23 September 2003 tbs.pm/830
Whilst the Transdiffusion Broadcasting System has been around for about 40
years (we’re celebrating the big 4-0 next year for very complex reasons),
22 September is our anniversary on the web.
And, as usual, we like to bring you something special. So join us in the
widespread world of Transdiffusion…

Telemusications from Transdiffusion
Presenting: TELEVISION HOUSE – the widespread world of Rediffusion
ITV was born on 22 September 1955 when Leslie Mitchell first said “This is
London”.
THIS is Television House – looking in depth at all that was Rediffusion,
from radar to Small Time, Redvers Kyle to Thames, the TVTimes to ITN.
Join us on a guided tour of Television House, the new subsite from
Telemusications

It’s all for you…
Transdiffusion is your network of websites. We only exist because of the
fantastic contributions from readers we get every month – articles, comment
and chat on our Communities @ Transdiffusion email forums.
You can contribute to our Open Content network in several ways. If you’ve
got an original article of over 800 words on any broadcasting subject
except the programmes themselves, send it to
mailto:editors@transdiffusion.org or contact the EMC commissioning editor
at the same address for more information or ideas.
And there’s always our [NEW! IMPROVED!] forum for people who want to write
for EMC, PMC and RMC (that’s TV, archive and radio by another name). The
TBS Writers’ Forum has replaced the separate EMC and RMC versions and is
bigger and better than ever.
Drop a line to us and let us
know what you’d like to write about and what you’d like to see us do in
future. We’ll get right back to you and sign you up!

Andrew Hesford-Booth explains why he became one of our most prolific
contributors…

Driven mad by barking DOGs? Want to know what transmitter is pointing at
you? Is local radio tracking your every move? Does television music haunt
you at night? Do you find the privitised trains a nightmare? Do you blame
the government?
If any of these questions apply to you, or if you’re actually sane but
would still like to talk about subjects loosely related to the above, then
it’s time to join a Transdiffusion Community. Email lists on all your
favourite subjects, all at the click of a button
You can also influence future development of the Network. If you have
ideas for development, subjects you would like us to cover or sites you
think we could develop, contact us and let
us know.

Free content for your website – and free articles for use in print…
Do you want a single (or several) quality media news or media history
articles for use on your site or in print… for free?
Most of our pages on www.transdiffusion.org are Open Content – you can
reuse them online for nothing except a linked button, or offline for
nothing except a printed link to our Network front page. You can even use
our images, if you reprint the article text on the same page.

Talking books and newspapers for the visually impaired…
From an idea by one of EMC’s Meta Editors, we now offer a service to
compilers of Talking Books and Newspapers. Our Open Content Syndication
programme can provide interesting material for free use in talking books
and newspapers.
Visit our microsites or any other article on the Network – if you find an
article you know will interest your subscribers, contact us
and ask about our simple Syndication
policy, our ‘Course Notes’ printed versions of our articles for
photocopying, or our Reading Scripts service especially created for
Talking Books services across the world.
