Another ITV Brand i will review for everyone, is Association British Corporation (ABC) & Rediffusion London. Associated British Corporation, owned by cinema chain ABPC, was the third ITV station to take to the air (after Associated-Rediffusion and ATV). It broadcast to the English Midlands and the North of England on weekends, commencing in the Midlands on February 18, 1956, and in the North of England on May 5 of the same year. After a slow start, the company became renowned for having a strong corporate identity and a large range of popular programmes, including The Avengers, Armchair Theatre, World of Sport and Britain's first teenage music show, Oh Boy!. But in the 1967 franchise round, the weekday/weekend splits in the Midlands and North of England were removed, with ATV and Granada Television going seven days in the Midlands and the North West of England respectively and the Yorkshire area passing to the new Yorkshire Television, and ABC's hopes of obtaining the London weekend franchise were dashed by David Frost's London Television Consortium, which became London Weekend Television. The Independent Television Authority however, did not want ABC to disappear from the scene, and thus arranged a "shotgun marriage" between it and Rediffusion - creating a new London weekday station, Thames Television. ABC's final day of broadcasting was July 28, 1968, with Thames commencing two days later. Its in-house shows are now owned by French media company StudioCanal.
Associated-Rediffusion was the first ITV franchise to go on air, providing London's first weekday (Monday through Friday) service. A-R launched with a gala performance, presented jointly with ABC, on Thursday 22 September 1955. In 1964, the channel shortened its name to "Rediffusion London". In 1968, the company's franchise wasn't renewed and it was replaced by Thames Television (a forced joint venture between Rediffusion and EMI, which by then owned Associated British Corporation, ABC's parent company; ABC had also lost its franchise that year). The surviving A-R/Rediffusion London archive material is owned by Archbuild Ltd. and is held by the British Film Institute.
In 1994, Victor Lewis-Smith purchased the rights to the Associated-Rediffusion name (and related trademarks) and launched a new company under the legendary name (which has produced a number of acclaimed documentaries). The present-day A-R is active as a producer of documentaries and drama programming for ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
Associated-Rediffusion Productions was formed as a new company in 1994 by Victor Lewis-Smith, who acquired the name and trademark to Associated-Rediffusion. This company produces comedy series and documentaries.
