last saturday there was a radio docu on the bbc monitoring station that recorded radio broadcasts during the war which is where many of the lord haw haw recordings come from what is less known is that there was another station monitoring the german TV broadcasts from Paris (domestic german broadcasts were via cables) were some of these recorded? and did this procedure continue into the cold war? does the KGB have recordings of british TV?  |

William:
Can you remember what title this documentary went out under? I've just scouted through the Radio 4 "Listen again" feature, but can't find it there. Sounds fascinating!

"there was another station monitoring the german TV broadcasts from Paris (domestic german broadcasts were via cables) were some of these recorded?"
Off screen still and writen notes - it was a monitoring service.
"and did this procedure continue into the cold war?"
? I don't undestand the connection between the Eiffel Tower station and the Cold War.
"does the KGB have recordings of british TV? "
? ditto

On a related note, most German TV was "transmitted" using intermediate film technology, and much of that films has survived. Channel 4's Secret History did a programme on the subject a year or so back. |

" ? ditto were the uk usa ussr etc recording each others programs? obviously that would be secret but the psychological departments of the secret services would find such data useful and spies could use tv to familiarise themselves with the relevant culture etc etc the stills would be interesting to see is there a book or web site with some of these on or are they all still classified? |
