PCW was founded by the Angelo Zgorelec
in 1978, and was the first microcomputer magazine in
Britain. PCW’s first cover model, in February 1978,
was the Nascom-1, which also partly inspired
Zgorelec to launch the magazine. Its August 1978
issue featured the colour capabilities of the Apple
II. PCW went monthly from the second edition.
Zgorelec went into partnership with
Felix Dennis who published his first issue in
September 1979 before selling the title to VNU in
1982 The magazine was later owned by Incisive Media,
which announced its closure on 8 June 2009 after 32
years. |
We are avidly building this collection, as computing
and the development of radio programming became
entwined in the early 80's as computerized
programming, commercial scheduling billing and music
scheduling rapidly took over station operations. |
