The ITV map of Britain
ITV began as a patchwork of regional companies, each with its own idents, presenters and programmes. Here is every region, then and now.
13 regions, from London (1955) to the Channel Islands (1962). Each page lists the companies that held the licence, programmes made there, today's regional news and local clubs' fixtures.
