ITV Centre

It's taken nearly 18 months to get this project up and going, but I've done it. Working with my very good friend Rob, I am pleased to announce the launch of the ITV Centre. This website is dedicated to the ITV Network from the beginning of its broadcasts in 1955 to the present day. Not all the pages have been completed, but as the weeks go by, we'll keep updating the site with new material. We are hoping to provide a comprehensive guide to every single ITV region, with details of their history and programming. We also provide information about the other ITV Channels, including ITV2 and the ITV News Channel. We'll also look into features that have made the news, including the ITV Digital fiasco, and the franchise auctions of 1993.

You can find it at www.itvcentre.cjb.net

If you have any material that would be useful, please e-mail admin@itvcentre.cjb.net

Hello there. Thanks for quoting one of my whimsical remarks on your site... I wish you the very best of luck with it.

Hope you don't mind me pointing out an error on your LWT page, but "Mapp and Lucia" were never LWT continuity announcers...

They are fictional characters from the novels of E.F.Benson, as played by Prunella Scales and Geraldine McEwan in an LWT dramatisation....

Ooops... will get onto that!!

Before you ask, I help out with this website as you may have already guessed.

I'm in the process of updating the Westward page and it will be complete by Monday.

You missed Nicholas Owen out of the ITV News Presenters.

Thanks... that's now been added.

UPDATES

Updates to the Westward section with a list of presenters, announcers and people behind the scenes.

I've also launched an MSN group as well, where members can upload their favourite idents... you can find it by clicking

Coming soon - TVS, so if anyone can help, please e-mail admin@itvcentre.cjb.net

Thanks.

This site is supposed to be a joke, right? ... and you brand yourself as 'Davina Free Zone' - well that's a bit silly - being a website about ITV you should be talking about Davina's role at the station.

I don't like Davina, and therefore I don't want to mention her on the site... There's just something about her that makes me want to go nuts...

Its a bit like my Tyne Tees site, I may personally not like one of the presenters, say Mike Neville, but the fact is, if you're providing information about a company, then you generally provide the whole picture, not just the bits you like.

Personal taste has to go to one side and the facts have to be displayed, even the ones you dont really want to show.

That's as maybe, but the site focuses more on the regional companies than the celebrities that make up the ITV Network.

I will see what I can do and change a few things around...

UPDATE
The site has been invaded by adverts. According to the e-mail I've recieved...



Which makes the site look awful. I'm looking to sort this out, so in the meantime, please bear with me. I'm adding some audio to the site as well. Central's first ident in audio has been added, and there is more to come.

As much as I would love to visit your site...I don't "do" CJB sites.
