ABC TV Start up _ ITA Picasso tuning signal, 1960s

[CHEAPEXCUSE]

THE INTERNET IS NOT! REPEAT NOT ABC TV, IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO TV WHEN IT WAS PROPERLY PRODUCED. PLEASE QUIT TRYING TO PRETEND THE INTERNET IS TV

BECAUSE THE INTERNET PALES IN COMPARISON, SHODDY? I THINK SO

[CHEAPEXCUSE]

WHY? PLEASE CAN YOUR SILLY ASS TELL ME WHY?

Pity the ABC Fanfare and symbol is missing from the end of this. It's one that is very famous with two versions of the ABC fanfare 28 seconds and 40 seconds. It was on the DVD of original startups that Transdiffusion made some years ago.

What do you mean channel B (whatever number)?

"Perpetuum Mobile", by Mike Roberts. A pretty ropey string orchestra if I ever heard one!

Thames Television used the same start-up music from 1968 to the early 1980s.

I am sure that Thames Television used the same start up tune as the one heard in this clip

[scorpiofootiemad]

Yes,as they were a shotgun marriage of ABC and Redifusion,this tune was the first tune of the Thames start-up,and then the Salute To Thames piece was played over the Thames logo,the opening notes were heard at the start of a Thames produced programme.

[AidanLunn]

No. the transmitter is called Emley Moor. I live just a few miles away from the damn thing!

[scorpiofootiemad]

I have seen that transmitter,near Huddersfield isn't it?

[AidanLunn]

yep

[MattemoTV]

Haha! I used to think the Emley Moor transmitter was named after someone called Emily Moore too!

[avidutubewatcher]

amazing what people record - great for historical purposes

[scorpiofootiemad]

This is what we Midlanders had at the weekends,but with Lichfield as the tx name.
