During the early 1960s, the U.K. magazine "Practical Television" first published a regular TV DX column edited by Charles Rafarel. By 1970, Rafarel's column had attracted considerable interest from TV DXers worldwide. After Rafarel's death in 1971, UK TV DXer Roger Bunney continued the monthly column, which continued to be published by "Television Magazine". With the demise of "Television Magazine" in June 2008, Bunney's column finished after 36 years of publication. In addition to the monthly TV DX column, Bunney has also published several TV DX books, including "Long Distance Television Reception (TV-DX) for the Enthusiast" 1981 , and "A TV DXer's Handbook" 1986 .
