Next maybe have local tv channels that don’t exist ( not companies )

How many shows manage to get lightning in a bottle twice? Chris/Gaby era was awesome and so original and refreshing. Johnny/Denise era was even better in my opinion. I remember the crushing morning of turning on the telly after the school holidays and seeing the Rick/Sharron era had kicked in and being gutted, didn't work from the get-go (Rick was awesome on other shows as you said) Also, hadn't realised Johnny got the gig after covering a holiday. Graham Norton did the same for Jack Docherty and the rest was history! I'd be too scared to take a break if I was a presenter 😁

Man those are so good I could watch the entire series like that, I hope you will still do more fandubs of telechat!

I was there working for one of the channels you disparaged. Your synopsis is poorly researched, a failed attempt at being sensational and just shows your complete ignorance about what actually happened.

2:50 BeKids sure does sound like a channel that would air on Freeview channel 86, if it wasn't for kids.

The Children's Channel (TCC) is the BEST!!! Thomas & Friends aired on that channel!!! I Wish it was still alive & kicking & also here's some missed opportunities for TCC: 1. air Thomas & Friends from 1987-1998/2000 because I love that show & I can imagine was the promos & airings look like from 1987-1998/2000 2. Air The Magical World of Gigi from late 1985-1998/2000 because the 1st ova was only released in the UK & the USA. I love the opportunity to air the show on TCC from late 1985-1998/2000 & I also want vhs releases from The Video Collection from 1986-late 1995, toys by Hasbro from 1985-late 1990 & many merch from 1985-late 1993 & 3. Air Mio Mao from 1984-1998/2000 because why not.

Sharon Davies the Olympic swimmer 🏊‍♀️ ♥️ 😮😮😮

Yeah, the whole generic name thing is not just a UK problem lol. We have (or had, making a video on that at some point in the future) an over-the-air channel in the US that was known as "This TV" which was a name I always despised for the same reason. Not sure when the deep dive into that is gonna happen because it's going to take me way too long to find footage for it because of that terrible name. Hello from America, love seeing some of these broadcast oddities from other parts of the world considering our own homegrown ones are really just scratching the surface.

I loved “Trouble”, so nostalgic

The RTL Klub Hungary logo from the early 2000-s. Especially the first startup ident with a spaceship dropping an egg which breaks midair and the red-white-green (the biggest color was red) logo jumping out and freezing for 1 minute.

That tune that came in at 5.40 is some vapourwave lovelyness. Is there a link

MCI Worldcom wasn't a Cable company, not in the UK anyway. Did you know BT was behind MCI before it acquired the collapsing worldcom business. Today it is Verizon Business. It was national fibre network competing against Mercury/C&W and Energis. Colt,scottish Telecom,Norweb/your communications and thus also sprung up with most of these taken over by Cable & Wireless and themselves taken over by Vodafone in 2012. Vodafone is the 2nd largest fixed line communications network when you combine the amount of fibre and coverage. Virgin Media ia much smaller because it is not fibre to the premises and most customers are residential ones

Looking forward to the Crowdstrike outage video.

This is my favourite thing you do

The music slaps

I was in the Cable Midlands area (another Nick Ross area - he got around quite a bit, didn't he!) I've found very little archive material online but can perhaps fill in a few blanks from memory if useful.

That trip Noel took to see the Prime Minister with Mr Blobby was always a mistake, but the moment Blobby saw that big red button...

Can you mention TVI and the Vidéoway/Tron boxes?

20:06 Small brother would be just 8-13 year olds or known as Big Brother Kids that is 8-13 years old

23:47 OH NOOOOOO NOT THE RICK ROLLER

RIP the box Yall we will miss u and ur brothers

Gotta love seeing Guru Larry

Although I'm American, I've researched CITV to learn more about the fall of TV. And I have to agree CITV seemed to be at it's peak during the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s [I'm a 2000s person but I always preferred older cartoons]. Engie Benjy is one of the best CITV programs IMO, the show had chaotic energy and dry British sarcasm. It probably helps the show that Cosgrove Hall were the ones responsible. I'm still mad ITV shut down Cosgrove Hall [note that they didn't even try to bring any 2000s Cosgrove Hall show to the states, they might have been planning to shut Cosgrove Hall down for YEARS].

I liked the Cable 7 music, really chilled. Didn't Sally Moon present on the Satellite channel way back in 1982? For some reason that name sticks in my head.

Next episode will be focused on the closure of the Box Plus Network channels

Hi, I have a question for you, I'm making an online channel called Good Television(ik I made up the name abt 3 years ago lol) and it's a mixture of cartoons, comedy shows and stuff about TV history(bc I love TV history, even learnt a few four your videos) and I'd like for this show to be on it(at around 8pm). Please answer soon because I'm launching it around the end of July/start of August, I'll even send you some exclusive videos to show you what it is(maybe even a Television Affair episode abt online TV) haha jk. I love the mix of humour and information shown in these, sorry for waffling but thanks for reading.

I now simply have to find Devil Girl from Mars to see it!

I'm wondering if in some pub in the late 1980s, Nick Ross and Mike Smith made a bet over who would present the most cable and satellite information videos...

Just discovered your channel. binging it and loving the super niche content mate :) keep ii up

RIP The box, Kiss, Magic, Kerrang and 4music

11:57 Is that the same Masius that was briefly responsible for Masius Quizbreak on the first couple of months of TV-am?

14:09 4Music started in 2008, not 2004!!

The magazine exists 😂

These videos are amazing

I do remember having NTL. My mum got it while my dad's family had sky, also they stopped our kable

Manuel"le" Möbius 😂

So in Peterborough, the new town parts often had a ban on roof aerials, and so had cable installed, probably when they were built in the mid to late 70’s.

11:59 "Broadcasting is too many people" Truer words never spoken.

thanks for the JATWW themed intro, lovely

Great to have a new video to watch, and already looking forward to what comes next!

Videotron was also across Southampton from 1989/1990 onwards. Later to become Cable & Wireless / ntl

East Lancashire Cablevision and Nynex Cablecomms who took over East Lancashire's cable system had Cable Seven on channel 7 based at Glenfield Park Site 2 Blakewater Road Blackburn Lancashire before NTL disbanded it.

Regarding Birmingham Cable, it WAS partly owned by the same Comcast that now owns Sky.

That Daddies advert takes me back. That’s probably what got me into wrestling AND Daddies sauce. Remember me and my old man acting like bellends at tea time and chanting “EASY! EASY!” pouring the sauce out. So advertising definitely works. Memory unlocked.

Loved the Nick Ross supercut, and I'm really interested in doing my own research into a local community television experiment that apparently happened where I live in the 70s...

Nick Ross - "Don't have nightmares, and buy our cable"

Enjoy your month off, looking forward to series 2!
