The microwave live link. You suggest (footnote 25) that the BAOR live link started in 1983. This is a long way from accurate. Most of BAOR watched the SAS storm the Iranian Embassy live via the live link. I didn't. I was in class on a German Linguist course at Mühlheim AD Ruhr, which being a minor garrison had not yet got the link. I was also able to watch the 1981 Royal Wedding live, being sat in a room on site guard, a week before my own wedding.

But I'm not going to crayon all over the page. I'll that to somebody to check the facts. AlienFTM (talk) 10:53, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion about terrestrial and cable broadcasts[edit]

I corrected the following claims:

  • The analogue terrestrial television broadcasts used to be unencrypted, at least in Germany.
  • SSVC television was not on the West Berlin cable network (nor anywhere else as far as I know). The reference to the contrary claim to google books leads to nowhere meaningful. If the person who wrote the original paragraph could clarify why he/she thinks otherwhise, I'm happy to discuss.

For reference the original quote:

Until 1994, it was available on cable in West Berlin to non-military audiences.[1]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on British Forces Broadcasting Service. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Forces TV[edit]

Should Forces TV be a separate article? Rillington (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As it is now defunct, and was comparatively short lived, any stand-alone article would be a stub that would never grow. Here it has context and a place. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 19:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of programmes[edit]

I've removed the list of programmes from this article. Number one reason: completely unsourced. Yeah, I know, we all watched Snodgrass and Hopkins or whatever on it, but people watching stuff isn't a good reason to have an unsourced list that attracts vandals, will never be complete and has no use to our readers. There's an argument for links in the opposite direction - from Snodgrass and Hopkins to this article, but I can't see a useful reason for links in the opposite direction. Your opinions on this are welcome. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 19:10, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
