The Television Affair: Episode 5 - Pan European Satellite (The Analogue years) Part 2

- It's a very delayed edition of the television affair... I will explain more about this below.
We're continuing from where we left off in the last episode, looking into the satellite channels you could have got in the UK from other broadcasters (and a few if you twiddled with your dish a bit) many of which were in a different language, but broadcast for nearby countries. For some we’ll look at their roots, touch on their home service or look into the sister stations.
In this edition, we look at the prank I played on my uncle with Bernd Das Brot from Kids Channel Kika, The origins of Tele 5, A station in Serbia station that was bombed by Nato along with it's days as a propaganda machine, another station that didn't last as long as it should for some reason or another, and a brief look at some BBC channels you might not have known were a thing.
There was a massive delay in getting this video out. I'd intended it to come out a few days after episode 4 but I had an internet outage, and I was using mobile internet. Plus it was the start of the kids holiday so haven't been able to concentrate so well on the video but I got there in the end. Got some more exciting videos to come.
Finally... If you love the videos and would like to help me make more, you can now tip me. In the short term this means I can get myself a drink (Non alcoholic by the way) whilst making these videos. I find having a drink with me while I'm editing can really help a lot and keeps me hydrated. It can sometimes take a while to go through loads of old TV and find the good bits. In the long term I'd love to update my equipment - it's all getting on a bit now.
If you're interested in contributing:
Minimum donation is £2, and you'll get a credit on my site where I post all videos.
If you donate £5 or more I'll put you in the credits for a month (or a minimum 4 videos if it's a slow month).
If you donate £10 or more I'll mention you at the thanks at the end for a month (or a minimum 4 videos if it's a slow month).
If you donate more than £20 I'll add you as an Executive Producer

"Hello, Crimestoppers? Yeah I think the guy your looking for is the Thames Bridge, shifty bugger always rises up from the water"
I think I've probably left maybe one comment ever on a youtube video but this channel is just so wonderful. Really. Bravo.

I had nightmares as a kid about the Yorkshire TV logo chasing me. I had flashbacks after watching this 😢😅
Holy crap the Canal+ intro took me back. That was open and unencrypted on Dutch cable before they started their encrypted service for the night.

Fantastic Chanel I love the bernd callback 😂😂😂
Thank you :) also Bernd's mouth is in the crime stoppers bit at the start
@@jonkasonic oh yes I thought I saw that lol 😂
Lol we used to have a holiday home in Spain n a old set top sky box n it picked up the German channels so saw some of the bernd episodes one the tax man came to visit n the crazy plant looking puppet opened the door n I cracked up as the taxman said “ guttentag herr bush “ lol hairy bush lol 😂😂😂😂😂
I cannot stop laughing at that "cannon" joke. 😂
41:11 Where did you find the "wrong BBC Prime!" logo?
There were more rebrands for those two BBC channels though: 2003 and 2007 for BBC World and 2006 for BBC Prime.
You absolute legend. Something decent to watch during tea now.
Re: The Bernding. I did something similar at work with the head of Bruce Forsyth just before he died. Ainsley Harriott’s head also turned up.
Probably a few somewhere in that office still.
I remember when I worked at Teddington in the mid 90's seeing the TX 'suite' for a 24 hour version of Quantum. It was a cupboard at the back of their VT area and was just someone sitting watching it and changing tapes every hour or two. No-one seemed to know where it went, how it got there or who watched it.
A few little fun facts to add:
I always remember that Quantum must have been uplinked from a different location than Eurosport. The transition between the two channels was rarely smooth, it wasn't uncommon for the signal to cut out completely in between.
MBC used the same test card as the BSB channels did, just with a different centre picture.
JSTV is winding down at the moment and will close completely in October.
Finally, the old Atlantic 252 radio mast was demolished earlier this month.
I'm sure that Quantum's feed came from either Belgium or the Netherlands as the audio tracks were all in Dutch.
Loving this content, I'm learning more than I already knew about the early days of analogue satellite and cable channels!
Anyone noticed the music at 24 minutes for burn the bread is basically radio ga ga?
Yeah it's some production music that seems to have a similar baseline
I love this channel and the work you do! Hugely nostalgic, hope we can get you more subs and views!
I’ve just woken up and been reminded of the “shorts” section on the Children’s Channel. You’ll probably remember since you covered Telecat… but they would introduce these 10 second cartoons by way of a washing machine and then there’d be about five minutes worth of them.
One of which I’m sure was called “Dragon” or “Dragoon” and featured a big dragon being annoyed by a small one (I think one was pink and the other blue) and I thought it was so brilliant, I even tried to animate it on my Amiga in Deluxe Paint.
Jonkasonic the saviour of our summer
I am German, but when i was a Kid i watched a lot of SKY ONE as it was still not Encrypted, so i saw Star Trek TNG, The Simpsons, and many more. One is Missing in this Video, Germanys first Pay TV Premiere. that now is SKY Germany.
Thank you for that Video.
Yes! I was trying to find some footage for it but I kept coming across the other one (Prem1er) but I have learnt a few more research techniques, and would love to do a other video on european tv
3 channels and their history sound brilliant. Can't wait.
I really miss the days of international TV. My main memory of polish channels was that instead of subbing or dubbing foreign shows they would leave the original soundtrack intact and then get a single person to talk over it in Polish, 1 person for all characters and in a very monotone voice
still a common practice to this day

Another interesting video. Love the information on these.
29:38 Even the introduction of programmes are too way similar to UK.
hey no dissing didi7, that stuff was amazing, worked very well
I listened to Atlantic 252 around summer 1999.
Eminem - The Real Slim Shady was played a lot I'm sure.
Other songs will come back to me.
Does anyone get the odd feeling Blinky Bill might become the next " Thomas the Tank engine"?..
RTE was also involved with TARA TV
I did like Quantum due to the infomercials trying to sell me vastly overpriced odd tat, enjoyable in a strange way when you're a 10 year old watching it at 3:20am because you wanted to do an all-nighter and teleshopping was what was on.
You used Bernd to create your own dumb sitcom scenario!
You criticise the polish channel for having its head appointed by its right wing government but the head of the BBC is appointed by our right wing government too.
The bbc has a historuc reputation of being left wing during its time in the 1980s and right now, both times when we had a right wing government. Both right wing and left wing aligned people say that the bbc is bias to the other side, but thus would happen if you were being impartial.
Our government has been recently been trying to find a way of inserting a director General who has the same views as them, however the structure of the bbc is set up that it holds itself accountable.
It's tax funded but not government funded and its indepentent from government- during the Conservatives time in power, they have been very critical of the bbc - they hate it because they can’t control it. The bbc holds them to account and it makes the government look bad. It has recently come under fire because some of the bbcs board appointments were Conservative aligned, and the government does appoint some of those positions but the bbc board in general from what I understand is impartial as a whole.
The government DO want to be in charge of the bbc, but in it's current form it's not able to do that. It's also (despite criticism in recent years for scandals involving individual entertainers and criticism over their pay) the most trusted and accurate news source in the UK and the world.
@@jonkasonicthat doesn't explain away BBC News' pandering to the Gender Crits though. Bleh.
@@TheGerkuman no indeed. It's not perfect by a long shot but here's hoping that progress will prevail.
