The development of television technology can be divided along two lines: those developments that depended upon both mechanical and electronic principles, and those which are purely electronic. From the latter descended all modern televisions, but these would not have been possible without discoveries and insights from the mechanical systems. The word television is a hybrid word, created from both Greek and Latin. Tele- is Greek for "far", while -vision is from the Latin visio, meaning "vision" or "sight". It is often abbreviated as TV or the telly. Television ...

The mechanical part usually consisted of a Nipkow disk, which had a series of holes arranged in a spiral. In the camera, the disk had a light-detecting device behind it and, in the reproducer (the display), it had a modulated light source behind. As each hole flies by, a scan line was produced and transmitted to the reproducing device. Because only a limited number of holes could be made in the disks, image resolution on mechanical TV was typically very low, ranging from about one dozen lines up to 100 or so. A few systems ranging int ...

Carlton Television was originally a company set up by Michael Green's Carlton Communications to bid for an ITV franchise. Having failed to oust Thames Television from its London weekday slot in 1987, Carlton finally succeeded in the 1991/2 round for reasons that were seen as political. Rather than acquiring its own studio complex, Carlton hired space from London Weekend Television and took over from Thames at midnight on January 1, 1993. Unlike Thames (which was both a production company and a broadcaster, and following a merger continues to produce programmes as TalkBack Thames), Carlton commissions prog ...

Television first became commercialized in the U.S. in the early 1940s, initially by RCA and CBS. A number of different broadcast systems had been developed through the end of the 1930s. The National Television System Committee (NTSC) standardized on a 525-line broadcast in 1941 that would provide the basis for TV across the country through the end of the century.

During the television licensing freeze of the late 1940s, the demand for television increased. Since new television licenses were not being issued, the only way the demand was met was by Community Antenna Television. The first commercial CATV System was developed in 1948 by John Walson. He had interest in an appliance store that began to carry televisions. A major problem in selling televisions in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania was that the stations which were available were received very poorly. Walson built an antenna on the top of a nearby mo ...

In the United States, most early children's programming originally ran during the late afternoon, or during otherwise-unused time slots on weekend mornings. As time went on, Saturday morning became the most popular time for non-educational children's programming, and by the 1970s, all three major US networks had a full schedule of children's programs running in this space. At the same time, as locally originated live-action children's programming fell out of style with the network affiliates (who filled the slots with cheaper syndicat ...
