Today marks the day of the franchise departure of ATV (Associated Television Limited). The 30th anniversary 1981- 2011! How Television has changed since then! This is when at the time, regionisation of our television network was changing. ITV say it is for the better! If it was for the better, why is it? That the station has underated in the last 30 years. Why? Reality TV!!! How many times has Youtube viewers underated ITV? Millions!! Youtube viewers, give ITV a culture shock this year!

@1ATV That was a perfect if not excellent comment 1ATV!!! Do you know I don't own a TV Licence anymore. Why? Might you say... Because are identity has been destroyed since ATV is a class of its own and was taking away from us. You are right todays TV is absolute rubbish!! I won't ever regain my TV Licence ever again because you will never get your regionlised TV ever again! Yes, indefinately the rot NOW has set into ITV. Great comment dear Youtube viewer!

Absolute nonsense , ATV died on 31st Dec 1981 , Central wasn't a patch on ATV , any comparison between them would have Lew Grade turning in his grave.
Central , equally as bad as Carlton , who took over from Thames and made a pigs earhole out of another great franchise area.
ATV was in a class of it's own , and we will probably never see that likes of it again.
Might as well rename ITV Simon Cowell TV
these days anyway , absolutely rubbish.

Central was a management re-shuffle at ATV as ordered by the IBA because it was still seen as a London managed company and they wanted a proper focus placed on the Midlands hence the name change and the opening of Lenton Lane studios in Nottingham, and different local news bulletins for each part of the Midlands. There is a bit more to it than that, but that is the gist.

Central wasn't ATV. It was a complete separate entity. ATV lost the franchise and it's final day of broadcasting was 31 December 81.
