Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted July 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2011 How long has it been since BBC1 stopped doing the National Anthem at the end of the night? That used to wake me up when I fell asleep watching the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted July 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2011 The shipping forecast during a test match down under is a particular joy - the times I've gone to sleep in and around those situations, with a hot chocolate and some Tunnocks.

That used to wake me up when I fell asleep watching the TV. Â It's been a good few years, and I think it's mainly because BBC1 no longer "shuts down" at any point. There's no more Pages from Ceefax, it's programming all the way through, even if a couple of hours of it is simulcast of BBC News 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 How long has it been since BBC1 stopped doing the National Anthem at the end of the night? That used to wake me up when I fell asleep watching the TV. Â It was some time in late 1997, when the News 24 service took over at closedown. I believe BBC Radio 4 is the only reaming service to play the anthem and have a proper "close down" but even then, the BBC World Service takes over the frequency until Radio 4 resumes usually around 5am with another shipping forecast.
