TV Live is celebrating 70 years of ITV with a special series exploring every regional company that has shaped the network since 1955. From pioneering broadcasters to beloved local institutions, each company has played a unique role in the evolution of British television.

Among its early pioneers was ABC Weekend Television, a station that played a pivotal role in bringing entertainment to millions across the Midlands and the North. Though its era was relatively short-lived, its impact on the industry was anything but. Join us as we take a journey through ITV’s rich and diverse history, one region at a time.
