Channel Television : 2011 Idents
Serving the Channel Islands, Channel Television is the smallest of the ITV regions and had remained independent since its founding in 1962. However in October 2011, it was announced that ITV plc was to acquire the station subject to regulatory approval. In the third week of November 2011, a new set of idents launched to replace the scenery idents used over the past years.
Jersey Cows ident. Notice that the second video - recorded before the 6pm Channel Report on Tuesday 15th November - is slightly different to the first showing at 9.25am as during the day the Channel Television strap has been better aligned under the ITV1 logo.
Ident showing Les Écréhous islands off Jersey. The first video retains the ITV1 2006 'Pride' ident music, whilst the second has the new music and contains a content warning announcement.
Shells at low tide ident. Do you know the location? If so, please leave a comment below.
