Looks like the book I have been waiting for someone to publish for years is about to be published....
This is the ATV Showbook from Transdiffusion - a 248 page large format book looking at the history of ATV from 1955 - 1982. Cost is £25. You can order one here:-
BUT - if you want one get a move on - this is a time-limited offer that ends on Oct 30th - they will then get printed only the books that have been ordered to be delivered (hopefully) late November.
For those who have never visited Transdiffusion it is well worth it (https://transdiffusion.org/) - it is a site that specialises in broadcasting history. Plenty on here about ATV, ABC, Central, BRMB, BBC Midlands etc. They also have several "sub-sites" including ones for ATV, ABC Weekend Television and Alpha Studios.
I ordered their previous print project about ITV Studios - this contained a number of items about ATV and ABC. If I can get their permission I will scan the local ones and post onto the forum.
