchester Yorkshire (West): Yorkshire Television, based in Leeds Yorkshire (East): North Sea Television, based in Hull North East: Remain Tyne Tees, based in Newcastle Border: Remain Border, based in Carlisle Northern Ireland: Remain UTV, based in Belfast Scotland (Central): Remain Scottish Television, based in Edinburgh Scotland (Highlands): Grampian (again), based in Aberdeen.
If they would bring the Thames name back, then I’d imagine ITV acquiring the Thames brand from FremantleMedia. Thus Thames would be a part of ITV again
