Hi,

When we last discussed television timelines we talked about maybe putting together a timeline of daytime TV. We already have timelines for overnight TV and for breakfast television so daytime would complete the set. What do you think? Rillington (talk) 11:46, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

A timeline of daytime TV sounds great, although I'm not sure how much information is available. I know in the years articles we have things such as when BBC One started broadcasting all day, the start of This Morning, etc, so that would be a good place to start. Would we also include Channel 4 opening earlier than 4.45pm, which from memory I think happened in about 1987 when schools programming started. Let me know what you think. I suppose a daytime TV article would have to start out in the draft space until it were large enough to move into the main space. This is Paul (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes we'd include Channel 4's expansion into daytime television, which took place in three stages - autumn 1984 when the start time became 2.30pm, autumn 1987 when it became midday (9.30 during the School term) and finally 6am when Channel 4 launched its breakfast service as it was from then that Channel 4 provided an all-day service on weekdays for the first time.

In terms of information available, I don't think this would be a problem as the various timelines and the years articles should provide us with all the information we need.

Finally, do you think this timeline should be just for weekday daytime programming? My view is that it probably should be. Rillington (talk) 16:09, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi,

We were recently discussing whether to put together a timeline for daytime television and you were very much in favour although I wasn't sure as to whether it should also include weekend daytimes.

I'm also starting to put together a timeline for the Radio Times given the huge wealth of information about the magazine. Given the current nature of the article I think this would be a helpful addition as it will pull the full history together in an easier to follow format.

Do you have any other thoughts about other UK broadcast media timelines we could create? One possibility that immediately comes to mind is LBC, and that history probably should include the period when LBC was not on air. Rillington (talk) 14:55, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I saw that you reviewed the Cher article back in 2012 during its first Featured Article nomination, so I wanted to reach out as it's up for nomination again. Given your past involvement, I thought you might be interested in taking another look. If you have any thoughts, they'd be much appreciated. Thanks! Cherfc (talk) 01:04, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

@Cherfc: Thanks for thinking of me, but I'd have to pass on it I'm afraid. The proofreading would be too much of a challenge for me these days. I wish you the best of luck though, and I hope the article does make FAC this time. This is Paul (talk) 20:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
