There's an interesting story behind that: BBC2 was supposed to have gone on the air the previous day, but it was delayed because of a power cut. Which is why Dennis Tuohy symbolically blew out that candle
It makes sense, what with the war getting in the way and slowing things down, but somehow I had never realised before that the BBC never reached nationwide coverage untill well into the fifties, and in fact the last BBC region to launch was actually (just) after the first ITV region had launched. I think because BBC Tv had started in 1936, a full 19 years before ITV, I had just previously assumed that the BBC had already been nationwide for a good while before ITV came along.
BBC TV launched in East Anglia later than in many other regions further away from London. BBC2 rolled out around the UK much quicker. I thought BBC2 had reached East Anglia much later than it did
By June 1953, 75% of the population could get a signal. However poor geographical areas; and the need for areas to be included in the right region neccessitated relay stations.( eg North and North Wales could get a signal from either Holme Moss or Sutton Coldfield, but had to wait for Moel Y Parc in 1965 to get BBC Wales) The last VHF 405 line relay/booster stations opened in 1970.
@@MrBobSter82 (Did 2LO do TV? I don't _think_ so.) So as I said not _quite_ 100 yet (in 2024) - certainly not "world" TV, I think BBC World (or predecessor) only started as an international channel around the turn of (this!) century.
And now, in 2021, the BBC rebranded (they don't use Gill Sans anymore, instead they use their own BBC Reith) and all of the former regions from BBC One (excluding the nations) don't distinguish themselves anymore on-air. Since BBC Two doesn't use this practice, only BBC One is affected.
@@nxx99 Yes indeed - I sort of cover that at 9.25. There are now plans for BBC Four to go online only instead and if/when I ever update this video, I will reflect all of that then.
The attitude back then to give a third television service to the BBC rather than ITV that was seen as too downmarket. And even up to the late 1980's, BBC 2 spent more time showing a testcard or pages from Ceefax than any programmes. Mind you BBC1 was not much better.
With the much smaller coverage areas of UHF transmitters, the development of that service would have been much more fragmentary and gradual than shown. Though they may have withheld the actual switch-on until the network was substantially in place. (I didn't know about the last 405 relay not being introduced until 1970!

In 1936 EMI had not yet been formed. (1:15) EMI was formed in *1938* by the merger of *Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd.* and *The Gramophone Company Ltd. During the merged company's earliest years, an engineer at the company, Alan Blumlein had invented and developed the method for recording stereo audio onto a transcription disc, but the shellac material used for commercial-issue records of the day was brittle and noisy, So it wasn't until the late 1950s that the technology would be applied to the more sturdy, and quieter vinyl discs.
BBC TV’s North West region wasn’t created until 1968 (not 1959 as your video says) as they had no way of splitting it until 1964 when the BBC opened the BBC1 VHF C13 transmitter on Winter Hill.
Are you sure BBC2 rolled out as quickly as you put in the video? BBC2 launched in UHF 625-lines only, and to the best of my knowledge, was never put on the North Hessary Tor transmitter. In the south west, BBC2 must have been put on Caradon Hill and Stockland Hill (which already carried Westward TV VHF 405-lines); three more main UHF transmitters Redruth, Beacon Hill and Huntshaw Cross entered service later (possilby by the time BBC1 and Westward had also started UHF 625-lines broadcasting). Not to mention the plethora of relays that had to be added.
You are absolutely correct - as I mention in the notes at the end of the video "Transmission boundaries are indicative only and are not intended to imply that full service coverage was available to regions/nations on date(s) quoted." The rollout of BBC2 (and 625 lines in general) was slow and often sporadic. In the interests of brevity, I tried to indicate when the service became available for the first time in a particular area. Having been brought up in a small town in the very west of Wales, I was often acutely aware that we seemed to be the only ones in the UK not to receive certain services - we weren't, of course: it just SEEMED that way!🙂
Correct me if I am wrong but I didn't think the Channel Islands got a proper off air reception 625 line service until 1976 when the main Fremont Point transmitter was upgraded to 625 lines UHF colour.This meant an improvement in picture quality for BBC1 and ITV Channel previously broadcast in black and white 405 lines only. They could now be broadcast on 625 lines colour, added to which BBC2 could be received for the first time as previously 625 UHF channels could not be received reliably from the mainland apart from possiblly Alderney where long distance signals could be received using large aerials and even then not reliably.
I think that you are correct - which is why the BBC1 and BBC2 idents both appear on the same date - 24 July 1976 - in the video (6:58). Prior to that, it was 405 line broadcasts only - see 3:32
I read somewhere that Rediffusion had a cable service in Jersey in the 1950's that allowed people there to see the Coronation on BBC TV in 1953. Presumably they relayed ITV from the mainland too prior to Channel TV starting. They must have had a good hefty aerial system to reliably pick up the 405 line VHF signals from the mainland to relay by cable. Do you know anything about this and other early cable systems? They must have existed in quite a few places to relay signals beyond the normal range of reception in places still awaiting a local transmitter to open that would properly cover their area.
Thanks, Stuart - if and when I update this I will factor all of that in. Any idea when South East and Yorkshire/Lincolnshire did actually launch if it wasn't then?
The other BBC channels we don't receive show ads. The main BBC could show ads and scrap the licence fee. Their catch-up service, iplayer, is currently the best of the lot.

