THE BIG SWITCHOVER to digital television happened today, and the analogue TV signal is officially gone.
We’d like to think that if you haven’t sorted out your Saorview (or other digital provider) yet, you could still whack on the telly and see some familiar faces from down through the years, kind of like nostalgic test cards.
Faces like these…
Zig and Zag
Don Conroy
Where in the World
Bosco
Zuppy and Socky (and Emma)
Calor Housewife of the Year
Glenroe
Radharc
The Late Late Show
Crimecall (and Garda Patrol)
Echo Island
Anything Goes
Scratch Saturday
Wanderly Wagon

Honorable mentions go to: Johnny Logan in the white suit, newsreaders Don Coburn and Ann Doyle, Kenny Live, Fortycoats, Pajo, Pat Ingoldsby and many many more.
