Dates worth noting in Britain, Ireland and Germany

On this day in 1954 the BBC broadcasted its first television news bulletin.

We have come a long way in 67 years.

On December 31, 1961 RTÉ Television began broadcasting.

ZDF, one of Germany’s two public broadcasting television companies, announced on Friday the appointment a new director. 

The man’s name is Norbert Himmler. And his father was a police chief. An unfortunate name surely and then the poor man’s father's occupation.

Norbert Himmler will take up his new job next March.
