The mock was so good Adam thought it was real

WE NEED TO GET THIS COMMENT VERY HIGH SO ADAM CAN SEE THIS

Thank you for these videos. As an American who lived in London in the 80's I always loved the subtlety and charm of British Television in terms of content, presentation and visual design. It's a shame none of the "local" ITV franchises exist anymore. The global ITV branding is understandable and probably cost saving but it certainly is dull. The Thames ID and the Central early 80s globe are my personal favorites.

[@edwardburek1717]

Very good idents, but they're mocks. Very good mocks, but mocks nonetheless. In actual fact ITV did bugger all to commemorate their 60th anniversary, apart from an hour-long live transmission of Coronation Street.

[@jimbo6059]

The first ident was the generic late 80s one where everyone ended up with the ITV in block capitals with the logo of the franchisee in the V

[@EricE549]

can't believe these are mocks, they looked so goshdang professonal ;w;

[@nicolamarchbank1846]

I think these are very well done, clever how they got the shapes to fit the 'itv' part. The part that lets it down a little is that my region, Border TV covering the distinctive region of Cumbria, Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders, and the Isle of Man wasn't included. Given we were and remain the only cross-national ITV region, the only part of Scotland fully under ITV Plc to this day, and have always had a unique challenge covering news and current affairs (even if it has been simplified a bit with the lodging of the Isle of Man with the North-West, as part of Granada) with the different priorities of England, Scotland, and Man, particularly since devolution and the rise of the SNP, and the fact that it was the ITV region that led the coverage of the most deadly act of terrorism on British soil, it might have been nice to be remembered. Southern Scotland and Cumbria, weren't feeling terribly loved by ITV at the time. During the merger between ITV Border-Tyne Tees, the issue of local news became VERY political. Effectively, they were trying to pass off mostly North-East news where the service was based as local, giving an inferior provision compared to what we had before. A cross-party alliance of politicians ended up getting involved and eventually, we got our Border news service from Carlisle restored. Sadly, in this context, given the timing, being omitted shouldn't really surprise me. Clearly, they thought we were too small and insignificant an area to get the same treatment as the mighty Yorkshire or Thames.

These are actually very well made mocks and never actually aired on ITV.

OH WHAT

[@YonTelevision]

[@caroline-janehall1984]

@@badcatalex No ITV made this, I remember see this 60th anniversary sequence of the indents. I think that they only used this for the 60th anniversary week only. But several people have done mock versions of them as well.

[@MinecraftandRobloxfanFortniteT]

@@caroline-janehall1984 it’s Idents Not indents dummy

[@bebbingtons1987]

Those idents where mocks and where not part of the 60th anniversary of ITV

[@ieuantime3257]

That clock at the end perfectly matched the time I was watching this.

[@alzoraig]

The "Finale Presentation" was actually a Mock created by Sean Patchen to celebrate ITV's 60th Anniversary, not an official ITV Ident.

[@JASpiring]

Yeah, if it was real, wouldn't every region have at least one company represented? Channel and Ulster are both missing.

[@Tbose54]

@@JASpiringBorder, Carlton, Meridian, and TSW and Westcountry are also missing. That's strange.😄

[@bigmatthawk18]

I’m surprised that Channel TV wasn’t one of the old ITV Regional companies in this as back in 1979 when the infamous ITV Strike happened, they were the only regional company to stay on air fearing the strike would put them out of business

[@chetapace79]

I mean, theres literally no ident to go off of. It’s either generic, bad, lion, or don’t move at all.

[@KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan]

We're still getting ready for ITV 67 years later

[@ACBlackJ0ck]

Really wish they kept these for longer like what they did with BBC 2's 90's throwbacks

[@elahrneb]

All of those were mocks and never broadcast on TV.

[@evonneokafor]

Talking about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKe4lnenlpdmobs Even it is a mock it is

[@timgoodwin4424]

Despite it being a mock it is a very good one to analyse. I would love it if you did an ident review on itv night time idents from 1988-1999

[@glassowlie]

The only thing we actually got was just the regular ITV bumper with the number 60...

[@MondySpartan]

If it's really made by ITV, then I would like to see an ITV continuity in action from September 2015 with these idents, as a proof...

[@johnwinder985]

Great fantastic stuff- you also missed the A.B.C Television i.t.v broadcast (from 1955 - 1968) I’ve been an i.t.v. Viewer from 1955 to present day 1/2/2019. Cheers!

[@PlayWatchViewKayden]

Wait your older than 60

[@whatamalike]

I'd be happy to have these regional idents as a fixture for each respective itv region before the news or (in the otherwise very rare instance) strictly regional programming. One can dream...and then realize that modern tv is actually shite and just stay on KZbin...

[@Jac-Man]

To be fair, KZbin isn’t much better.

[@COROCOROAquarium]

I love these anniversary jingles, as I did on NBC. I fell in love with ITV just for this jingle.

[@debbieparkes3588]

Happy 60th birthday, ITV. Long may ITV continue.

[@edwardburek1717]

You are joking, right? The charlatans that masquerade as the current ITV deserve to die a thousand deaths for pissing on a golden legacy of broadcasting and forsaking their own heritage.

[@Neillan]

@@edwardburek1717 I'm not even British and I can tell it's hot garbage. These are mockups, they never even commemorated the old stations. Corporate ITV killed them.

[@Nostalgic80s-nd3qb]

I like how ITV gave the regional idents one last time embrace our screens and recreated the 1989 generic ident with its new programming. Great video Adam.

[@billyhendren5753]

5:42 STV still exists but it now serves the whole of Scotland Grampian served the north, and STV serves the central belt and still does to this day!

[@adamfro]

These were mocks made by someone who posts on TV Forum and were not broadcasted

[@evonneokafor]

Think you meant this.... Still it is a great tribute even if it is a mock kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKe4lnenlpdmobs

[@davepoole9520]

A pity that ITV doesn't have to go through strict procedures to keep its franchise like the much missed classics like ATV had to.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Okay, so we all know that these are Mocks, but does anyone know who made them and where I could find the original upload?

[@edwardburek1717]

There were a few missed off - Border, TSW, TWW, and as mentioned, Ulster TV. Meridian and Carlton, naturally, don't count.

[@1701Wren]

Err Grampian shouldn't be there (owned by stv) and Border was missing

[@jane1975]

Will Wren Grampian prior to being bought out in the late 90’s was part of the ITV network as was STV until ITV plc was formed and now only STV is the only company not owned by them ( Granada/Carlton) and yes Border isn’t shown, although I think the creator of this mock tribute did have Border in it.

[@madandyb]

Border isn't included because the ident was static rather than animated. Probably the same reason no Ulster or Channel indents.

[@jane1975]

@@madandyb Both Channel and Ulster had moving idents and both were part of the ITV network, but, yes Border's was static until the Generic ident of 1989.

[@madandyb]

@@jane1975 You are right - thinking about it now they wouldn't be able to amend the Ulster ident as wasn't animated like the others...
