Mustard TV was a local television station based in Norwich, Norfolk. It broadcast to over 400,000 people, covering Norwich and much of Norfolk reaching Cromer in the north of the county, Dereham to the west and parts of south Norfolk and north Suffolk. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of regional media group Archant and was one of 19 initial local TV stations awarded licences by UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom.

The channel was named as a nod to the Colman family which manufactured mustard in Norwich, although there was no business connection. The production team and studios were at Archant's headquarters in Prospect House, Rouen Road in Norwich. On 31 August 2017 Mustard TV broadcast its last show, having been sold to the That's TV group.

Helen McDermott (born 24 March 1954) is a British radio and television presenter, best known for her work at Anglia Television. McDermott began her broadcasting career in the 1970s as a continuity announcer and newsreader for Westward Television in Plymouth. While at Westward, she made an attempt at a singing career under the pseudonym of 'Helen Barnes'.

The puppet ''BC'' (or ''Birthday Club'') went on to become a fixture on Anglia for 22 years.

The day that Glenn Roeder was appointed, 30 October, the ''PinkUn'' site received 255,000 page impressions and November, to date, has seen 408,000." Origin of name ...

This was settled by the toss of a coin, the BBC winning and choosing N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

West Ham United F
West or Occident is one of the four cardinal directions or points of the compass. It is the opposite direction from east and is the direction in which the Sun sets on the Earth. Etymology The word "west" is a Germanic word passed into some Romance languages (''ouest'' in French, ''oest'' in Catalan, ''ovest'' in Italian, ''oeste'' in Spanish and Portuguese). As in other languages, the word formation stems from the fact that west is the direction of the setting sun in the evening: 'west' derives from the Indo-European root ''*wes'' reduced from ''*wes-pero'' 'evening, night', cognate with Ancient Greek ἕσπερος hesperos 'evening; evening star; western' and Latin vesper 'evening; west'. Examples of the same formation in other languages include Latin occidens 'west' from occidō 'to go down, to set' and Hebrew מַעֲרָב maarav 'west' from עֶרֶב erev 'evening'.
