  Television   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A semi-mechanical analogue television system was first demonstrated in London in February 1924 by John Logie Baird and a moving picture by Baird on October 30 1925.
The earliest television sets were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube with a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk, invented by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow) that produced a red postage-stamp size image.
Television in its original and still most popular form involves sending images and sound over radio waves in the VHF and UHF bands, which are received by a receiver (a television set).

 Criminalising Television Licence Evasion
A further 40% of women were between the ages of 26 and 35 (Ibid.) Regardless of their gender, nearly all television licence fine defaulters tended to be white, in contrast to the rest of the prison population in England and Wales.
It has further been suggested that perpetrators of television licence evasion are doubly punished through the imposition of fines, which they often cannot afford, and which may consequently lead to their imprisonment for fine default.
Television licence evasion now constitutes the largest single instance of female crime, and after excluding motoring offences, accounts for the largest number of imprisoned fine defaulters.

 PBS: postmodern media museum by Laura Denham
If commercial television purveys postmodern values, an escape valve for the "panic stricken" audience might well be found in the arena of public television (here in San Francisco, KQED Channel 9), which supposedly rejects consumerism by professing to exclude advertisements, while simulating a sense of meaning and tradition in its mostly nostalgic programming.

A new mono mix was made 1 November 1967 for the original Yellow Submarine film print with no vocal in the first part of the first verse, so an actor for the film could be dubbed in, and this also has less phasing.
