February 16, 1957 – Disc jockey Pete Murray began hosting BBC television’s first Rock ‘n’ Roll music program “The Six-Five Special,” named for the time the show began, five minutes after six. The show was given airtime immediately after the abolition of what was called the Toddlers’ Truce, which had seen television stop between 6 and 7 pm so children could be put to bed. #ROCkabillyHop #SixFiveSpecial #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
