ITV(1) at 20: The Ultimate Regional Ident Collection (Series 2)

The Year: 2002 The Date: 28th October The Time: 9:25 AM. At this moment ITV (in England, Wales and Southern Scotland) became a single channel for the first time ever, as it remains to this day. In recognition of this milestone, I present once more the most comprehensive series of ITV regional idents available on KZbin. Now over an hour longer than the previous edition, and once again all idents are clean and announcer-free. Now let us step once more back in time to the golden era of British commercial television, and savor the memories of those lost local legends........

wish ITV will bring back regional identity , even if its just just for the local news

[@Tbose54]

But maybe they won't bring the regional idents back.

[@philipsmith0752]

@@Tbose54 no thy probably won't

[@rtc9063]

As long as they didn't reinstate Carlton - a company who should never have been awarded an ITV licence in the first place.

[@Taliesin-xd7ke]

And regional representation too?😂

[@CJODell12]

Animators: How many ident variants do you want? Central: *YES*

[@thomasduemey8859]

If only TVark was still up so I could see more idents.

[@AW336Lab]

they claim they're "restoring" the site, restoring my ass, that has been going for a long time

[@Sheffield_Steve]

It's back, Finally! 👍 And they've finally sorted the buffering video issues they had, where it seemed even if you had 100mb Broadband it seemed like dial-up.

​@@AW336Lab its back btw

[@AW336Lab]

Yep they brought it back for the 25th anniversary

[@QuantumScratcher]

1:57 why does this sound so good to me lol it sounds really dramatic for some reason

[@DashaStogovaSeries]

1:13:11 WHAT IS THAT VARIANT? TELL ME, PLEASE! THIS IS GETTING TOO BORED...

[@sleepytyphlosion5660]

Something I’ll note - you don’t seem to have the unique idents they did for UTV after 2002, which they continued doing until about 2020.

[@MultiAnimationdude]

That was the entire point. ITV went national after 2002, so I stopped there.

[@sleepytyphlosion5660]

@@MultiAnimationdude I mean you’re right - just surprised because there was still regional elements there.

[@fiverZ]

@@sleepytyphlosion5660 UTV remained independent until 2016 which is when ITV plc bought it. Regional continuity continued until 2020.

[@mrcrocker2638]

Hey MultiAnimation are we going to get a sequel to your ITV1 Turns 20 video or not

[@Sheffield_Steve]

1:41:56 Oh, no not the crappy Bruce Gyngell Channel 3 idents!! 🫣

[@irsanoeste7701]

It contains lwt, central, Carlton, meridian,

[@jeremedia0214]

HTV, Anglia, Granada, Yorkshire, Westward, TSW, and so on.

[@Sheffield_Steve]

Yep, it's a crappy Carlton ident interwoven into an HTV ident. That's how shoddy it was becoming. And of course with itv1 the rest is history.

[@Wadahek2015]

Whats the youngest region
