Television is dead!

I am sad to report that Television Mag has closed! Unbelievable but
apparently true as I have now heard it from several different sources.

This mag started as a suplement to Practical Television in what was it,
1929?

Truly, as someone who has appeared on the front cover, a sad day!

TV repairing is dead, if a TV goes wrong, people now go out
and buy a new one which should last maybe 5 years till the next one

Television mag has simply gone the same way as Gas lamp lighters monthly

The frightening thing is where will it end, or will there be an end?

I think you mean "started as a suplement to Practical Wireless"?

I started reading it in the late 1960's. My school physics class had a few
copies from the 1950's lying around which I "borrowed". They were in the
smaller A5 format. I think the teacher knew what I was doing but she didn't
complain as I was the only person interested.

Yes, IIRC they were a nice snug fit for 'Health and Efficiency' magazine in
the centre pages.

If that? The way modern tubes are overdriven I'd be surprised if they lasted
more than a year or two. When TV sets were rented, the companies which owned
them had a vested interest in keeping them going for as long as possble. I
remember articles about CRT rejuvenation and converting 405-line sets to
625-line operation. "Recycling" you could call it.

Some years ago, I had a tv for sale which I advertised in the local paper.
On Sunday someone rang up wanting to buy it. They came round and I asked
why they wanted wanted to by a tv at Sunday lunchtime. "Ours failed last
night, we'll buy a new one tomorrow, but we need something to keep us going
tonight."

A5 didn't exist in the 50s. The size was nearer quarto.
