@AntarcticaTelevision the usual date given is January 1983 or even the end of 1982. Certainly I've never seen any examples after this, although the announcers continued to appear in vision to read the (Reuters/LBC) news bulletins.
@RobinCarmody I think there was one occasion certainly after LWT had abandoned full-time IVC when Sue Peacock (without specs!) appeared in front of the Presentation gallery at closedown to wish a Happy Christmas (this being their last sign-off before the holidays).
It certainly popped up on TV Ark a few years ago.
@RobinCarmody Well, the "end of 1982" speculative date is now oficially confirmed to be wrong. Could it be rather guessed so as to be "end of January 1983"? (more speculation, I know)
The actual date of this clip is Sunday 9th January 1983 - surely one of the very last examples of in-vision continuity on LWT.

@RobinCarmody Thanks - I got the date of this mixed up with that of the premiére of "Superman 2" (unless I'm wrong on that account as well).
When EXACTLY did LWT do away with IVC?
