For March 2021, ITV brought back 'ITV Kids Create'. Although the templating was much the same as that seen in 2020, the main change this time was to squeeze in their 'collaboration' buzzword somehow. So individual letters of the logo were taken from designs by different children. This very short edit of the news-safe variant first aired into the 6am junction on March 1st 2021.

After Sky withdrew from providing the main text service on Channel 5 in 2002, Teletext Ltd took over, launching an almost identical service on the fifth channel as they already had in place on ITV and Channel 4. This service continued through until the end of 2009, when the company terminated their licence 5 years early due to increasing competition from the internet. Here a sequence from their latter years of 2007, with the top news of the day being an outbreak of H5N1 in the UK. Separate to the commercial service, Channel 5 had their own ancillary service providing supplementary programme information. At this late a stage of its life the main provider of ancillary text services, Intelfax, had officially also closed down, leaving the contract in the hands of a company called Bigstream Interactive... although references to Intelfax can still be found.