Thanks for your feedback. I have deliberately not included international channels such as BBC Canada that, as I understand it, are now defunct.

I know this video is from 2021, but a curiosity about the international channel: started as BBC World (I watched 'Top Gear' so many times there), turned into BBC Worldnews and now is called also BBC News
The international news channel was recently merged with the domestic version and - to my mind - is now nowhere near as impressive as its predecessor or indeed as relevant to those outside the UK.
Not UK only - take a look at the Europe timeline - but, you are right, I am UK based so that obviously has a more immediate nostalgic/historic interest for me! 🙂

I don't think Holme Moss and Kirk O'Shotts covered all of the North of England and Scotland as you show on your map, and you are most disingenuous about the South West Region.
I am sorry that you found it lacking but I found it virtually impossible to find start dates for each and every service area and, indeed, make the point in the notes at the end of the video that transmission boundaries are indicative only and not intended to imply that full service coverage was available on the date quoted.
Kirk O Shotts covered Central Scotland from Glasgow to Edinburgh. A huge number of relays and main transmitters where needed to cover the whole of Scotland. Holme Moss covered Lancashire/West Yorkshire; parts of North Yorks: South Yorks. The Coverage area went west to North East Wales.A huge area on Band 1 VHF, however the picture quality varied tremendously.

Bbc news brasil , bbc brasil!
Whilst I believe that there is a BBC Brasil news website, this video only shows linear TV channels. There is no BBC Brasil TV channel as far as I know - at least not when this video was produced.

Let's hope it makes it to 101!

@@tvradiotimelines actually, bbc indo does NOT EXISTED ON TV, the bbc also DIDNT MAKE AN ANNOUCEMMENT ABOUT IT. The date of that is fake. BBC Indonesia is existed on digital platform only. Its a bunch of weird kids from Indonesia just want to do fake-fake international tv one. The only international tv in Indo are CNN and CNBC. There no such thing BBC would start a television in Indonesia.

I don't think Holme Moss and Kirk O'Shotts covered all of the North of England and Scotland as you show on your map, and you are most disingenuous about the South West Region.
I am sorry that you found it lacking but I found it virtually impossible to find start dates for each and every service area and, indeed, make the point in the notes at the end of the video that transmission boundaries are indicative only and not intended to imply that full service coverage was available on the date quoted.
Kirk O Shotts covered Central Scotland from Glasgow to Edinburgh. A huge number of relays and main transmitters where needed to cover the whole of Scotland. Holme Moss covered Lancashire/West Yorkshire; parts of North Yorks: South Yorks. The Coverage area went west to North East Wales.A huge area on Band 1 VHF, however the picture quality varied tremendously.
It’s been 3 months
It does take a LONG time to do the research, find the logos etc and then edit the video!
