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.❤

I always associate the jingles with certain programmes on that station....Anglia..."From Norwich, it's the quiz of the week!" (Sale of the Century)....ATV, "Crossroads"....Southern, "The Famous Five"....HTV West, "Children of the Stones" ....Yorkshire, "3-2-1" and "Emmerdale Farm"....Granada, "Hickory House" and "Coronation Street"....STV, Andy Stewart.....LWT, "Play Your Cards Right"....and Thames, a number of shows as it was my local region, but perhaps best of all, "Rainbow"!

Anglia TV had the best ident, the knight on the horse.

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.

The golden age of ITV, when it had a regional identities and made high quality, successful programmes.

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

A few ATV and Thames programs were shown in the USA, so those are the only IDs I've seen before.

always remember YTV Y logo taking of for 3-2-1

Nice to see the OU idents, haven’t seen those since I was little.

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....

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.
