| Ally Pally - as she is known to her friends - is, of course, the most historic television site in the country. The Baird 240 line and Marconi-EMI 405 line systems were broadcast on alternate weeks from 2-Nov-1936 but the Baird system was dropped on 6-Feb-1937. Broadcasting continued until noon on 1-Sep-1939. During the war, the Alexandra Palace transmitters were used for electronic counter measures. Broadcasts resumed on the afternoon of 7-June-1946 with the EMI 405 line system. Alexandra Palace was replaced by Crystal Palace as the London BBC TV transmitter on 28th March 1956. A number of links to other resources are included at the bottom of the page. |
