Julka1 - What are/ were the microwave links (I saw the transmitters)? What sort of devices relied upon these?

Microwave links were (are) line of sight directional transmitters that were (are) used to relay radio and TV transmissions from the point of broadcast i.e. a studio across a region and out to strategically positioned onmi-directional transmitters. Microwave towers were usually located on hills to overcome the geography of distributing the signals from A to B to C etc.

How can such a jolly happy tune have such a doom-laden final chord!

Very early-70s AM radio sounding, I like it!

Great stuff from a golden age of TV. If they still had these to wake up to, I wouldn't feel so bloody depressed about having to get out of bed in the morning :)

I find that an odd thing to come out with about a start up for ATV, least of all because they lost their franchise for being more interested in making programmes for Birmingham Alabama than Birmingham England.

The second and better of the two mid 1970s ATV start-up films. Graet memories here.
