the first advert on ITV was for toothpaste, but this was in black & white I believe, if that's any help?
ITV (Independent Television) is a public service network of British commercial television broadcasters. ITV was first launched in 1955. Over the years many of the companies that formed the ITV network have merged into larger groupings. Today ITV is owned by ITV plc which operates 11 of the 15 regional companies. ITV plc was formed by the merger of Granada plc and Carlton Communications in 2004. Granada and Carlton own the ITV1 brand and use the name Channel 3 as their legal name.
The first program broadcast on ITV (Independent Television) in the UK was "The Grove Family," which aired on September 22, 1955. It was a soap opera that followed the lives of a fictional family living in London. The launch of ITV marked the beginning of commercial television in the UK, providing an alternative to the BBC, which had been the sole broadcaster since 1936. This inaugural broadcast set the stage for a diverse range of programming on ITV.
ITV plc was created in 2004.
