TV station for over-50s to open
« on: June 28, 2010, 22:02 »
A digital television channel aimed at viewers aged 50 and over will launch later this year, it has been announced.

Vintage TV will focus on music and popular culture from the 1950s to 1980s and feature some original programming.

The station, due to begin broadcasting on Sky and Freesat on 1 September, will also show new music videos for 500 songs recorded before the video age.

Provided it doesn't focus the on the kind of 'music' that saw an entire generation completely avoid the BBC, I'm all ears (plus some other bits too).   :-\

So long as the TOTP repeats don't have Steve Wright speaking over them or running asinine 'interesting facts' along the bottom of the screen.
