Tyne tees, as well as bus adverts, also had an advert, around the baggage carousel at Newcastle Airport. It was double sided. One side read "Welcome home to Tyne Tees Television", and the other said "Tyne Tees - The view of the North". What was interesting was, both sides used the yellow TTTV logo of 1979, and not the 1991 TTTV logo, the metallic silver one.
In the mid to late 1980s, when Ribble owned the NBC depot at Carlisle (it passed in 1986 to Cumberland), they had a Leyland Atlantean in an advertising livery for Border Television, and around the same time, Ulster Television paid Citybus in Belfast to paint a Bristol RELL single decker in a livery for them.

Stumbled on this Alamy stock image when searching the Border bus ad:

Given its 1950s date on the title, probably a pre-launch campaign for Border?
