BBC English Regions

A North East and Cumbria version of the COW ident from 1986. The beginning of the script hasn't changed much 17 years later!

No sign of Cumbria here, it's one big region for the North at the BBC in 1996.

The North East and Cumbria version of the Dancers idents. They had only one ident for the North East for more than a year after the relaunch... nothing like running one into the ground is there!

A Yorkshire and Lincolnshire variation on the Balloon idents.

BBC2's regional ident for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Another regional dancer ident! Yes, there's actually more than a single variant!

BBC2's bounce ident, complete with abbreviated name in the box again!

BBC2 in the North West. The regional variation of Blade.

The North West version of bounce. Boy, doesn't the announcement over it sound familiar!

Tai Chi... and Manchester has never looked better!

At launch, regional variations of BBC One HD were not available. Although the nations were added in the following years, as of 2016 the full rollout to regions was postponed with an expectation for it to come after the next charter renewal. As a result of this, regional slots on the channel are replaced either with trailers or with a slide advising people to tune to standard definition BBC One. The first showing of this was in the 8pm brief news update on BBC One.

The actual regional news slot on BBC One HD for the 10 O'Clock news, giving us a chance to see some more of that slide. Trust me, after 6 years it'll get old...

The West region's variant of the BBC One balloon from 1999.
