Abstract
This article extends existing work in Television Studies on branding through a study of rebranding practices. To this end, the discussion takes the mainstream UK commercial broadcaster ITV's 2013 rebranding as a case study and examines both the institutional contexts motivating change and the construction of its altered brand image through publicity materials. Engaging with the latter allows for strategies of what I have called brand reconciliation to be discussed as, despite focusing on the channel' s contemporary output, publicity stills demonstrating the channel' s new logo attempt to activate popular audience memories of the broadcaster and unite its'past' and' present' incarnations.
