LWT PROMOS

LWT - The Entertainers
We kick-off with the first incarnation of LWT's 'The Entertainers' series from 1983. This was designed to hammer home LWT's entertainment expertise, promote its contract celebrities, and, of course, enhance local station identity. The Entertainers was introduced at the same time as the 3D LWT ident and the end of in-vision continuity. This series of lively animations backed by upbeat music helped cement the station's new, dynamic look. We have a couple of examples of still slides from The Entertainers on our graphics page.

More from LWT - The Entertainers. In 1985, the series got a fresh look with new animations, though still featuring LWT's local and national on-screen personalities. Two main versions were produced with cuts of different lengths for promo and continuity use. The third video below includes a different version of the theme. Click on each image for the video.

The memorable extended Entertainers promotion (above) was beautifully produced. Michael Aspel (left) with a piece-to-camera variation on the Entertainers theme, promoting specific entertainment shows.

Another classic Entertainers promotion, this time featuring an instantly recognisable tune.

And this version had a more serious score to accompany a corporate, newsy version of The Entertainers. This series of promotions ran from 1983 until 1988, in one form or another, so stay tuned for more below.
