麻豆社

The 麻豆社 launched 麻豆社 Two - the third national TV station - on 20 April 1964. The debut evening was planned as an enticing showcase of the best of the new service, but was ruined by outside events, as a fire at Battersea Power Station caused a blackout across much of central and west London. All that was broadcast was the news, which came from Alexandra Palace. The first full programme to go out on 麻豆社 Two was Playschool, transmitted at 11 the following morning. The opening night line-up was eventually shown that evening, featuring a performance of Kiss Me Kate - starring Howard keel and Patricia Morrison.
