The interviewee's earliest memories are children's programmes. There was a television in the home from 1953 onwards but they did not get Welsh television or HTV in the Garth area until the 1980s. Radio was very important in their home. Tryweryn did not affect her sense of Welshness at the time but it did years later. She saw the Aberfan disaster at a friend's house, the television was on there all the time and the interviewee remembers seeing the bodies being carried to the chapel. The bad feeling was also portrayed on television too.She saw the Investiture ceremony on a colour television, and remembers seeing protests but nothing on the day of the ceremony. She thinks that everyone enjoyed the show but it meant nothing to her as a Welshwoman. The interviewee says that people did not show enough interest in the 1979 Referendum. In 97 she says that she does not agree with the idea that Carmarthen had 'won the day'. She did not succeed in getting S4C until 1986, but watches the channel more than any other today.
