Downtime on SABC TV 1.
Video content
[00:00:00] TELETEXT IN-VISION: a selection of pages from Teledata (SABC TV’s teletext service), accompanied by the sound of Radio Orion.
Can you identify the first presenter, on air prior to midnight?
The post-midnight presenter is Robin Alexander.
[00:09:25] TEST CARD: the SABC TV 1 test card replaced in-vision teletext, ten seconds prior to midnight (though there was a premature burst of test card at [00:07:48]).
The station’s test card is the Philips PM5544 colour pattern and incorporates a live digital clock.
Apologies for the audio fault which is present on the entire recording.
