The TV Room was launched in 1999.  The site charts the history of television branding and presentation graphics on UK and Irish television, from the pioneering days of broadcasting right up to the present day.  Our sister site, The TV Room Plus, was launched in 2003.  There you will find a wealth of information relating to television continuity announcers, presenters, programme title sequences and graphics, promotion packages, old television listings and much more.

Neither The TV Room or The TV Room Plus has any direct connection with any of the broadcasting organisations featured on their pages.  If you wish to comment on any aspect of a broadcaster's output, you will need to contact the broadcaster directly.

We are sorry but we cannot provide copies of material featured on The TV Room or The TV Room Plus.
