8. T.V

TELEVISION!
My favourite electronic device when i was younger. coming in from school to shove on my favourite cartoons ('Scooby Doo', 'Dragonball Z' and 'Ed, Edd and Eddy') was always fantastic.

So where did it all begin?
-Well T.V broadcasting by the BBC began on the 2nd of November 1936 from Alexandra Palace in London. however it was then suspended in 1939.
-Around 20,000 t.v sets were bought between 1936-1939.
-The TV licence was introduced in 1946 and that is when the TV service resumed.
-The first Mass viewing of a programme was in 1953 when the Queens coronation was broadcast to a staggering 20million.
-By 1969, both the BBc and ITV were being broadcast in colour.
-By1998 the first digital services are launched. In 1990 BSkyB was formed

Now thats a very basic rundown of the history of television, within all these times you had channel 4 and 5 starting up along with television households overtaking the number of those with only radio. TV is more popular due to the fact you get more with it than you do with radio... you can see things too.
