Television

Television first emerged in the late forties as "radio with pictures", and was done live in radio stations. There were only three channels and all the programs were in black and white. There was a lot more censorship than today, and only a small amount of programming time. This made for either simple programming or a greater effort. Over time technology progressed to allow for pre-recorded programs with mistakes edited out, programs aired later with less censorship, and even "living color". The seventies, however, marked a decline due to the invention of latenight and the rise of cable. The magic of early television was lost forever as censorship was reduced and more and more channels were added, reducing quality.
