TV Pres has been created to promote our partnership of independent television presentation sites. These feature high-quality, curated video content that documents the history of TV ephemera such as idents, promotions, advertisements, programme graphics and set design. The partner sites self-host their videos so as not to rely on video-sharing services such as YouTube.
