Tyne Tees Television turns 60!

This week is an important milestone for us. Tuesday 15th January marks exactly 60 years since Tyne Tees Television first went on-air.

Since then, we've broadcast thousands of hours of television and entertained generations of families across the region.

Over the next week, we'll be tracing the Tyne Tees story every night on our programme. But don't worry if you missed it, here, you can view the memories we've shared.

To celebrate this special week, and to honour the childhood memories of many, we decided to bring back the classic Birthday Slot.

• WATCH: Pam recorded a special segment, reading some of your birthday cards on television. If you missed it, watch it below:

• WATCH: Pam, Ian and Ross hosted a Facebook Live from the studio, right after the programme. If your card wasn't read out on TV, maybe it was here...

• WATCH: Our correspondent Helen Ford traces the Tyne Tees story right back to the beginning. You may spot a few familiar faces...

• WATCH: So we've seen the launch of TTTV and some of the early programmes. Now, Rachel Bullock takes a look back at the magic of the '80s here on Tyne Tees Television...

• WATCH: One thing that has made Tyne Tees so special across the last six decades, is that so many people have allowed us into their lives and opened their hearts to share their experiences. In the 1980s, we began tracing the story of Kaylee Davidson Olley, the first baby to receive a heart transplant. Julia Barthram takes a look back at your stories, shared by us.
