The Book, Cat, & Cat Book Lovers Almanac

of historical trivia regarding books, cats, and other animals. Actually this blog has evolved so that it is described better as a blog about cats in history and culture.

April 18, 1930

'[O]n 18 April 1930, the BBC's news announcer had nothing to communicate. "There is no news," was the script of the 20:45 news bulletin, before piano music was played for the rest of the 15-minute segment.'

This event was recalled by the BBC more recently. However that may be considered, and I have a little problem imagining it, no news may include no cat news.
