''' | '''ITV1''' is a British free-to-air commercial television network. It was launched in September 22, 1955 as '''Independent Television''' to provide competition to the government-funded [[BBC Television|BBC]]. Since the passing of the Broadcasting Act 1990, its legal name has been '''Channel 3''' to distinguish it from the other analogue channels at the time, [[BBC One|BBC1]], [[BBC Two |BBC2]] and [[Channel 4]]. Once being a federation of separate regional companies, today, ITV1 serves most of the United Kingdom under a unified brand (except for Scotland with [[Scottish Television/STV|STV]], and Northern Ireland with [[Ulster Television/UTV|UTV]]). | ||

'''Legacy:''' This was an unpopular logo among many, due to the consolidation of the unique visual identities of ITV into one. Though at least it tried to keep the original regional logos (with the exception of Border Television's symbol) unlike it's successors. | '''Legacy:''' This was an unpopular logo among many, due to the consolidation of the unique visual identities of ITV into one.
