Some Guiding Points
• Unlike Film (that dealt with racy subject matter) TV is traditionally
more conservative with its content. Such as programming that
reflects strong heteronormative family units.
• Due to advertiser sponsored business model. Don't alienate the
ideological dispositions of particular companies with risky content.
Also, doesn't put people in a buying mood.
• The Digital Revolution, with streaming and advertiser free "binging"
options is changing this model.@
Early Television
• TV history follows radio in a few ways:
• Radio networks become TV networks
• Pattern of regulatory measures with rules on who can operate and how.
• As with all communication technologies when new, there is a flurry of
attempts to control and contain the technology, carve up markets and
suppress competition.
• Television also enjoyed a novelty stage. Early question was "If a person can
transmit audio signals from one place to another, why not visual images as
well?" Late 1800s saw the invention of the cathode ray tube (forerunner of
the TV picture tube) which combined principles of photography with
electricity.
