====Oracle on View==== Between 1983 and 1989, Channel 4 broadcast pages from the ORACLE service on air. Shown in 15-minute bursts, and alternating with 4-Tel on View and showings of the [[ETP-1]] testcard, the pages were seen during the day when Channel 4 was not broadcasting actual programmes. Initially, the pages shown were from one aspect of the ORACLE service with the subject matter changing every so often.<ref name=Y1 /> but from September 1987, ''Oracle on View'' became a news service, adopting this format at the same time that Channel 4 expanded its broadcast hours to accommodate the transfer of [[ITV Schools]] to Channel 4.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdqH7VSKGio 4 Tel On View & Oracle - Fri 30 Dec 1988]</ref> Oracle on View ended on 31 March 1989, three days before Channel 4 started broadcasting breakfast television.
