2. Definition
 Television (TV) is
a telecommunication medium for
transmitting and receiving moving images
that can be monochrome (black-and-white) or
colored, with or without accompanying sound.
"Television" may also refer specifically to
a television set, television programming,
or television transmission.

3.  Commercially available since the late 1920s, the
television set has become commonplace in homes,
businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle
for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news.
Since the 1950s, television has been the main
medium for molding public opinion. Since the 1970s
the availability of vide cassettes, laserdiscs, DVDs
and now Blu-ray Discs, have resulted in the
television set frequently being used for viewing
recorded as well as broadcast material. In recent
years Internet television has seen the rise of
television available via the Internet,
e.g. iPlayer andHulu.

5. Television in the
People's Republic of China
 The television industry in the People's
Republic of China includes high-tech
program production, transmission and
coverage .China Central Television is China's
largest and most powerful national television
station. By the nineteen eighties two thirds of
people in China had access to television
while today over 3,000 channels are available
in the country.

6. History
 When the People's Republic was founded in 1949, the
telecommunications systems and facilities in China were
outdated and rudimentary, and many had been damaged or
destroyed during the war years. Communications in China were
established rapidly in the early 1950s. By 1952 the principal
telecommunications network centered on Beijing, and links to all
large cities had finally been established, also
launching television broadcasts. The first national broadcasts
began on May, 1, 1958, and Beijing Television (now China
Central Television since 1978) was formally launched on
September 2, 1958. A month later would see the launch of the
first regional station, Shanghai Television, on the 9th PRC
National Day, October 1, 1958. Liaoning Television would begin
a year later, and in 1960 Zhejiang and Guandong provinces had
their stations begin fulll broadcasts.

7. Today
 Altogether there are 3,000 television stations across the country.
Large international TV expositions, including the Shanghai
Television Festival, Beijing International Television Week, China
Radio and Television Exposition and Sichuan Television Festival,
are held on a regular basis.
 Besides judging and conferring awards, these festivals conduct
academic exchange and the import and export of TV programs.
Shanghai has become the largest television program trading
market in Asia.
 Since China entered the World Trade Organization, the trend
within China's media industry is to form inter-media and trans-
regional media groups operated with multiple patterns so as to
meet competition and challenges from powerful overseas media
groups.
