It was only used on Saturdays to begin with, but one weekend in the early seventies they started using it regularly on Sundays as well, and ditched the other music that they used to use on that day.
Ulster Television never bothered with it - unless it was Christmas morning, or if they were actually producing it, which they couldn't do until they had a proper OB-Unit in the 1980s - I believe they were basically told to have one by the IBA as part of the 1980 franchise-round, & even then that was only a couple of times per year. Besides enjoying a lie-in until 11.00 & showing either 'Link' or 'Getting-On', I think they also had the notion that everyone in Northern Ireland was either going to their place of worship, or were worried that they would be criticised for putting people-off from doing-so.
The most fantastic off all voice-overs on the London Weekend trail was by Keith Martin. I know that is fact as i was there, sincerely Keith Martin!

Poor old Croydon, still TXing 405 lines back in ‘75 ☺
Many thanks - A Well Swung Fanfare is excellent. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't recall LWT using in-vision continuity announcers in the mornings.
The ATV logo 3:23 is from a UK airing of “The Muppet Show”.
Do You Have Saturday Morning start-up circa 1975?
What happened to former LWT presenter Alec Taylor please?.
He's still alive

I sure that piece of start up music was never used on a Sunday?
