Capturing the Essence of ITV Control Centre, Cardiff - A Glimpse into Television History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the 18th of October 1966, when the most intricate and advanced technical control centre for an ITV network was unveiled in Cardiff. This groundbreaking facility, costing a staggering £0.25 million, would soon become the heartbeat of television broadcasting for over one million homes across Wales and the West of England. In this print by Ron Harding from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a behind-the-scenes moment that brings us closer to understanding the magic that unfolded within those walls. TWW station announcer Maureen Staffer gracefully adjusts her makeup while seated in front of an array of monitors and controls in the bustling control room during rehearsals. The image encapsulates both glamour and hard work as Maureen's hand delicately holds a mirror while she perfects her appearance. Her legs crossed elegantly beneath her chair as she focuses on preparing herself for another day at this technological marvel. This photograph not only showcases the dedication and professionalism required by those working tirelessly behind cameras but also offers us a glimpse into how far technology has come since then. It serves as a reminder that every innovation starts with humble beginnings – even something as monumental as revolutionizing television broadcasting. Join us on this journey through time with Ron Harding's remarkable snapshot, which pays homage to Independent Television (ITV), TV Wales and The West networks without mentioning commercial use or any specific company.
