Such fond memories of Thames Television & LWT

[@0ConkersBadFurDay0]

I truly believe the franchises, LWT & Thames in particular made far better programmes than the 'ITV' of today. Same as you, very fond of those two. I do still miss the LWT idents at the weekends.

[@astonishingpatch]

I wonder if the American jazz radio stations that played this knew it was off a British TV station…

When did they stop using this theme tune, what year?

[@glassowlie]

When the francises decided to remove them.

[@Thebustermann]

Most of the franchisees did not adopt the corporate look. For those that did, this theme was used sporadically by them until about 92. Some of them a little longer, but without the generic ITV identity.

@@Thebustermann Grampian Television kept the branding the longest.

[@RuthlessAfro4692]

98 they fully stopped using it then it was changed to the hearts in 99

[@80sandretrogubbins25]

The theme in this form, agree about 1992, but certainly LWT started using a more percussion heavy arrangement of it that lasted for a few years. Thames had a new sting in the early 90s that they used at least sometimes, that was nothing like this.
