London Weekend Television is the British ITV television network franchise holder for London and the South East at weekends, broadcasting from Fridays at 5:15pm (prior to 1982 at 7:00pm) to Monday mornings at 5:59am.
London Weekend Television is now known on air as ITV1, and ITV1 London verbally in accordance with regional programming. The company is now managed with Carlton Television as a single entity, ITV London. The London Weekend licence continues to be held by London Weekend Television Ltd, part of ITV plc.

The station took over from ATV on 2 August 1968 (although ATV continued broadcasting to the Midlands until 1981). ATV's weekend franchise had covered Saturdays and Sundays only; when LWT came on air, it was also extended to Friday nights from 7.00pm, which meant there was an on-screen handover from Thames Television shortly beforehand. In 1982, LWT's hours were extended to begin at 5:15pm. When Carlton Television took over from Thames in 1993, the times were retained, but since Carlton hired its broadcast facilities from LWT, the on-screen handover no longer involved switching between different studios.

Back in the day you had Greavsie and Saint on every Saturday afternoon...those were the days...Still think that Greavsie could have been a legend in 66 had circumstances been different...he was the rooney of his day but everyone thinks he was just a piss head.....
