Yorkshire Television Logo History 

Interesting facts!

@@JontyMaster that's actually called ITV Yorkshire

I always try to look it up, but I couldn't understand how to write that down (Yorkshire English should be considered a language on its own), so thanks, mate!

The 'old Yorkshire folk song' in fact started life as a hymn-tune written in, of all places, Kent. I believe the Ilkley Moor words were added by a church choir from Halifax who were on a day trip to said moor. The tune, which goes by the name of 'Cranbrook', is still sung as a hymn-tune in the United States, where it can be guaranteed no-one has heard of Ilkley Moor and its hatless rambler.

That variant is hilarious XD

@@JontyMaster Thx

According to the CLG Wiki, they were only used for 2 years. I agree with you, they're great, and I quite like how they used two different versions of the theme tune.

Don’t forget the new statesman

What About James Whales TV Show? 1988-1995,

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Live North East of Hull used to get news from South Lincolnshire (Anglia) never heard of half the places, pre bridge days 😂

Because in 1974 Yorkshire was given the Belmont Transmitter by the IBA which is in Lincolnshire, they had been fighting with Tyne Tees over the Bilsdale transmitter and the IBA whom obviously wasn’t happy about their bickering gave them Belmont as a compromise. Which sadly meant viewers in North Norfolk and Lincolnshire got Yorkshire Television from Leeds instead of Anglia Television from Norwich on their TV unless they got another aerial to point towards one of Anglia TVs relays or main transmitter masts as well.

@@jane1975 Yeah we lived in West Norfolk and could not pickup Anglia very well so we had 2 Aerials on the roof 1 pointing to Central (Sandy Heath) the other to Yorkshire (Belmont).

They spent a ton of cash on that ident and made a total f up of it particularly with TVS, Yorkshire and Granada’s idents. Dundas’ theme, Get Ready for ITV was catchy and the graphics were great for the time but they did mess up with the designs of some of the triangles for the regional idents.

All good.

@@JontyMaster yep, and i made my cardboard 20th century fox logo

@@General-Brit UMPANTVD571's Archives

We could also pickup Central on the Bedfordshire transmitter Sandy Heath.

It's all good.

Yeah I decided to edit it out due to copyright.

Is that copying someone’s content?

@@JontyMaster Good

Yeah it's okay.

That Was Before I Checked Logopedia It Was Real

Since you don’t know, THQ bringing u-draw to the ps3 and xbox 360 is what killed them. Then Nordic Games bought most of THQ’s assets and then later, bought the THQ name. So Nordic Games now operate under THQNORDIC

I said I MIGHT make one.

@@JontyMaster message received. If you do, I’ll loon forward to it. In the meantime, I’ll be trying to track down the mastermind behind the Max Headroom pirating incident in Chicago.

@@ABCEasyas-- Best of luck!

Now I found out, its ITC

@ayrshireman94: Sounds like a Christmas version.

@@jane1975 yeah, but a Crimbo version but be bells imo, not like a lullaby

THQ Inc. was an American video game company based in Agoura Hills, California. It was founded in April 1990 by Jack Friedman, originally in Calabasas, and became a public company the following year through a reverse merger takeover. Initially working in the toy business, it expanded into the video game business through several acquisitions before shifting its focus away from toys entirely. THQ continued its trend of acquiring companies through the 2000s. The company published both internally created and externally licensed content in its product portfolio. THQ's internally created game series included Darksiders, De Blob, Destroy All Humans!, MX vs. ATV, Red Faction, and Saints Row, among others. The company also held exclusive, long-term licensing agreements with sports and entertainment content creators, such as Disney, DreamWorks Animation, Nickelodeon, Pixar, and WWE. After years of financial struggles, stock value drop, and debt, THQ filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2012 and commenced liquidation of its assets the following month. Several properties were auctioned to other companies, while the remaining staff was dismissed. The "THQ" trademark was eventually acquired by developer Nordic Games (which had also acquired some of THQ's auctioned-off properties) in 2014 and assumed the name "THQ Nordic" in 2016.

Anglia televisions transmitter at Belmont was given to Yorkshire tv in 1974.

Guess what? It's finally happening.

@@JontyMaster Finally!

Request: Spectrum News NY1

Request: A. Smith and Co/ITV Studios

Do NPO1?

Do ARD (Das Erste), Anglia Television and ABC for Kids?

This logo history was posted before that link. That's an interesting variant nonetheless. I like it when people do something to the logo before a title sequence of a show.
