Television

Television is an electronic medium used for transmitting moving images and sound. It serves as a platform for broadcasting various types of content, including news, entertainment, education, and sports. Television operates by receiving signals transmitted over the air, through cable, or via satellite, which are then converted into visible images and audible sound that can be viewed and heard by audiences.

Television is split into several formats, including analog and digital, with digital television offering higher quality images and sound. Programs are typically divided into genres, and television can provide live programming or pre-recorded shows. It has evolved from traditional cathode-ray tube (CRT) screens to modern flat-panel displays, such as LCD and OLED.

Television plays a significant role in shaping culture and providing information, acting as a source of entertainment and a platform for social discourse. The rise of streaming services has also transformed how audiences consume television content, allowing for on-demand viewing rather than scheduled broadcasts.
