I’m an American so now thanks to the internet, we can see these gems. I discovered a website devoted to TV idents from the UK several years ago and it also featured clocks. I love the HTV sounder at 1:54.
I tear up when I watch these because when the (70s) idents first aired I saw them with family and friends that aren't with me anymore. So preserving these helps me remember my own.❤
Excellent video footage of ITV regional idents during the early 70s I recall my late parents having a Reedifussion TV with the selector switch on the window ledge I recall seeing Yorkshire TV and Tyne tees TV and also the TV could be switched off and radio stations been able to be selected in later years I recall ITV Tyne tees being renamed ch3 North East
3:20 This is the BBC 1 Open University logo variant. The symbol on the top of the text BBC 1 is hard to define, but let’s break it down for you: the symbol, a combination of the letters O and U, is a abbreviation for Open University. Now you know.
Thames TV before Minder, George & Mildred and Wish You Were Here; LWT before Metal Mickey and Mind Your Language; Central before Spitting Image; Yorkshire before Emmerdale Farm and Rising Damp; Anglia before Mr & Mrs. Happy memories!
Thames with Dangermouse. London Bridge and the music (brass I think I remember) are as linked to the cartoon as the 20th Century Fox drum roll and Star Wars in my head.
I remember growing up in Essex and we used to be able to get Thames television, anglia and tvs. Had to adjust the indoor Aerial a bit lol Yorkshire tv always reminds me of staying with my aunty in the summers up in Doncaster lol
May I ask, what makes them 'scarey' to you? Is it the quality/production values? The music? The many revisions? For me, I choose to use the term 'haunting' over scarry. Haunting can be a good or bad thing. I close my eyes and hear that Central indent music, and remember a time (late 80s) trying to get a clear signal on a black and white TV in my bedroom on a Saturday afternoon. A child of 8 or 9 years old....
@@dorlow3765 I used to wake up late at night sometimes as a child then hear these idents, for some reason these and the news at 10 chimes used to scare the hell out of me, those chimes sounded very sinister to me at the time, later on in life i started having anxiety and panic attacks so ive pretty much always been a nervous person

Person McPersonface In the UK we used to have regional television on channel 3 know as ITV or Independent Television, which was created in 1955. Each region of the UK had its own station franchise and some were bought out over the years by other franchises ( TVS took over from Southern in 1981 started broadcasting Jan 1982) or rebranded ( ATV became Central in 1982). Carlton Communications took over from London’s weekday franchise in 1992 but both it and Granada Television which served the North West of England merged together to create ITV plc in 2002 and by 2004 the franchise that had remained all lost their on air identity ( even the Carlton and Granada themselves) its just known as ITV in England now. UTV or Ulster Television in Northern Ireland is owned by them too but currently is still UTV on air, only STV or Scottish Television is not owned by ITV plc. OU or Open University is the only odd man out here as that is a separate company and not a region. It had an ident though because back then before the WWW that’s how students could find out about courses.
Just like there is national television channels, some networks may be split by region, that is where you are in the country or which area affiliate you tune into at the time if more than one exists, e.g. North West, North East, etc. Scotland was considered a full region for BBC as was Wales. On ITV, Scotland comes under the STV Name and Northern Ireland is UTV. Most programmes on these channels were more or less the same however local programmes maybe broadcast on one channel in the network referred to as a regional broadcast, etc.
Nowadays regional television only really exists when newsreaders go to what they call "your region" if you live in and around London its the london news or london tonight. For Kent its meridian. Regional tv was brilliant i used to love watching the idents. TSW always was my favourite as a child i would spend summer holidays in cornwall. My mum rented a caravan down there. The programmes never really differed accept from maybe something ftom that area. Each region had its own studios. Meridian again for example were the Maidstone studios.
..but the video was uploaded in 2018, plus TH-cam started in 2005 - are you a time traveller? If so, I recommend you go further back to 1955, then you'll get the whole story on independent franchised television in the U.K., and how it broke up the monopoly of the BBC.

You missed the very very best - The original TSW ident. Nothing ever beat it.
Such a pity that whoever created this video has 'stretched' the original format, thus distorting the imagery.
ATV was similar to NBC in the 1955-68 tune.
Yep. You can hear the second and third NBC tones underneath.

Aside from the BBC, were they all networks or just individual broadcast channels?
They were companies that had regional franchises.

Different channels
