About

The medium

Forty columns by twenty-four rows,

seven colours on black. Text fitted

the grid or it was cut, and you did

not follow a link: you typed three

digits and waited for the page to

come round again.

Why it looks like this

Ceefax, the BBC's teletext service,

ran from 1974 until October 2012.

These pages put a live news feed

back into it.
