Teletext is still alive in many parts of Europe. The Austrian broadcaster still has a service and they have an online interface for it: http://teletext.orf.at/

Teletext found its niche.

The Austrian broadcaster ORF even released an TELETEXT app (!) this year [1], available for Android [2] and iOS [3].

An then there is also art, as with every "old" tech. Check out the International Teletext Art Festival [4].

Dutch teletekst has had one for years. Strange, actually, that each country is releasing its own.

Here's the online version of Finland's national public-broadcasting company's teletext: http://www.yle.fi/tekstitv/txt/P100_01.html

The UI of its guide to the Rio games (http://www.yle.fi/tekstitv/txt/P602_01.html) is actually wildly preferable to the web version (http://yle.fi/urheilu/rio_2016).
