  London Weekend Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However LWT has had a disproportionate effect on post-war British Television, as a number of high-flying media personalities including John Birt, Michael Grade and Greg Dyke were all "LWT Boys".
The programme was followed by a celebratory montage of LWT presentation across the years assembled by senior ITV presentation producer Gareth Randall, with announcers Glenn Thomsett and Trish Bertram appearing "in-vision" to toast the departing station.
The LWT logo continued to appear at the end of its programmes however until 31 October 2004.

Gareth requested I added a long hold to the end of the LWT 79 ident as it now seemed likely that they could run the ident before a programme (although it had not yet been decided which one) and then do the announcement into the programme with the ident held on screen.
