The very last few editions being shown on ITV, with the 10 minute gap being closed up, great to see these 1983 editions simultaneously shown on ITV/ CH4 And On S4C Transmitters thank you for sharing these,
I so remember watching these broadcasts all the way from early ones on ITV especially from 1977 and the latter ones right up to being shown in 1990 at 5.45am So setting the VCR to record them :-)
I think they expressed some frustration, when they moved to C4/S4C only, that info on fourth channel tx commissioning wouldn't reach those who needed it most, but dealers (if not all aerial installers) at least had Oracle access.
Aah..... When TV was proper TV!.....
"as fast as 80 kbit/s"
Existing cable operators will no longer be obliged to relay traditional TV channels as long as they provide a TV aerial as replacement, so that spelled the end to Rediffusion and British Relay who pioneered cable TV.
The main problem in our town with British Relay was that it was installed property to property in a continuous chain. This was fine when all the properties were council owned, but with Margaret Thatcher introducing right-to-buy many of these new property owners resented having cables running round their house for a service they were not using.
John Lovell and Barbara Dickson (later Barbara Dorward) are your OOV presenters this week.
Not the same Barbara Dickson who sang with Elaine Paige I presume!
No, not the same.
Wow, Cable came a long way from the proposals then, to when we had it in the 90's (before we got Sky)
What is this amazing music called? It sounds like a Keith Mansfield piece to me.
@@poggs no, it is a different tune altogether
@@poggs That was used as the theme when Engineering Announcments moved to Channel 4, a short few weeks after this broadcast.
It's actually called Astral Sounds - Rotohead, thanks to The Soundtrack by Blog Đào Lê Minh who answered a similar question under another video
