Last Updated: February 11, 2020

Late 1999 to October 2002  

YTV commissioned what appeared to be the most regional set of idents ever made by an ITV company.  If you could "regionalise" local idents what would you do?  40 location idents were made filming the surroundings of Yorkshire towns & cities.

All the video downloads on this page contain consistent imagery...

Firstly, the customary VT clock, displaying the title, identID, and date of production.

Secondly, the ident starts. There were two versions available for YTV staff to use, one with an 8 second formup (as identified as part of the identID; the example above showing Y-Indus8, the 8 being the duration for continuity to wait before announcement).  The second version is a pre-formed version, resolved to its final state.

Thirdly, the animation disappears after 20 seconds, with the music bed continuing for another 10 seconds after.  These copies were specially made for training purposes where the blackout identifies the point where the announcement should have finished (with the programme "butting in" to the video).

Other versions  

Finally, some more general versions away from the towns & cities theme.  This time we have a general "industrial" ident (away from the similar 1999 Generic ITV ident at that time).  We also have some "busy" people in town, and a local legend (any guesses at a name?)

These idents are great. They should have been used all the time instead of the hearts
