Curious to check, 1998 was the year every broadcaster logo appeared and thereafter until 2007.

Eurovision rules
Look back at the 90s + 00s voting announcements and you’ll notice it! Technically it didn’t appear in the rules, but the rules from permanent services and host broadcaster clearly liked the onscreen identifier to help with the satellite link ups.
It did used to be in the #Eurovision rules that broadcasters’ logos had to be onscreen during the voting along with the #EBU logo.
“Oh! I know this one!” chirps Robin, “it’s Drag Racer in A Major by D. Wood.” Leaving Joyce somewhat #snookered by this modern music… #FaceTheMusic youtu.be/quVWbuYWw48
What is this?! Face The Music cancelled!
You just wait until Robin and Joyce find out the #combsnook continues! Someone’s going to have to #FaceTheMusic about this #Snooker
Combsnook
Is it the delay of programme due to snooker over running?
Is it when a hair from a combover has gone astray?
Or is it a shade of beige?
#CallMyBluff
#FaceTheMusic well + truly #snookered tonight. BBC will Face The Music when the viewer sends a strongly worded letter of complaint to Points Of View in elegant cursive handwriting on #beige writing paper. In the meantime, what’s this one on Coops keyboard - it’s in F minor…? Answers on a postcard!
Indeedy! And yet it is possible to watch snooker in black and white!
The liquidators at Chernobyl had 1 minute and received an entire lifetime dose of radiation. 4000 men were sent on the roof.
Pripyat is a fascinating place to visit. ☢️ 26/4/86 remembered.
“And for those of you watching in black and white, the black is next to the red…” #TheSnooker
There’s a song for every occasion… “Fifty candles on the party cakes, for the many years of happiness!” Happy Birthday 🎈 youtu.be/8qSXUXPuOvQ
‘Un-be-liev-able’ - that AI changed my spelling of unbelievable too. Off to research my Meldrew point…
Verka Eurovision Song Contest what a star!
You star! 1, 2, 3… I hope you had fun. #Verka #Eurovision 🇺🇦

“I don’t believe it!”
I think John Carter was sent there in 1987 because Judith refused to go! #WishYouWereHere #Reginos 🐳
I guess that’s the point as probably most people don’t! Similarly the transfer to digital phone lines means they don’t work in a powerful cut, but then again who has a phone line?! Digital dependency + interconnectivity is not without its potential problems when it fails to work! #RingRing ☎️

Maybe. While digital brings many advantages it is worth remembering that analogue is extremely reliable during blackouts and major infrastructure failures. In a volatile world it might be worth keeping as a back up.
Cyber attack, power cut… LW was a contingency to online outage. Be warned MW and FM you’ll be next…

Just hold onto the fact you look young enough to still get IDed!
I was just thinking about the jumping years actually. Unusual not to just go chronologically although I actually like bouncing forward + back to see the fashions and migrating combovers and not knowing what year it is. #FaceTheMusic
Robin had worn his lime green dungarees in rehearsals, but it clashed with Ruth…. For the #record Joyce was 69 + not very well at this point. #FaceTheMusic
Murray is 32 while Coops is 65, Richard is 54, Ruth Madoc 47 and chirpy Robin is 44 #FaceTheMusic
Joyce missed the number 69 bus so Ruth Madoc stood in last minute. Richard and Robin getting on famously, for now… #FaceTheMusic
That’s usually Joyce and Robin in the Green Room after the show sipping their third Babycham… #FaceTheMusic
