The interviewee got a television at home in 1949 and says that she began taking an interest and watching the news in the 1950s. She discusses a number of programmes she remembers from the period. They watched the Coronation as a family, they lived in London at the time and the occasion felt close. She followed Tryweryn in newspapers. Her husband worked abroad in USA and the Vietnam War got everyone's attention. She was very interested in the Investiture as it was an historical event. She would listen to rugby matches on the radio whilst ironing and would get excited every time. She could not receive S4C when the channel was launched as Minera Mountain was between them and the mast. She remembers going to a friend's house to watch.She was abroad again during the Miners' Strike and saw the news in an amended form for an international audience.
