Launched on Sunday 14th November 1999, The TV Room started out life as the TV presentation anorak’s equivalent of a stamp collection – with a vast library of stills, video and background information about channel idents and programme title sequences/set design.
Within a few years, the site expanded to include talent profiles, old programme schedules and features.
After a number of years of hiatus, the site returned in autumn 2018, with a clean canvas and a new structure.
The TV Room logo and associated branding was produced by Martin Anderson.
TV Pres partnership
The TV Room is a founding member of the TV Pres partnership.
With the increased dominance of social media platforms, TV Pres was created to promote independently produced websites that document the history of TV ephemera such as idents, promotions, advertisements, programme graphics and set design.
Other related content provided by participating websites includes: announcer/presenter profiles, studio/building galleries, transmitter galleries and teletext (recoveries and live services).
