The most northerly, and most wide ITV region is Grampian covering from Dundee up to the Shetland Isles. A difficult region to cover, both from presentation and transmission viewpoints. Launching on 30th September 1961, Grampian Television grew itself immediate financial problems. However through an increase in local programming, Grampian gained itself a local following. In local programming, Grampian reigned supreme throughout the 70's & 80's. Little much more has been heard about the company since outside their broadcasting range, until the merger with Scottish Television's parent in the mid 90's. Nowadays Grampian's programming just looks and feels like its southern partner, and regionalism is now on a national scale.
Reminiscent of ATV's Colour Zoom ident, this is a much cheaper looking version, but still an effective representation of the transformation to colour broadcasts.
Between 1977 & 1980 a darker blue version of the ident above was
used.
Grampian's ident was one of the most famous computer-generated idents ever, forming this logo. This capture was mainly used at the end of local programmes throughout the 1990's. Below are some further examples of Grampian presentation during this era.
