Roddy Buxton's Thames logo parade WWW site, Nov. 6, 2001 ("Thames Television began life as the ITV franchise holder for London on weekdays. It started broadcasting at the end of July 1968 ... The end caption for Thames said simply From Thames and later From Thames in Colour. Jeremy Rogers writes, 'Thames used the phrase ... at the end of its own programmes until about 1973 when they introduced the copyright statement.' Then they went for the more usual Thames Colour Production, although the other captions remained for programmes which they didn't make themselves (for which other ITV companies would have used Colour Presentation).")
