The group called The Test Card Circle presently has a membership of over 200. It was formed in 1989 when a few people discovered they were not alone in enjoying the music played during BBC and ITV Trade Test Transmissions. They teamed up and agreed to appeal in the press and television to investigate whether others had the same interest. It was also decided at the time to publish a regular magazine with readers' memories and details of music and visual sequences. The publicity resulted in a number of enthusiasts from across the United Kingdom coming forward. Each person who contacted the group thought he or she was alone in appreciating test card music.

Description:	THE TEST CARD CIRCLE
	Now, because of increased publicity and the release of several test card music CDs, the TCC has dramatically increased its membership. So what's so appealing about the music? For many it was the mystique. The test card was transmitted by television companies at times when viewers weren't supposed to be watching.
