HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
If you're a journalist, media student, programme maker or TV fan we can help find the information you need.
We hold hundreds of press cuttings, documents, photographs and publications spanning 1980 to the present day all about TV-am. All areas are covered, everything from financial results, stock market floatation, franchise applications and facts and figures about the breakfast television audience.
Our expert knowledge in this area plus our many contacts and connections with former TV-am staff and contributors means we really can provide unrivalled research and information.
We hold numerous photographs, such as this one below which features Anna Ford in the TV-am newsroom in 1983 a few weeks before the station went on air.
