TV Times

Yes...All a bit confusing these days.

One thing that is sorely missed, A proper regional TV station, It had its faults but you did feel part of Westward/TSW/Westcountry.

A bit of TV history..The Stockland Hill transmitter (between Axminster & Honiton) started 625 line broadcasts(Colour) on 13th September 1971,looks like they were after HTV(West) area viewers.

The big advantage TWW/HTV had over Westward was that they had Popeye and Westward didn't.

Was that Pre Westward?

Was that Pre Westward?

Yep. Back in the '60s.
BBC1 & 2, HTV, Westward and a few radio stations with a wall mounted dial to change channels.
They also showed some test colour TV stuff prior to aerial sevices.

Been watching an American cop series on Alibi for the last few weeks called Unforgettable, basically it’s about a Detective with a photographic memory, it has a back storey running about her deceased sister that has yet to be resolved...quite like it anyway.
