stop press: WDR recovers web pages from 1956...

[the following article is rated SGR (some german required)]

just saw the link on spiegel online about the west german radio station WDR recovering their 1956 web site from their archives!

excellent archaeological work! they managed to completely restore their vintage 1956 web site. i particularly like the tv programme section:

  • on sunday, 1 january 1956 they had only three (3) broadcasts, while
  • on monday, 2 january 1956 they had an almost full programme with a rocking 9 broadcasts and a “switch-over at 21:25” (whatever that was). wow! those were the days…
