The Channel TV caption was taken from an off-air screen-cap. It's accurate with respect to that. However, Channel TV almost certainly used more than one IBA caption design over the years.
The STV was also taken from an off-air screen-cap that someone sent me. However, it wasn't at all clear if the background was navy blue or black, so I plumped for black. However I'm sure STV used more than one caption.
Many thanks for taking the time to comment RadioSix - your comments were very helpful.

All beautiful work, so I hate to niggle, but the STV caption wasn't quite right - the genuine original was over an IBA-blue background.
The Channel TV caption didn't look right either - my receollection of that one was that the IBA cap was less elaborate.

TWW colour start up IBA caption (mock)by mrimaginational692 views
Interesting how you managed to match so many of the captions with the appropriate music - though having "On Ilkley Moor Baht 'At" playing over the Granada caption may have insulted a few million people west of the Pennines...

@Woollylinnet Point taken! The problem was I gave each slide equal airtime - or I risked upsetting just about everyone - but I also tried to match appropriate music with the slides. Turned out to be rather tricky! Many thanks for commenting.

Lovely piece of work as always... but what's the piece of music?

@rgelen It's called "This Is England" by Ronald Hamner, performed by The Westway Studio Orchetra and was available on the (now sold-out) Winchester Hospital Radio compilation "Watch With Teacher". It was used as a piece of ITV Schools interval music in the Autumn of 1972.

@stupidrubbish I'm absolutely amazed that this *wasn't* a piece of startup music. The last few bars belong behind an on-screen clock ticking up to 9:30AM - straight out of ATV's "Sound and Vision".

@mikeknell You're absolutely right. I'm even more amazed that it *was* a piece of schools interval music, where it doesn't seem to belong at all.
