Community Cable Television in the 1970s


Listen Later

Listen back to the first panel from our event ‘Community Cable Television in the 1970s’ in partnership with the Bishopsgate Institute, where we were joined by former cable channel producers, station managers, volunteers, artists and activists to discuss the history and legacy of community cable TV in the UK.

The event took place on 11 March 2023, and was part of our exhibition ‘People Make Television’ 28 January–26 March 2023, an exhibition of DIY television from the 1970s curated by Lori E Allen, Matthew Harle, William Fowler and Alex Sainsbury.

This discussion brought together Peter Lewis, Martin Parry, Alex Sainsbury and other former cable channel producers and volunteers, as well as participating community media artists and activists to consider the role community cable television played within the world of community media and arts.
