		In the television receiver, another electron beam–or set of electron beams, in the case of color television–uses the signals recorded by the camera to reproduce the original image on the receiver's screen.
		Television signals may, however, be sent clearly from almost any point on earth to any other–and from spacecraft to earth–by means of cables, microwave relay stations, and communications satellites.
		Cable television was first developed in the late 1940s to serve shadow areas–that is, areas that are blocked from receiving signals from a station's transmitting antenna.

		But the best part of the FCC ruling was an order to commercial television stations to get busy, increase their broadcasting time to a minimum of 28 hours a week (twice as much as the present best average in New York).

		As the new medium was invading American households, there was something about Godfrey's wide grin, his infectious chuckle, his unruly shock of red hair that made millions tune in not once, but twice a week.

		In terms of the forces of that have shaped and continue to shape the medium of television, Arthur Godfrey's career perfectly illustrates the workings of the star system.

		Until the fragmentation of the television audience due to cable in the 1980s, TV was always considered a "zero sum" industry: that is, for one network to increase in the ratings, another would have to lose.
		If the object of importance in television studies is the entire schedule, and not individual programs, then the programmer of a television network is equivalent to the director of a film: that person responsible for the overall "vision" of a network’s product.
		For example, a mass transit system is a public goods industry (one more customer on the bus pays 50 cents for a ride, but his or her presence does not increase the cost to run the bus).

		The new wonders of science and the threat of the Soviet Union as a powerful new enemy made science fiction a popular genre in radio, television, and film.
		Mutant creatures spawned by radioactive energy and intergalactic dictators unleashing horrific weapons upon Earth were characteristic of science fiction at the time and served as warnings to the very real dangers posed by the atomic age.
		The radio work of Arch Oboler and the significance of his "Rocket from Manhattan," which aired only one month after the dropping of the first atomic bomb and asked serious questions about the use of atomic energy, are examined.
