The product of a merger between Associated-Rediffusion and ABC, Thames took over from the former as the ITV station for London on Mondays to Fridays on 30 July 1968. After losing its franchise to Carlton in the 1991 ITV franchise auction, it ceased broadcasting on 31 December 1992 and became an independent production company.

In 2003, it was merged with fellow subsidiary Talkback to form TalkbackThames; programmes made by this company are listed in the Talkback category.
