I go back to when Peter Lewis was the voice at 5.15 pm on a Friday night. In vision continuity and the visible junction between Euston Road (Thames), and the South Bank Studios (LWT). Miss them both,

I watched this live and it still sends a tingle down my spine 20 years later. I still think it's a scandal that ITV got rid of regional identites.

And it looks like they’re not done with phasing out regional IDs. UTV ditched its own branding when it was sold to ITV in 2016. Today however, not even the ITV-ised UTV logo is shown as the channel branding aside from, iirc, local news programming, resorting to the standard ITV logo instead. Local announcement is also gone, as it was the fact with the ITV consolidation of 2002. STV today remains the only station to be still independent from ITV plc, having its own full-on branding and services.

Ownership had consolidated, but it was still very fragmented and certainly could have been kept in that state or even reversed if that was desired. You do also realise that the actual rationalisation of almost the entire network being owned by ITV plc happened before Blair's second term had ended? It may have been started by the Tories, but Labour did nothing to stop it. Moaning about 'the corrupt far right government' has diddly squat to do with the end of regional ITV. And if the government switches to the other side, precisely nothing will happen to reverse it.

Then you clearly weren't actually there (or I suspect even born) in October 2002 for you were certainly not 'walking out of those doors for the last time' on that day unless you were a continuity announcer. It was sad when the regional identities went but apart from the rationalisation of branding around continuity, nothing else immediately changed. It took until 2003 to fully rationalise the schedule between Carlton/Granada owned regions, then 2004 for Carlton & Granada to merge which was only the point at which regional brand names disappeared from programmes made by Granada-owned stations ('An LWT Production' was still a thing until early 2004), then 2006 to stop claiming copyright in the name of regional stations ((c) LWT 2006 was a thing that existed) and then many more years for actual production to be wound down followed finally by closure of Kent House.

When it ceased operations, Londoners remembered LWT in their hearts that day

ITV didn't even want any region to make a big deal for.... Some reason.

Grew up in London with LWT and Thames. Along with the other regions, plenty of entertaining programmes on offer. Generic ITV is pants.

Central and Westcountry regions were the pilot for removal of regional identity, as Carlton replaced them both with its own in September 1999. Clearly this proved they could get away with it as they got rid of them all three years later. In the Midlands, we were ecstatic to see ITV do to Carlton what they had done to Central. Even more so in 2004 when Carlton and Granada merged and Granada retired the Carlton name once and for all. Central still lives on in the regional news name. The only names completely lost are Carlton, LWT and HTV. No one could care less about Carlton but the other two are sad losses.

@krisstarring

Жыл бұрын

At least the name remains. Alas, "Central" is still a shell of its former self though with ITV plc not producing anything from the Gas Street studios in Birmingham for the rest of the network and the old Lenton Lane studios in Nottingham sadly shuttered too. Together, the Midlands were a powerhouse of ITV programming going all the way back to the days of Lord Lew Grade's ATV. I had heard that the ITV plc merger was more of a takeover of Carlton by Granada, and based on how everything set into place it seems that Granada ended up the big winners in the deal. Local presentation for ITV Central is sent out of Leeds now, and ITV's main center of production is at MediaCity UK in Manchester aka "Granadaland."

In fact, LWT technically still exists, it's still the name on the ofcom license for the london weekend franchise. It's just not referred to on air anymore. The same is true of Tyne Tees and Granada, Meridian etc. The ITV regional franchise structure is still there, it's just hidden offstage now like the deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstien. It only peeks out a little occasionally in regional news programmes or that was true a couple of years ago, I actually haven't watched live tv in years, it's all internet for me now.

I remember watching it on a sunday night. I love the razzmatazz of LWT to the rather pale Thames of the 1980s. Not old enough to remember 1968 but i bet the first 7pm handover was intresting.😮

Would you be able to upload that full recording of Nightscreen as seen at 0:27?

I don't have it. I had no reason to record Nightscreen in full.

Did you really have a 16:9 TV back then? If so, how much did it cost?

I got my first 16:9 TV in early 2001. It was a 32" Sony Wega, and it cost just over £1000.

As it says in the description, the first clip was from approximately two weeks earlier. Trish was out of the country on holiday for the last two weeks of October 2002. The only live announcements in this video are that one, and Glen's "34 years ago" one before The South Bank Show. The startup and the one with Glen and Trish in-vision were both pre-recorded.

​@dunebasher1971 I wish they were live, but I would contact ITV to learn lessons for that, and ITV should start making an assessment in order to follow suit from the BBC to get the announcers live on-air after nearly 70 years in the making fir the first time ever

@@dunebasher1971 don't forget during the end titles to the south bank show aswell , because Glen did the final live announcement during the south bank show's end titles in the early hours of Monday 28th October 2002 and from what i recall, Glen's had tears rolling down his face and yes Glen's announcement during the special LWT start up in the early hours of Sunday 27th October 2002 was live .

Is there any Meridian final continuity like this?

@bloonface

Bit of a late answer, however the simple answer is to my knowledge, no. The Granada-owned regions (that at that point included Meridian) bar LWT were all running on pre-recorded centralised continuity and as such made no acknowledgment whatsoever that their branding was going away. The Carlton regions were *not* pre-recorded but also made no mention of it (there's a clip on TV Ark of one of the final Carlton London announcements where Mark Lipscomb sounds rather resigned, and that's about it). LWT were, apparently, the only one of the Granada/Carlton stations to even appear like they knew it was happening. Which is sad in its own way, but possibly just reflective of LWT's own culture.
