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.

To mark the anniversary, 'talking heads' related their experiences working for the broadcaster in short promos broadcast between programmes. The Channel at 50 logo was also incorporated into an introduction into a series of programmes looking back at fifty years of Channel's broadcasting in the islands.
