OK Top 5
1. ATV/Central (they are the same thing such as same programming but the cakes were brilliant identifiers)
2. Thames (even though they lost their franchise whilst I was only 1 and even lived in the north, yet programming they were good)
3. Yorkshire (the fact they really cared about their region and the civic pride they shown for it as opposed to my region, which like Carlton later became interested in expansion. Being a product of the 90s, their rotating gold chevron ident was a lovely ident and loved the background effects which were quite soothing)
4. Border (similar to Yorkshire in local pride but it was my holiday region in the 90s. Also love their 90s water background ident which was very soothing)
5. Granada (my region, decent programmes, plus the idents were grand even for its ills in later life)
Honorable mentions to LWT (programmes and branding), Meridian (logo mainly), Scottish (similar to Yorkshire, like the Thistle idents and see TVS though don't rate them much now) and TVS (SatAM shows and started off How2 and Art Attack who Scottish took over in 1992)
Dishonorable mention: C@rlt*n
