Yorkshire TV 1968 ident

[wetsuit2]

It's amazing that you've found this ident. I never thought I'd hear it again (sad, I know!).

[JFredUK]

Think, ' ilkley moor bah tat', when you listen to this.

[keithc1977]

Superb!

[paddle9]

The first couple of note are identical to the Thames ident. I'll get my anorak! I love the later gold ident... superb!

[jpongsin2002]

Well ok.

[UKSazzy67]

The best ident YTV ever id, all the rest were fucking boring. Lincolnshire should have stayed with Anglia TV, we are not Northerners, we are Fenners and East Anglians, but we were dominated by Yorkshire, who think that they are the Superior County. Bollocks..

@UKSazzy67 It was only to do with the transmitter locations. Your yorkshire signal came from belmont in lincolnshire. When that transmitted Anglia, those who lived in East yorkshire could not recieve the service they were supposed to be getting.

[Feisty1967]

@AidanLunn Thanks for clearing that up.

Please could someone tell me the name of the fanfare hwich always featured on YTV, and who voiced the emergedncy logo?

[Lynx890]

The fanfare is based on the Yorkshire song,"On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at". It's written in Yorkshire dialect which explains the spelling. The fanfare would be ILK-LA MOOR BAHT AAAAATTTTT roughly. Apparently it was written by Derek New.

Yorkshire TV. The most boring, amateurish station in the UK, who couldn't be arsed to have an animated ident, an in-vision continuity announcer, and their presenters were all bumbling and amateurish, and they completely ignored Lincolnshire with a pro- Yorkshire bias. Lincolnshire people were better served by Anglia TV, but we were forced, kicking and screaming to join Yorkshire TV. Nobody cares about us Yellowbellies!

Shut up you bleating Lincolnshire pig.

[UKSazzy67]

That just confirms everything I always suspected about Yorkshire people, they are all pig-ignorant, arrogant twats.

[digbycurrents]

Christ! You sound like a well balanced individual.

[blinkingblythe]

collars

[andresmalagreca]

The scariest logo

[AntarcticaTelevision]

YTV's only ever animated ident, used during its first year on the air.

[AidanLunn]

what about the liquid gold one?

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Whoops! You're right there. Totally slipped my mind!

[Rexeljet]

Wasn't there also one with a map that was animated
