New timelines

I have just created a Timeline of S4C and was wondering what timelines we could create next. One possibility for television could be Sky One, and a Sky One timeline would include its spin-off channels Sky Replay and Pick TV. Regarding radio, what immediately comes to mind is TalkSport and LBC. What do you think, and can you think of any others? Rillington (talk) 15:52, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

I did think of an S4C timeline a while ago but wasn't sure how much information there would be, but this looks great. Sky One, LBC and TalkSport sound good. TalkSport began life as TalkRadio so a timeline could include information about that. There's Virgin Radio, although that could end up being too similar to the Absolute Radio timeline, but maybe it would be doable in a few years. Some of the other stations are a bit too recent, but I'd imagine a timeline of Greatest Hits Radio would be a possibility one day, and even a timeline of Boom Radio. It's getting more difficult to think now as most of the subjects seem to be covered. All the major sports are covered now, but a possibility could be Timeline of Olympic coverage on UK television, or Timeline of International sporting events on UK television, such as Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Cup, etc. Also, what about satellite television? There was BSB for a while, and there's Freesat, and probably others (such as Saorsat in Northern Ireland). Religious programming on radio or television could be another one, or faith-based radio and television channels. There's a few of those, like UCB, Premier Radio and so on.

I had already began putting together a timeline of multi-sports events and your reply has reminded me to complete it! I've also started to put together a timeline for Sky One and also a timeline for Sky Cinema.

Both have now been created. Rillington (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

I think a timeline of non Sky movie channels is definitely do-able but I think a religious channels timeline is less realistic as it would mainly just list launches and closures. That said, there's enough content for separate timelines of religious broadcasting for both radio and television.

A timeline of satellite television is definitely a possibility and maybe also a timeline of local television.

Regarding radio, I think that there is already enough information to create a timeline for Greatest Hits Radio as it would include both presenter/on-air changes and each time it launches on a new frequency but it's too soon to create a timeline for stations such as Virgin Radio and Boom Radio. The others of course are TalkSport, which should at least make some reference to Talk Radio, and LBC although both would mostly be presenter changes. Rillington (talk) 16:59, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

A few other timelines have also come to mind. First, I think there are three for children's broadcasting with separate timelines for BBC, ITV and other channels. There's also enough material for a timeline of schools broadcasting although I think this would be covered in one timeline. I shall look to create these timelines next. Can you think of any other possibities? Rillington (talk) 15:59, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

And I've now begun putting together all four of these timelines. Rillington (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Timeline of Schools Broadcasts in the UK now created and the children's timelines are almost done. Rillington (talk) 15:07, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

I've been having a think about these for a couple of days and have some other ideas. I hadn't thought of schools and children's broadcasting, but there's a lot of history going right back for both. I'm not sure if I've mentioned any of these before, so forgive me if I have. I'm also not sure how doable some of these are.

• Timeline of political programming on UK television (covering party political broadcasts, elections, state opening of parliament, PMQs, etc)
• Timeline of business programming on UK television (such as launch of CNBC, and The Business Programme, The Money Programme, Working Lunch, etc)
• Timeline of soap operas on UK television (when they began and ended, milestones, etc)
• Timeline of music programming on UK television (major events that have been broadcast such as Live Aid, The Proms, and the Nelson Mandela Birthday Concert, and programmes like Top of the Pops, The Tube, etc. Major music awards as well like Young Musician of the Year)
• Timeline of state occasions on UK television (Queen's coronation, royal weddings, presidential visits, and other important events of state)
• Timeline of daytime television in the UK (when daytime broadcasting began on different television networks, major schedule changes, etc)
• Timeline of the Open University on television (some of which is covered in the breakfast television timeline)

Hope some of these would be possible. This is Paul (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

I'd actually been thinking that timelines for soap operas and for music programmes as future timeline ideas and would the latter be for programmes, channels or both?

I very much like the idea of a timeline for daytime television as it would sit very well alongside the breakfast television timeline and also maybe one for nighttime/overnight broadcasting.

To an extent political and business programming are covered on the various news timelines but they are still worth considering as timelines in their own right as you could go into more detail about individual programmes, as is one for state occasions which do not really feature in the news timelines. This could also maybe include election results programmes although a timeline for election results programmes could easily be a timeline in its own right but it would almost exclusively cover just the BBC as ITV schedules are not available online. Such a timeline could also include US elections, European elections and local elections.

A timeline for Open University is possible but I'm not sure if there would be enough material if it was confined to television broadcasting, but you could maybe combine it with adult education in general and an OU timeline would probably include radio as well as television. Rillington (talk) 15:43, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

As for other possibilities, my idea of a local television timeline would not include regional broadcasting as that would be a separate timeline. Local broadcasting would be for local channels and regional broadcasting would be regional news and programming made by the BBC and ITV.

As for other future ideas, I mentioned film channels earlier, maybe one for shopping channels as well? Rillington (talk) 16:26, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Have you had any further thoughts about additional radio timelines? One other possibility might be timeline(s) of sports broadcasting on UK radio. This could be one big timeline or it could be separated between the BBC snd commercial stations such as TalkSPORT, local stations, IRN and other sports radio stations. Rillington (talk) 16:26, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Some great ideas here. The only radio one I can think of at the moment would be one for Birmingham along the lines of London and Manchester. Possibly also one for Ireland as I don't think we have one at the moment. This is Paul (talk) 00:05, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Good idea, as maybe are timelines for radio in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are timelines for television in those countries. Rillington (talk) 15:43, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

I have nearly completed the three children's tv timelines and am continuing to put together a multi-sports events timeline. I have also started to put together a timeline for local television, which will include local TV from the early cable experiments to today, and am then probably going to compile timelines for radio in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I may then extend this to regions in England for both radio and TV, but they probably won't strict rigidly to the ITV regions. Rillington (talk) 16:24, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Looking forward to reading them. I’m not at home at the moment, so editing using a different device which makes editing a bit more awkward. I’ll check anything created as soon as I get home, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. This is Paul (talk) 23:24, 10 July 2021 (UTC) This is Paul (talk) 23:24, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

The children's TV timelines are now online. My next timeline will be a timeline of local television. Rillington (talk) 16:33, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Timeline of local television in the UK also now created. Rillington (talk) 18:49, 11 July 2021 (UTC)‎
