Events
1961
Kenneth Kendall left the BBC TV newsreading team, reportedly to go on attachment to the BBC TV Planning Department. He would return to newsreading duties on 14th July 1969, after eight years of TV presenting in other genres.
1999
Broadcast magazine reports that Moira Stuart is to present BBC Breakfast News when it relaunches in the autumn: "The format is yet to be confirmed, although the BBC is believed to be considering the inclusion of news bulletins within the show." In fact, the relaunched version of the programme didn't materialise until October 2000. Moira joined at that point, presenting news bulletins.

Research for On This Day in TV History is by Paul R. Jackson.

Details about test card/teletext in-vision music and BBC trade test films are available as a result of decades of research and logging by members of the Test Card Circle.
