I’ve noticed teletext is sent along with broadcast radio as well. E.g. smartphones with an FM receiver are able to show the station callsign and the name of the currently playing artist. So my question is, is scheduling information also included in that data stream so we know what programs are coming on the radio station at what times?
Really interesting talk from @penguin42 at the Manchester Linux Users Group today about retrieving teletext from VCR tapes. I didn't know that teletext was broadcast during gaps and that VCRs captured them.
So, alles auf die pnpde.social-Instanz umgezogen, inkl. Follower und denen ich so folge. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass mir #Mastodon besser zusagt. #Twitter geht ja echt langsam nimmer, für #Insta ist mein Leben und mein Essen zu langweilig, für #Facebook bin ich zu jung, mein TV hat keinen #Teletext mehr.
everybody's hyped for the new 1FAE9 FACE WITH BAGS UNDER EYES, which I mean, :big_mood:, but for you appreciators of text-presentation glyphs, might I draw your attention to the new range "Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement" (1CC00–1CEBF) that includes several gaming sprites from retrocomputer codesets including Pac-Man, a full set of Space Invaders, 1CC96 FLAPPING BIRD and so on—as well as a full set of box characters for #teletext emulators?
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastnesses of the underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over the genre spectrum from all over the world. Btw.: Forget about that German language aspect - it's all about the music… as in:
But can you withstand the genre jumping overdoze?
This time the Fediverse is represented via one track by #Sitka, which is the most talented @oleksiy !
Also lots of powa female energy in it! And... tape machines!
On top of that thanks to @mistfunk for raising my attention towards @pixelblip (not active here anymore unfortunately) so I could inject his animated #Teletext art into my video teaser (see below!).
As always I'll post playlist and manuscript later here (provided I’m at home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions about the music – I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
C U all tonight! :)

Der Underground hat angeklopft und will seine Bandschleifen zurück! Oder Bandschleichen. Was weiß denn ich?
Jedenfalls — 1 Monat is rum, Radio Irrtum! ist wieder da! Und zwar Samstag Abend, 20 Uhr über Alex Berlin auf FM 91MHz/DAB+ Ch.7D (Stream URL oben).
Radio Irrtum! ist meine Radiosendung, in der wir zusammen die Weiten des musikalischen Untergrunds erforschen mittels Musik folgender Genres:
fast schon gotischen (so sagt man, oder?) Shoegaze Dreampop
A quick #teletext I made for the short but sweet 'Spirit Zone' #demoscene party yesterday (18th Jan 2024) - I placed first in combined gfx, but in fairness, there were only three entries :) Still, I love making these :)
So I'm watching Nathan Dane's livestream of "Pages from #Ceefax"...
...and this has me being reminded of when #teletext was used in the 1980s here in the United States. Of course, it never really caught on in the US (or in North America, for that matter).
However, it's great to see that more and more improvements are being made to Nathan's version of Ceefax, including live news updates (under the "Ceefax Files" banner) and a programming schedule for BBC's radio networks, which I now noticed.

Teletext was (or rather, still is!) broadcast with television signal mainly in European countries....
