Employees of Gulbene TV meet in the library
Celebrating 30 years of Gulbene television, on November 3, a meeting of television employees was held in the Gulbene district library - an evening of memories.
On November 19, 1993, the first story was broadcast, reflecting the events of the November 18 festivities in Gulbene. The filmed material was edited in Guntara Enika apartment until three in the morning. Gulbene television operated for 18 years - until October 20, 2011, when the last news broadcast took place. During these years, about 2,000 programs have been created and broadcast. What is hidden behind these numbers - we talked about it during the course of this evening.
In addition to news broadcasts on Monday and Thursday evenings, residents had the opportunity to watch such interesting programs as "Minimize my puzzle", "You and I are in chaos", "Pēcvārds", "Let's travel together", in which residents talked about their travel impressions. The informative program series "Here before years" created by Imantas Rinkis and Irinas Zeibartes was very popular. For ten years, the TV team organized the "TV bike" competition, in which 70-90 young cyclists participated every year, in three disciplines - speed riding, slow riding and agility.
We remembered how television began, how the announcer competition was held, about the opportunity to be present at that time and record all the important developments, about the feelings of conducting discussions with politicians, about the questions asked by the audience. At that time, the program texts were simply written down by hand. The collection of lost and found items was special, with which many funny stories are related.
In the course of the evening, we looked at photos from the daily lives and holidays of television employees, watched fragments of some programs. At the end of the meeting, the video filmed more than 20 years ago helped us immerse ourselves in nostalgia - what Gulbene looked like back then. We invite you to view photos of Gulbene television in the stairwell of the Gulbene county library.
