	Kenya
		Kenyan television is a classic example of an industry whose good chances for development have been consistently frustrated by government sensitivity and political interference.
		Television also failed to become an authoritative national medium: studies in 1985 showed that only 17% of electronic media audience regarded television as the best source of information, compared to 86% who rated radio as their prime news source.
		Besides being a preserve of the educated minority in the country, the spread of ownership of television sets was severely curtailed by the poor penetration of the national electrical power grid.

	"See It Now": Murrow vs. McCarthy
		On March 9, 1954, Murrow, then the most respected journalist in America, engaged in a tough exposé of the senator and his tactics.
		He was obviously uncomfortable in the television studio, and, as Murrow suggested, prone to flinging wild charges, calling Murrow "the leader of the jackal pack." Millions of Americans watching at home had seen enough.
		On December 2, 1954, the U.S. Senate formally adopted a resolution censuring — formally reprimanding — McCarthy for conduct unbecoming to a senator.

		The program was similar to the radio show (several of the radio scripts were recycled for television, as was somewhat common with other radio shows that moved to television) but with the addition of visual gags.

	1954: End of the Crosby Era
		No doubt Bing could have moved to television with his weekly variety show, but Crosby never ventured seriously into television broadcasting until the 1964-65 season, when he starred in a weekly half-hour situation comedy and became a semi-regular host of a variety show, The Hollywood Palace, for ABC TV.
		Perhaps part of Bing's reluctance to join television on a weekly basis was related to the greater demands of the medium -- makeup, toupees, hot lights and scripts to be memorized.
		The changing beat of popular music was heralded in 1954 by the success of "Rock Around the Clock" recorded for Decca Records on April 12 by Bill Haley and His Comets.

	The DuMont Television Network: Channel Six
		One of the factors hampering DuMont in the development of its television network was the "freeze" on new TV stations imposed by the FCC in 1948, and the subsequent decision to allocate UHF channels to television.
		What was intended as a six-month moratorium on the authorization of new television stations dragged on for years, as the allocation of UHF channels and the possibilities of color television were debated.
		In a 1954 trade publication, DuMont touted WGLV-TV, channel 57, in Easton, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Allentown) as a high-power UHF installation which was "100% DuMont equipped." This was, asserted DuMont, the future of UHF television.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Death Takes a Powder
		Rumor has it that after his death scene, Peter Lorre (as the villain Le Chiffre) was unaware that he was in the shot, and promptly rose from the dead and walked out of frame.
		Many programs aired in the early days of commercial broadcast TV were staged live, and flawed performances were viewed by audiences numbering in the millions rather than the hundreds.
		Despite this bobble, this was a great show with Powell turning in a top grade performance as a casual, cool detective, who unraveled a complicated case, but I'll bet he will always insist on a filmed show in the future to avoid such boners, even tho he had no part in causing this one.

	Father Knows Best
		In the audio version the title of the show ended with a question mark, suggesting that father's role as family leader and arbiter was dubious.
		Young and Rodney, friends since 1935, based the series on experiences each had with wives and children; thus, to them, the show represented "reality." Indeed, careful viewing of each of the series' 203 episodes reveals that the title was actually more figurative than literal.
		While none of the kids experienced the sort of social problems some of the real-life actors faced (Young was an alcoholic and the adult Chapin became a heroin addict), this was more the fault of television's then-myopic need for calm than Young and Rodney's desire to side-step the truth.

		Based upon a 1938 article written by Eric Knight for the Saturday Evening Post, Lassie would follow her many owners through one adventure after another for more than 50 years.
		While the original stories and a series of films were set in the British Isles, as dictated by the original stories, by the time she debuted on television she was on an American farm.
		In so far as she created problems for her owners, they were problems caused by her eagerness to help others, a commitment to a community larger than the family, and more often, her role was to rescue those in peril and to set right wrongs that had been committed.
