Just been reading up about GBC, not a broadcaster was aware of before. Must have one of the smallest audiences of any national broadcaster, the population is abut 32,000 - much smaller than the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Their Wikipedia entry is very detailed, but only to about 2012. One thing that intrigues me is that they simulcast the BBC's 6 o clock news when it launched and supposedly the BBC newsreader used to welcome Gibraltar and mention the time there. Sounds a bit iffy, I wonder if that ever happened  even as a one off or whether GBC got the BBC to record something for them

I don't know about GBC but I do know when BFBS launched its live service to troops and families in Germany in the early 1980's News At 5.45 had a story about it (16.45 onwards):
