Teachers TV rises from the ashes

11 May 2011

 The team that ran Teachers TV is about to return in a new guise as 'Teachers Media'.

The new service will provide free access to the entire archive of the former Teachers TV, which shut after the government unexpectedly removed its funding.

Although the archive will remain free, the new service proposes to charge a fee for some additional services as a way of covering its operational costs. 

The team includes Andrew Bethell, the former Chief Executive of Teachers TV, and David Libbert, the channel's former  Creative Director. Andrew is currently leading the team developing the Teachers' Channel in the USA, based on the model of Teachers TV.

Full access to the 3,500 videos in the archive will be available shortly. The new channel hopes eventually to make new content. For more details see: www.teachersmedia.co.uk/

Another company, Ten Alps plc, is also launching a service providing access to the Teachers TV archive. Its service will be called 'Schoolsworld'.
