"ATV Ident" + Start up. This is a rough re-creation of the final start-up sequence that ATV used, right up to the end of its life. The music is 'MIDLANDS MONTAGE' by Johnny Pearson (composer of many TV themes). The background images changed according to the time of the year. Widescreen ATV Ident at the end.
@Enerjee Mike was a very busy guy as he also did some work for HTV as well.

@Glamking1 it was the last kind of start-up that ATV did. Not *the* very last start-up. That's what I think molineuxphil meant.

@andrextoiletpaper - Yes, that was Mike Prince who I also used to see doing continuity on LWT when I went to London to stay with my sister in the 1970s.

This is the brilliant piece of incidental music based on the ATV jingle I remember from the '70s !
Fantastic - when we had the best television system in the world. ITV had money because they had the monopoly on television advertising and the BBC was perfect competition without advertising.

Charming piece of music there. It's such a pity commissioned pieces like these lie in archives somewhere :(
