Teletext **was** a failure... in the United States.
It's failure here is a complicated (but interesting) story, that has much to do w/ the motives of U.S. commercial broadcasters, which had a vested interest in keeping eyeballs watching adverts.

Ironic that #Teletext has outlasted the now-defunct
#Newseum in Washington DC… who deemed it a failure.

The leading scorers list on Ceefax from this week in 1992.
@GaryLineker five clear of @IanWright0 and @BrianMcClair13, with a young @alanshearer hot on their heels.
Meanwhile @Realaldo474 still knows where the goal is…

I'd normally share some news but it's a bit grim. This is the best I can do! But at least there's the nice "In the Papers" graphic to share (1983)

Teletext was established in NZ 39 years ago, this month! The Deaf community called it an electronic newspaper as it was always changing, putting on the latest news, often before it was published in the newspaper or heard on the radio. A useful resource for Deaf people indeed!

One of the pleasing things that we can "join the dots to" now is that following on from 1996 relaunch of Ceefax, there was an entertainment news page called "Buzz"
Let the good times roll! 😀
