any one who grew with this was lucky. i was stuck with the boring Merdian

[keda1981]

@rachel7000rf Alas, then, you must've been too young to remember the beatiful insanity that was TVS.

[rachel7000rf]

@keda1981 - was only two when it went away

[AidanLunn]

@21hammadmossop Yes it brings back memories, but I'm more interested in the programmes that they broadcast though.

To me, YTV seems like the perfect balance of northern pretention and self indulgence (granada) and not having that much in the sense of metaphorical balls (tyne tees). Yorkshire television seemed like the mix of the 2, balls yet willing to negotiate somewhat...meh, i live in yorkshire :3

[GanEdenAustralia]

The PROPER Emerdale music.

[electrogeek77]

Does the ending music make anyone else want to sob their eyes out?

[Applemask]

@electrogeek77 It's the theme tune to Emmerdale, one of our top soaps. And yes, it has been said.

Being born in 1990, I cant quite pinpoint the first YTV ident I openly remember, though my mum did really enjoy the 1994-1996 ident with the images of yorkshire.

In fact, until I accidently started recieving Tyne Tees on my TV in my bedroom I had no idea about the concept of 'in vision continuity'. Though to be honest I thought it looked cheap compared to the simple ident and voice over method. Thats what you get when your born into thatchers britain I guess, image over people...or something :S

[MattemoTV]

@madcapoperator I was born in 1990 too, and the earliest I remember was the 1994-1996 set...

Funnily enough, I get Tyne Tees on my bedroom TV too! However, I didn't have a bedroom TV until late 2001, so TTTV's IVC had already long gone by then...

Anyone wanting to see the ytv channel 3 moving logo type "save ytv" in youtube search and its at 4m30s on the promo

[TashkentFox]

You forgot to mention Yorkshire's last ditch attempt at scaring the living shit out of the nations children, The Riddlers.

[AidanLunn]

You got confused. The "friendly"-sounding Yorkshire ident was used from 1993-ish to 1996. Then the "3" branding was introduced from 1996-2000-ish.

[Applemask]

I was relying on Wikipedia and TV Ark.

[MattemoTV]

@AidanLunn actually it was 1994-1996, the '3' was from 1996-1998, and the modified version was 1998-1999!

[AidanLunn]

Yorkshire Television ident = BORING?????

That was the best ident on the network!!!!!

(i may be biased as I grew up with yorkshire TV though)

[morgansifer82]

I agree!

[madcapoperator]

Thames was better. ATV Is overrated though.
