	Television in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Television first became commercialized in the U.S. in the early 1940s, initially by RCA and CBS.
		Digital television in all its forms is also changing the ways that the medium is used, allowing for greater content and higher-quality images, but production quality on some modern digital cable channels is often derided as nothing better than the no-budget cable access shows.
		Sweeps months are important landmarks in the television year—ratings earned during these periods determining advertising rates until the next sweeps period, therefore shows often have their most exciting plot developments happen during sweeps.

	Courtroom Television
		As television became a part of life in the United States in the 1950s and early 1960s, most states continued to prohibit any form of camera coverage in their courts.
		While the Sheppard courtroom was not affected by television coverage to the degree seen in the Estes case, the Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Clark, was explicit when it came to setting forth guidelines judges should follow to ensure a fair trial.
		Others are concerned that television coverage of cases may be incomplete and contribute to rioting or public misperception and trivialization of crucial issues affecting a case rather than positively informing viewers about the court system.

	Appendix A: Who Invented Television
		Before that date, television was the province of Newtonian electro-mechanical engineers who employed spinning disks and mirrors in their crude attempts to scan, transmit, and reassemble a moving image.
		Still we read time and again that Zworykin made modern television possible when he "invented the Iconoscope for RCA in 1923." The facts are that Zworykin was not working for RCA in 1923, the Iconoscope did not exist at that time, and it is questionable whether Zworykin truly invented it at all.
		The belief that television-the most pervasive mass communications system of the past millennium, and perhaps the next-was "too complex to be invented by a single individual" deprives us of the knowledge of the noble individual whose unique intellect made it all possible.
