Central clock - swaggyboi128 - 10-04-2021
According to 625.uk.com, "ATV's digital clock was the last image broadcast by the company as it closed down for the final time, 34 minutes into the first day of 1982. Later that morning, Central was born. Its clock used the same digits, this time superimposed onto a Central caption." But I have not seen any sign of this clock, as every bit of pre-news continuity I've seen has either been in-vision or over an ident or slide. I was wondering if there was any evidence of this clock left on the internet.

Believe the Central clock (which as above was essentially a rehashed ATV one with the new logo on it) didn't last very long, in fact this video suggests they'd dumped it by March 1982:

Not entirely sure when they stopped showing it, but I suspect it may not have even seen out January 1982.

I can see it now, and I can tell why it didn't last long.
