Independent Television Service for Wales and the West

Background

This was an interim TV service, set up by ITV between the shutdown of TWW and the launch of HTV.

(March-May 19 1968)

Logo: On a black background, 4 white bars are seen at the distance. They shoot forward a bit, and the bars become "INDEPENDENT TELEVISION SERVICE" and either "Teledu Cymru" or "Wales & the West" for the last bar, with each appearing one by one and in sync with the music.

FX/SFX: The bars shooting forward, the name appearing.

Music/Sounds: 4 echoing synth notes, starting with 3 ascending, and descending with a lower tone for the last.

Availability: Long extinct. The logo was only used as an ident for a couple of months. There's a flash remake of this logo on 625.uk.com.

Editor's Note: None.
