Glasgow ETV—: a quinquennial report
Abstract
When Glasgow Educational Television Service went into operation in August 1965, educationists were still mulling over the educational, technical and financial implications of local authority CCTV and coming up, one after another, with the 64 000 dollar question: Can Glasgow translate what is undoubtedly an interesting but very expensive television experiment into a sound, long‐term educational investment? There could of course be no instant, reassuring answer to that kind of question, no cast‐iron guarantee that the City Fathers would not end up with the whitest of white elephants in their Education Department. The ETV Service was the first closed‐circuit network of its kind to be set up in Europe — fine copy, to be sure, for the municipal PRO but a very hot seat for those of us whose job it was to make the Service work.
