1953 Television audience exceeded radio audience for the first time (Coronation).

2001 The corporate blue, spinning hearts idents of HTV are adapted to reflect that the company is now owned by Carlton. The jingle and opening visuals from the corporate Carlton idents were merged with the ending of the original HTV idents to produce a strange hybrid.
