24 hours until the site launch! We at the archive team just wanted to thank you all for the warm reception so far. It has been a long journey to getting to public access, and it is only really just beginning.

Another old MewsQs segment for our grand countdown. If you want to celebrate our launch in style, why not make your own fruit loaf? We've put a recipe down below!

One of the great difficulties of archiving the Mewscast is the lack of resources anywhere. Due to its small region and remarkable lack of attention, we are grateful for anything we can get! This, for example, is one of our oldest entries. As far as we know, it was never actually released to print.

Four more days, which means it's only fitting to share a small little teaser of what our web dev team has concocted...

A new week begins, and what better way to start it than a compilation of still frames of our resident newscat. They were certainly a very expressive cat, an unconventional choice for the time

Did you know that Signal Hill Studios was ran entirely by a colony of rats? From sets, to the cameras, to even the music, the staff lovingly nicknamed the Rat Crew was behind it all. There's very few things pertaining to the crew image-wise, but we found this old poster fitting for today's post

A week to go until we open the doors to our website! Today, we wanted to share one of the many segments of the Mewscast. MewsQs started in 1960, presumably on the coattails of the Today Show taking call-ins a year prior, but with mail-ins instead, and promptly became a staple in the programme

A lot of our footage of the original archive is incredibly damaged, which is as expected for something as old as The Mewscast! But occasionally we are able to recover a few seconds of footage, like the example below

WHO IS THE HOST? Breaking Mews, the resident host/newscat/what the broadcast required them to be. Optimistic, curious, absurdist in tone, the program hinges on their bizarre antics. It is unsure if Mews was a character or an alias, as the original actor has never been named in our current records.

As we approach release, we felt it pertinent to answer some FAQs in the next few days WHAT IS THE MEWSCAST? The Mewscast was a regional "news" entertainment broadcast that aired daily from summer 1958. A one-man show with a variety of segments, mostly hinging on absurdist observations.
