I didn't even know L!ve TV even had any local opt outs!

That final closedown was shown on Channel 4's 100 greatest TV moments from hell back in 2000- though the clip they showed was timecoded.

I don't think that final revamp and logo was in use for long at all. When L!ve TV made a return a few years later (seemingly only showing repeats of old content), they went back to using older idents.

I don’t know how many opts they had throughout the country, but there was certainly a Manchester L!ve service. 

When it rebranded, I believe it was in June, if not July 1999, essentially a last throw of the dice for the channel. The Kelvin Mackenzie novelties had certainly worn off by this time, and those who did have access to the channel were mostly watching it for its late night output.
