Precisely 1st January 1988 when frontcaps were dropped (sometime during 1983 when they were ditched during CITV) - though I think YTV had a practice of retaining their Liquid Gold ident for most, if not all, network output (even if the ident itself was bypassed)

Seem to recall the ident appeared at the top of Series 2 (1989) repeats of The New Statesman on what was Paramount Comedy.

For whatever reason, certain enthusiasts have considered the dropping of the frontcaps as "the beginning of the end" for regional ITV, which always seemed a rather silly opinion to hold, IMO.
