Did I just saw BBC

I was a kid in the 70’s and about 7 ish in the morning before anyone else was up … I’d listen to this … fantastic!

TELLY-WELLY

EGG CUP LAND LONG LIVE TV-AM!

What a lovely blast from the past. As a kid I was often up early to watch this.

Good morning, this is Television South. TVS, the new Independent Television company that is proud to serve both the South and South East of England. To begin, we BRING IN THE NEW with for the first time our symbol, which will soon become very familiar.

0:06 _"Good morning. This is Central, which provides your programmes on the Midlands transmitters of the Independent Broadcasting Authority."_

"This is ATV Network, which provides your Monday to Friday programmes on channels 8 & 12, broadcasting on the Midlands transmitters of the Independent Television Authority."

From the transmitters of the Independent Broadcasting Authority, this is Television South.

Very nice drone shots but where’s the robin?!

We used to live in Scotland before moving to back Yorkshire be fore i watch stv know as scotishtelevion

Serving North Yorkshire _and_ the North East on channel 3, this is Tyne Tees Television

Tommy. The Who

In my own admittedly biased opinion the very best start up of them all.

50 YEARS AGO!!! I can't believe it!

0:32 _"This is Southern Independent Television, providing a full colour service to the South and South East of England from the transmitters of the Independent Broadcasting Authority."_

4:31 _"This is Yorkshire Television, in colour."_ - Redvers Kyle

_"This is Ulster Television, broadcasting from the IBA television transmitters serving Northern Ireland."_

There’s comfort food and then there’s comfort watching. This is the latter,simpler times.😊

A magnificent piece of music and to this day, so triumphant. And may I add that Yorkshire TV start-up in 1982 - also a magnificent TV start-up from where I lived. All lost in time, sadly. Thank you for uploading as a reminder. I used to watch this TVS start-up when I stayed with my nana in Brighton, around 1982-3. I felt Southern was so boring, but I'd watch the new and shiny TVS start-up, and I felt excited.

I really love this! Thanks so much for putting it together. Very well synched with the music and well chosen. The shot of the Liver Bird in the sunset is especially striking. The music is a classic of course. How appropriate to finish with MediaCity!

And now for the one, o, clock show with george romayne , ahh memories ! .

Memories of my Grandfathers flat in North London.

Seen the Anglia start up a few times in the 1970s. Although I was living in the ATV area at the time. I could pick a weak signal from Sandy Heath on my Fergusion Portable Monocrome TV..

ATV had some of the best start ups.

Saw this on holiday in Scarborough.

Once saw this at my Grandmothers house in North London in the 1970s

Saw this on holiday in Bournemouth and Brighton in the 1970s.

I saw a Westward start up whilst on Holiday in Cornwall in 1971 just before they went Colour. They showed Test Card D at that time.

It’s a great mock. However in reality I doubt Central would have kept the IBA caption on screen for that long. In all the start up routines I’ve seen the IBA caption only appears briefly.

one truly amazing fact about all these locations , it is not raining

Love being a Yorkie person born in county of shore 😊❤😊

ABC features in the film Quatermass and the pit.

Nice work.

Nice start up tune.

Does anyone know if this piece has been released on cd commercially?...if it hasn't it should be.

As a kid I always thought the TVS logo was a multicolour upside down Atari logo (of which I had the computers at the time). :)

I haven't searched your archive yet but an awesome mock would be an updated version of the ATV intro featuring Odyssey/"Life is a Beautiful Book". Edit: Ignore that, I've found it :)

Thanks for posting. Just so many happy memories of childhood brough back by this. At the time I was keen for the start up to be over so the programmes could start Only now do realise how good it actually was. Has anyone seen any episodes of Treasure Hunt with Keith Fordyce anywhere?

I preferred Westward's intro music - this seems like a strange fusion of game show and light jazz which doesn't quite "feel" right - but each to their own :)

The Drone footage is nice, although I think that the City of York, Whitby, Flamborough and Bridlington would be served by Yorkshire Television's transmitters than Tyne Tees although the catchment areas do overlap, which is because we are such a tiny country. I think Tyne Tees main transmitters were: Bilsdale, Burnhope now Chatton, and Pontop Pike, the most memorable TT TV ident was the the one from the 70s and early 80's [ the one with the the 3rd dimension ]. Super Gran, Chain Letters, The Tube and the adaptations of Catherine Cookson's novels.

I wonder if it's coincidental that Grampian and Granada appear to have used the same font. It's even more noticeable with the colour, the fact they both start "GRA" and share four letters.

I like the pseudo stereo enhancement of the music pieces. I've stereo widened this mock start up and converted it into a 6 channel surround sound WMA file using Adobe Audition 3 which I found on the internet, and converted it online to a Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1 Surround Sound file and it sounds incredible.

The font for the original IBA GMB card was Columbia Serial

Part of that first piece of music was also used in Rover The Long Goodbye
