Channel 4 teletext, Aug 1986 Posted by: ricardo266
Video duration: 566 seconds Global video hits: 9811 Taped in August 1986, this is a sequence from 4-Tel On View, Channel 4's daytime pages from teletext service. This was broadcast during the day, alternating with the test card, when there were no programmes scheduled. It's accompanied by some superb classical piano music (the main reason I recorded this in the first place). This is a 10 min extract from that tape.
