How are you all doing under quarantine? For some it’s easy, for others it’s a nightmare. We get that. There’s a mix of both here at TBS Action-Central.
To help while away the hours, we’ve selected six articles you can usefully use to fill in some time. They’re a mix of our most popular over the last 20 years on the internet and some of our personal favourites. We’re not telling you which is which.
Binge on the lot, or bookmark this page and savour one a day over next week. The choice is yours.
START HERE | Where to begin with the massive hobby that is “broadcasting”? Let us help with a whistlestop tour of the history of broadcasting in Britain.
THE EDIT THAT REWROTE HISTORY | We all know the story: on 1 September 1939, in the middle of ‘Touchdown Mickey’, BBCtv was abruptly pulled off-air for 6 years. Except that’s not what happened.
BACKBONE | Behind the scenes of behind the scenes, the method of networking television across the UK is fascinating.
BUILDING UP ABC | On our ABC-TV subsite, Howard Thomas explains how he took an idea – commercial television on weekends – and turned it into a dynamic production hub.
PIRATE RADIOS: THE STORM IS ABOUT TO BREAK | In 1966, the Illustrated London News asks if off-shore radio – Caroline, Big L, Britain Radio – can survive as the government tries to drive them off the airwaves.
START THE CAR | And finally… cabin fever has set in at TBS, so we asked Every 14 Year Old Ever to tell us about ITV daily start-ups.
