I agree, June; those archives highlight a distinct commitment to quality. Interestingly, the BBC was the first to introduce a regular news service in 1922.

It is actually wild how much of our culture is built on their archives. I wonder if they have any old clips of local news from my hometown in there too.

Good morning, everyone. There is something so comforting about seeing those vintage clips from the 60s; it really reminds you of the BBC's long history of storytelling. It’s a lovely way to wake up. Which era of broadcasting do you find yourself missing the most?
