The world’s first television broadcast
The first experiments with television
broadcasting were conducted in the
1920s and 1930s in Great Britain and
the United States. In 1936 the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)
started the world’s first television
broadcast, in America the first
program was broadcast in 1941.ю

Popular recognition
After World War II the
important television stations in
the United States emerged:
ABC, NBC and CBS operated
out of New York City. By the
early 1950s television
programs could be received
throughout America. By 1960
television was so widespread
that millions watched the first

greatest.

The influence of television
Television in the 60s had a big
influence on society. For the
first time in history images of a
war were broadcast directly into
the homes of American TV
viewers. This helped change
America’s attitude towards the
war in Vietnam.

Cable and satellite TV
The monopoly of the big
commercial TV stations was broken
in the 80s with the rise of cable TV
and satellite television. By the mid
1980s there were a variety of
satellite and cable services
throughout the world. The largest
impact on the development of
television can be attributed to CNN
– Cable News Network which
started its services in 1980. It was
the first all-news TV channel in the
United States. During the Gulf War
CNN reached the height of its
popularity as the only TV station
that was in Iraq covering the Gulf
War.

Viewers' choice
Towards the end of the 1990s and during the first
decade of the current millennium TV stations focused
on game and reality shows. Who Wants To Be a
Millionaire was developed in Great Britain and
became an immediate success. Versions of the show
are being shown in many countries all over the world.
Other popular formats include dancing and talent
shows. Survivor is a show
where contestants are isolated
on an island or in the
wilderness and compete for
cash and other prizes.
