Home/HGTV

Idents on Home consist of shots of various homes with small annotations overlaid as the camera pans around. Similar to other UKTV channels, two length variants of their idents exist, with shorter ones usually being used without announcement during daytime, and the longer ones with continuity used during the peak hours. This is a short variant of the version featuring a dog.

In the runup to Discovery's introduction of the HGTV brand to the UK on January 21st, promos were run on the soon to be replaced Home channel. Another channel which had been acquired as part of the UKTV split the previous year.

Home was rebranded as HGTV on 21st January 2020, bringing Discovery's brand from elsewhere to the UK. Off-peak idents on Home under Discovery ownership had not had continuity, and the first launch one for the new HGTV stuck to this approach resulting in a very muted opening at 6am. Idents for the channel consist of colour co-ordinated shots, here all based on blues and complementary colours.
