HTV Logo History

As I grew up in Dublin we had one Irish channel until, we eventually got UK channels in the early 70's by cable. The only ITV channel we received was UTV from Ulster. However, depending on the atmospheric conditions during the summer, we occasionally received HTV. It came and went but I loved the logo and the music associated with the ident and was always disappointed when summer was over and we no longer received HTV, reverting to UTV, which, in fairness was a great channel. Thank you for putting this selection of HTV idents together!

Amazing isnt it that on all tv idents the 70s - early 80s always seemed the best including HTVs brilliant jingle from 70- 86

The Harlech ident from 1968 looks like a recreation because of how advanced it is

you didn’t add ITSWW, unless the ident wasn’t actually real

I like The GCI HTV logo 1987 to 1989, and the theme song for 1987 is great .👍

The "H" in HTV it's for:

1. Harlech

2. Hearst

3. Human

4. Holiday

As a mexican the one that i remember and gives me the full nostalgia is the 80's one, the one played before the great show robin of sheerwood

Do you get HTV if the viewers lived in Minehead Somerset

Although I grew up in Bury St. Edmunds (so Anglia region), I always loved the Southern (equated in my mind to “How”), HTV (Robin of Sherwood) and ATV (... Crossroads) idents...

Do you have a compilation of early BBC Local Radio idents??

Thanks Boyo !

Thanks Boyo !

2003-2004

my nephew asked "what was telly like when you was my age?" and i showed him this as an example

What's the music at 3.21

Oh man as an American myself i really love the 1968 Harlech ident and it’s all thanks to Lord Harlech himself who brought this iconic ident to life

I hate ITV

I like the short jaunty Young Kingdom over the Harlech logo and the extended Waterfall jingle

I Missed TWW Logo,

It was very impressive of you to find the TWW logo without the 3 boxes. Unfortunately it is actually the first TWW logo. I do admire your perseverance as another man somewhat dedicated to idents, Adam Martyn, could not find that 1st TWW logo yet you did. Well done, sir, and good luck.

It reminds me of 1999 Carlton ident😅

Vietnamese

Meridian reminds me a lot of Wolfychu, because she was born in that region! ✌✌😁🥰

Why did the 1987 logo dissolve in 1989?

the episode 184? is about record tv!!

Of a lot

Is not be in TWW Logo

My HTV logo evolution will not include TWW

Yep.

Can I just say I appreciate that you're one of the few logo history makers who doesn't have an unnecessarily long intro? Thank you for keeping the focus on the compilations themselves.

There's some Koala puppets.

¡I Lost This!

Episode 184 will be RecordTV

I missed the premiere but that's pretty big!

Lockdown means more logo time - more time for me to watch some more.

My favorite idents from HTV are the 1970, 1987, 1993, 1995, and 2001 idents! What are your favorite idents from HTV?
