This is a timeline of the history of the British broadcaster Channel Television (now known as ITV Channel Television). It provides the ITV service for the Channel Islands.

1960s

  • 1961
    • September – Channel gets permission to install a microwave relay station on the northern island of Alderney that would connect with another ITV station, initially Westward Television.[2]
  • 1963
    • 3 March – Channel launches a children's series called Puffin's Pla(i)ce. It is broadcast each week for the next 50 years, until it was moved online in 2013.
  • 1964
    • Channel is given a three-year extension to its licence. This is later extended by a further year.
  • 1965
    • No events.
  • 1966
    • No events.
  • 1968
    • 2 August – A technicians strike forces ITV off the air for several weeks although management manage to launch a temporary ITV Emergency National Service with no regional variations.
  • 1969
    • No events.

1970s

  • 1970
    • Channel formalises its relationship with Westward Television allowing a greater share of programming between the two franchise holders.[2]
  • 1971
    • Channel enables a microwave link between Guernsey and Channel's headquarters on Jersey. This means that live studio contributions from the island to be broadcast for the first time.
    • Channel's listings magazine Channel Viewer is closed and is replaced by a localised version of TVTimes.
  • 1972
    • 16 October – Following a law change which removed all restrictions on broadcasting hours, ITV is able to launch an afternoon service. Channel does launch an afternoon service but it continues to restrict its broadcasting hours and it isn't until the middle of the 1980s that Channel broadcasts all day, every day.
  • 1973
    • 17 December – The British government imposes early close downs on BBC1, BBC2 and ITV in order to save electricity during the Three-Day Week crisis. This meant Channel Television would have to end its broadcast day at around 10:30pm. The restrictions were lifted from Christmas Eve 1973 until 6 January 1974, allowing people to enjoy the festive season programmes. The restrictions returned on Monday 7 January 1974.
  • 1974
    • 8 February – The required early close downs of all UK television channels is lifted. Channel had been badly affected by the restrictions due to the loss of advertising revenue caused by the early close downs.
    • The 1974 franchise round sees no changes in ITV's contractors as it is felt that the huge cost in switching to colour television would have made the companies unable to compete against rivals in a franchise battle.
  • 1975
    • No events.
  • 1976
    • 5 January – Channel Report is broadcast for the first time. The name continues to be used until 2013.
    • 26 July – Channel begins broadcasting in colour, seven years after colour first started to be broadcast elsewhere in the UK. Delays were due to the cost of upgrading the studios and purchasing new equipment and due to the technical difficulties in providing a UHF link from the UK mainland to the Channel Islands.[3]
  • 1977
    • All local programming is now made in colour.
  • 1978
    • No events.
  • 1979
    • Channel becomes the first ITV region to introduce electronic news-gathering (ENG) to its local news operation.[2]
    • August to October – Channel is the only ITV region to continue to broadcast during the ten-week ITV strike because the unions realised action there could force the station out of business as its audience was so small it was vulnerable to any loss of advertising revenue, which would therefore act against the interests of a trade union's purpose of maintaining employment for its members. Channel provided a service based mainly on films, imports, extended local news coverage and regional programming.
