🟩 CEEFAX | On This Day in 1989 | The BBC's teletext service ditches all the fun stuff and features, and goes with an expanded news, finance, sport, travel and TV/radio listings/support service.

🟩 CEEFAX | On This Day in 1992 | The BBC's teletext service makes some changes.

The page design is slightly more colourful than the regime introduced in Nov 1989 but the editorial structure remains much the same, with a continued emphasis on hard news.
