Ceefax service closes down after 38 years on BBC

http://j.mp/QXeQ3g  (BBC)

   "Ceefax was launched on 23 September 1974 to give BBC viewers the
    chance to check the latest news headlines, sports scores, weather
    forecast or TV listings - in a pre-internet era where the only
    alternative was to wait for the next TV or radio bulletin to be aired."
