Yorkshire Television began in 1968, after the northern franchise was split, with Granada Television continuing to broadcast to the north-west. Two companies applied for the new franchise; "Telefusion Yorkshire Ltd" and "Yorkshire Independent Television", the companies eventually performed a 'shotgun marriage' becoming Yorkshire Television. Their symbol was the Chevron.

1969–1994

During the beginning of the 1970s, ITV broadcast in colour for the first time. In 1987, Yorkshire aired its Liquid Gold ident, which at the time cost £40,000 (~£110,000 in 2019) to make.
