Yorkshire TV Continuity Junctions1983
Two full continuity clips here - both clips tell us what is currently on Channel 4 as well as using a holding slide to introduce the next programme. The left clip also features a programme trail for "The Bounder."
Continuity - World Of Sport / Quincy1980s
In the first half of the 1980s YTV introduced its programmes with a holding caption rather than with an ident, as shown in these two continuity clips.
Continuity - Battlestar Galactica / Happy Days1980s
The left clip includes the final moments of the promo informing viewers of the area's commercial radio stations. The promo was also often played as part of the closedown sequence.
Continuity - Gemini Man1980s
An introduction from the Christmas period, as indicated by the YTV logo on the holding slide becoming the YTV bauble.
Yorkshire TV Continuity Junction1985
Saturday morning continuity from Redvers Kyle. YTV was still using holding slides in 1985 to introduce programmes.
Some stills of more YTV holding slides
Saturday on Yorkshire Promo1985
From the same morning as the previous clip, a trailer and more continuity.
Closedown1985
As part of its closedown sequence, Yorkshire Television played a promotion for the region's commercial radio stations. Incidentally, YTV was one of the few regions which did not play the national anthem at closedown, preferring to fade to black after the closedown announcement over the clock.
Turn to Yorkshire PromoMid 1980s
Get up on your roof and Turn your Aerial to Yorkshire. Hmm I don't think Tyne Tees were too impressed!
(See the leaflet YTV produced in our Gallery page)
ITV - The Best Takes Promo1987
Would you stand in front of a moving lorry? Well apparently ITV would do. They'll do "Whatever It Takes."
Party Political Broadcast - Mistake1987
How not to do it but YTV viewers get to hear some Thames continuity with lots of apologies. Redvers eventually tells us they are "looking into it technically and hope to get something soon" but the gremlins win.
ILR Promo1987
A rundown of the ILR stations in the YTV region. This promo was usually shown as part of the closedown routine.
Yorkshire Wednesday Promo1987
A Sporting Triangle is the main focus of this promo which includes a mention of two other programmes over a full listing of Wednesday evening's programmes.
Continuity1987
By 1987 YTV was using a rotating chevron to introduce its programmes and, on this occasion, Graham Roberts used it instead of the YTV clock to introduce News At Ten. This clip also includes a local advert.
YTV Promo1988
A flock of rainbow coloured chevrons introduce us to a trail for "People Do The Funniest Things".
