	Westward Television \| Ident
		In the first Westward ident, the galleon is shot end on, against a photographic background of waves in a circle in the centre of the screen.
		Westward dropped the print logo from their second ident, and interestingly shot the galleon rotating into a side view in negative against an optically printed fl background.
		Westward’s galleon is a classic for the same reason that ATV or Thames’s are classics - the ident succeeds in encapsulating the ethos of the company in ten seconds.

		It is no secret that Westward TV was run on a shoestring and announcers at the station were expected to 'multi-skill' - it was always all hands to the deck on Westward's tight ship, as announcers doubled as newsreaders, voiceover artistes, promotion writers, and programme presenters.
		Westward lost its franchise for a number of reasons, but mainly because of boardroom strife that erupted after the station's flamboyant and outspoken founder, Peter Cadbury, launched an unsuccessful airline venture, 'Air Westward' in the
