I'm very much in favour of Accurizer's proposal to merge Central News South into this article. There is little or nothing to be said about the three Central News programmes to make decent standalone articles. But expanding the existing sections in this article would be of benefit to the general reader and to the article itself.
I recommend Accurizer be bold and do it, redirecting the pretty empty CNS article to this one. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 22:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The list of names in Central News South and Central News West differs from the list in Central Independent Television. I would like someone familiar with the programs (ahem... programmes) to confirm which list(s) are accurate. Accurizer 22:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
How about merging them all into one new article, Central News? I don't think that one particular programme should dominate this article. --kingboyk 02:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've always liked Central's colourful logos, and the jingles that accompanied their idents[1][2]. Central had several of their big logos mounted on walls of the reception area at their studios on Broad Street[3]. -- Jack Blueberry (t)⁄(c) • 17:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please stop listing After Henry as a Central programme? It was most definitely a Thames programme (and, I suppose, previously a BBC Radio 4 series). RobinCarmody 11:00 pm BST, 31 July 2006
On29 December 2006, the following ITV companies officially changed their names:
See http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk and search under "ITV" - URL linking is not supported. So that signalled the death knell for HTV then. Marbles 19:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Centraltv-90logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I realise this may be a controversial proposal, but here goes. The company has been legally known as ITV Central since the end of 2006 (this can be checked at Companies House), and the channel has been identified as such on air for some considerable time. Central Independent Television no longer exists in any tangible form. The same applies to Meridian Broadcasting, HTV and Border Television. Gr1st (talk) 12:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than being pedantic, how about we just admit what is for all intents and purposes the is case; that these companies don't really exist any more. Rather than treating HTV, Central Independent Television, Carlton television and all the others as present day broadcasters, treat them as former ITV franchisees like [TWW or TVS, with the scope of the articles ending the day ITV plc was formed*. Then just stick an explanation that the registered businesses still exist in a legal sense, with parts of the former operations now subdivisions of ITV, and named as such. The current day history of these companies could then be continued at ITV plc.
There is already an established precedent for this with Associated TeleVision. Associated TeleVision did not loose its franchise nor did it cease to exist as a company, rather it was restructured and renamed, in much the same way as is the case with the amalgamations which lead to ITV plc. If you applied the same logic to this article as is being applied here, the Associated TeleVision article wouldn't exist, rather it would be part of Central Independent Television, and in turn ITV Central, which would just be plain stupid. Furthermore, it is also highly likely that the regional identities of ITV will one day vanish altogether, so if we followed this logic to its extreme, one day everything would just end up as one article!
We need some common sense here: These companies prior to the mergers and take-overs, are of important encyclopaedic importance. When you weigh it up, they are more important than the internal structures of what is now ITV plc and should be treated as such, just as common sense dictates that Associated TeleVision and Central Independent Television warrant two separate articles.
(* As an aside, I'd also like to put the idea out that Central Independent Television and Westcountry Television end at the point at which they become Carlton Television with the latter covering three franchise areas, rather than just London Weekdays)

The image Image:Carltonitv1.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

What is the font Central used from 1982 to 1998? 123.2.142.50 (talk) 03:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. That explains it. 123.2.142.50 (talk) 03:47, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see how we can move forward with this detail. The problem is, information about central is very thin on the ground on the internet, which is somewhat surprising, thus this page needs to hold as much information (even in a summary form) as possible for the reader/users to get a good grip. A number of other ITV pages do contain a good amount of details even after a umpteen other people "copyed edited the pages" since I slotted in much needed new information. It seems the consinces seems to be moving towards Full detailed page while not over-whiling the reader. Of course making sure what is placed here has to be useful hence the reason the new TSMS page which was created freeing up space. Where would you place the detailed information into history, operations, programming? Other problem is the edit to Question of Leadership is still misleading. one point--IBA never stopped the series going ahead nor did it reduced it to a two parts. If it helps I will upload copy of the main report?--Crazyseiko (talk) 13:48, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
