Teletext Ltd.
Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEL : Teletext Ltd.
Teletext Ltd is the provider of Teletext & Digital Interactive services for ITV, Channel 4 and Five in the United Kingdom.
Teletext Ltd started providing teletext services for ITV and Channel 4 on 1 January 1993, replacing the previous ORACLE service which had lost the franchise.
Recently Teletext Ltd has continued its role of offering text services by investing in new digital text services (similar to BBCi) for the channels it serves on digital television services.
The company is now owned by Daily Mail and General Trust and Media Ventures International.
In spite of the name, Teletext Ltd was far from the first Teletext service in the UK, and nor is it the only one still in existence. The BBC (who were the original developers of the teletext system) launched their own Ceefax service in 1974, the same year that Teletext's predecessor, ORACLE also appeared. Ceefax continues to run to this day.
