Probably because they, the IBA, were dissolved and replaced by the ITC who will eventually be dissolved themselves along with other regulatory bodies and live on in OFCOM.
The IBA stopped producing it's annual Yearbooks with the 1989 edition, replacing them with a publication called 'Factfile' which incorporated much of the information about the television and radio broadcasting services regulated at the time by the Authority.
When the roles of the IBA was split a few years later into two separate broadcasting regulators for commercial television and radio broadcasting, two separate publications were produced.
'Factfile' continued to be produced by the IBA's predecessor, the ITC, for listing information about commercial television broadcasters, while the Radio Authority published a Pocket Book, listing details for commercial radio broadcasters.
In fact, the Radio Authority has recently published it's last Pocket Book, and I would guess that the ITC has published it's last 'Factfile' as well, in advance of the changes to the broadcasting regulators.

Don't you mean "the IBA's successor" as in replacement? You've suggested that the the ITC came before the IBA and thus that the ITC published something that the people who came after them started originally. Bit backwards for want of a wrong word, yes?

Yes, I apologise for that.. I did mean to say in my original posting that the ITC was the successor to the IBA. Thank you for pointing that out.
Also, it looks like that site was last updated before the TV Logos font ever existed.
When that site was last updated, the IT= logo was still current.
And, it says, Grampian were still using the original 1989 ident sequence. In fact according to that, if you ignored the "What's New" history, you'd think they're still using a 14yr old ident sequence.
