Meridian Television was the holder of the ITV franchise in the South East of England. The station was launched on January 1, 1993, replacing TVS. It was sold to Granada in 2000, which later renamed it ITV Meridian in 2002, and since 2004, it became an in-name-only unit of ITV.
Variants:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.
Music/Sounds Variant:
Availability: Seen at the end of Meridian programs like How 2, Wizadora, Zzzap, Delta Wave, Sooty's Amazing Adventures, Ruth Rendell Mysteries (starting from season 7) and Hornblower movies.
Editor's Note: None.
Variant: During the night hours, the finished product would be shown first, then the main animation was played in reverse, and then played forwards again.
FX/SFX: The colors radiating, and the forming of the logo. Really nice computer-generated effects here, which continue to hold up over twenty years later.
Music/Sounds: An uplifting fanfare with a four-note horn sounder, which faded out once the logo had fully formed up and the "STEREO/888" text appeared.
Music/Sounds Variant: A more soothing rendition of the fanfare, which had a piano in place of the horn, was sometimes used. Other times it used a reggae version of the theme (mainly at weekends) - and all three renditions were composed by David Dundas, who previously composed the "ITV Generic" theme.
Availability: Extinct. However, logo enthusiasts have, much like the logos of many other ITV regional franchises, preserved this on websites such as TVArk.
Editor's Note: Some people might be caught off-guard by the sudden appearances of the rows of crystalline sun rays at the start of the normal variant.
FX/SFX: The bubble and particles' movements, the formation of the Meridian logo, and the moving striped background.
Music/Sounds: A remix of the Meridian fanfare from before with electronic beeping. A softer rendition of the theme was used for certain, more "serious" programs (such as the Meridian News), and a different version was used at night-time.
Availability: Same as the second logo.
Editor's Note: This logo is very peaceful, but some people could get caught off guard by the abruptness.
FX/SFX: The Meridian logo revolving into place, and the text appearing. But on this occasion, the symbol's "face" is slightly out of proportion.
Music/Sounds: Same as the third logo.
Availability: Same as the second and third logos.
Editor's Note: It may be less abrupt than before, but some people may still get caught off guard by the logo rotating into place and the music.
See ITV.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Uncommon, used for production during the years of takeover by Granada. Appeared on seasons 1 and 2 of The Last Detective, William & Mary and the latter Hornblower movies. However, it can be plastered with Granada or ITV logos on future releases.
Editor's Note: None.
