  Thames Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rediffusion had assumed that contract renewal was a mere 'formality' and critically, their application process reflected this complacency.
In programming Rediffusion was originally considered stuffy but in the previous contract round of 1964 it had re-invented itself (dropping the name Associated Rediffusion in favour of the more swinging Rediffusion London) to reflect the cultural changes of the time and output altered accordingly.
Thames' corporate base was originally at Rediffusion's former headquarters Adastral House, Kingsway, until the opening of the newly-built Thames Television House on Euston Road in 1970.

 Rediffusion | Ident
This austere approach was made more striking by Associated Rediffusion’s neighbour, the weekend contractor ATV, which was light-hearted and showbusiness-orientated - the opposite of everything AR stood for and determined to live down to the role critics had chosen for the new commercial service.
Associated Rediffusion was determined to be the long-arm of the 1930s extending into the 1950s - continuing the dying notion that Britain and its Empire where something important in the world.
Rediffusion was the face of a swinging, happy London in a bright, shiny new UK.

Rediffusion Hong Kong and Rediffusion Singapore were sold to the local governments or their agents.
Rediffusion Television, so long forgotten — or at least dismissed because of the hour a day of (remembered) popular shows they transmitted to fund more, now forgotten, hours of quality programming — is now the darling of the British Film Institute, with the BFI actively seeking lost Rediffusion and Associated-Rediffusion programming.

Rediffusion developed early cable TV technology to allow TV signals to be carried over twisted pair cable to subscribers homes.
When new channels were introduced, starting from 1956, Rediffusion simply used another twisted pair in the same bundle, modulating a higher frequency carrier (around 8 MHz) with VSB using the lower sideband.
Within 10 years, the parent company of Rediffusion (BET) decided it was no longer in the TV business, closed the labs and the factory, and the building was razed to the ground.

Within a year of taking up her appointment with Rediffusion Miss Love was invited by Sveriges Radio to go to Stockholm to run an introductory course in educational television for Swedish teachers and producers.
Rediffusion can compliment itself both on maintaining through the years an extremely professional team of educationists and also on encouraging the circulation of this talent.
When the history of British ITV comes to be written, Rediffusion’s unremittingly pioneering role in schools broadcasting will seem increasingly admirable, maintained as it was even against the background of the financial losses of the first two years.

 Associated Rediffusion History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Rediffusion had been in the business of carrying broadcasts since 1928, that is relaying radio programmes to areas with poor reception.
Like everyone else they passed through the 1964 franchise round unscathed, although the opportunity was taken to drop the 'Associated' from their name, as by this time Associated Newspapers had completely sold out, somewhat unhappily as a requirement to keep about a one-third stake in Southern Television.
Therefore he proposed that Rediffusion merge with ABC, but ABC would have 51% of the new joint company, and effectively be in control.

Rediffusion, the King of Woolworth's third album, steps away from the low-fi discord of his first two releases, and advances toward a more elegant style, heavily influenced by '60s instrumental pop.
It soon becomes obvious that the goal of Rediffusion is not to upset but to soothe.
There's nothing at all wrong with Rediffusion, and it is actually quite a pleasant album, perfect for a lazy summers day.

However, Rediffusion still exists in the music publishing world and continues to commission new music, some of it by the very same old hands that supplied their greatest moments...

 hackHull? - Rediffusion: Connecting Yourself
The box tops are not screwed on and may simply be unclipped from two clips at the bottom (cable) end of the box.
The easiest way to do this is to get a multimeter and check for the presence of an AC current across any pair of cables - if you've got a feeder box then you'll find around 1.5vAC across the line, if you've just got your subscriber connection it'll register around half a volt.
VHF_IN is usually a two-core copper cable, sometimes it's connected to what looks like an old valve socket (it seems to be some method of controlling the channel actually from the set itself instead of the wall switch).
