Latest post in The best and worst digital TV channels in the UK of all time

RI

Apologies for the sudden change of topic, but we are talking about the best and worst channels, Arise News (Judging by what I have read about them) is the worst TV channel in the UK. Poor quality programming, Poor Playout Output, not to mention a poor industrial record (as in late paychecks) are just some of the problems with the network. It used to be on Freeview, but it closed down in September 2015 on the Freeview platform and it's on & off on Sky.


Is worst defined as worst on screen or worst behind the scenes?

Arise News is an appallingly badly managed company but the TV channel has support from plenty of African viewers.

Earliest surviving 2″ quad videotape masters

Does anybody know if any Southern TV material existed on 2" quad video tapes? Like with Westward, there is plenty of stuff that has never been released commercially (assuming it was archived) and there might even be a few tapes from 1981 that would normally have been recorded over but weren't because Southern had ceased producing new programmes after their franchise expired.

Educational Broadcasting 2020

I'm strongly in favour of educational programmes for children to have subtitles. Some children may be hard of hearing / live in noisy houses / require more opportunities to practice reading.
