To keep with the historical theme that's been around for a few weeks, what do you think was the best ITV regional startup tune?

My favourite is the Yorkshire TV Start-up which used the Calendar Theme Tune from the 1980's

I wouldn't go for their ident music as that was depressing but the Southern TV 1960's start-up music is very good...

LWT's start up music was called "A Well Swung Fanfare" and was performed by the Oscar Brandenburg Orchestra, who were incidentally also a supplier of a great deal of Testcard music for the BBC.

The track appeared on a compilation called "Girl in a Suitcase" a few years ago.

It'd be a ridiculously long one, and people would keep saying, 'what about...', and you couldn't edit it.
