  Central Independent Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central Independent Television, commonly referred to as Central, is the British Independent Television company that succeeded ATV on 1 January 1982.
When Central launched, its region was subdivided into two sub-regions; one for the West Midlands (with studios in Birmingham), and one for the East Midlands (with studios in Nottingham).
Central News South was again a pioneer of new technology when, in the Spring of 2001, state-of-the-art Quantel digital video servers and edit suites were installed, along with a complete re-fit of camera and VTR equipment.

 China Central Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China Central Television or Chinese Central Television, commonly abbreviated as CCTV (Chinese: 中国中央电视台 pinyin: Zhōngguó Zhōngyāng Diànshìtái), is the major broadcast television network in Mainland China.
Organizationally, it is a subministry of the People's Republic of China's central government within the State Administration of Radio, Television, and Film and as such it does not have any editorial independence from the PRC government.
CCTV has sixteen different channels of programming content and competes with television stations run by local governments (such as BTV and several regional channels) and foreign programming which can be readily received via satellite television.

 Central Europe
They saw television as a major element in helping form this national consciousness, and were therefore very concerned that it reflected what they said were the genuine "Hungarian" concerns and cultural values.
It was argued in Central Europe that the only way out of the trap of government intervention in television, which turned every attempt to create western European-style public service broadcasters into the mere mouthpieces of the ruling party, was to establish a commercial system.
As we have seen, the political culture in Central Europe is not one in which the government is likely to increase the subsidy to television without demanding concessions in return.

 Central Independent Television | Ident
With a tweak to the Central jingle that accompanied its idents since 1982, the new logo was revealed from the side, as coloured balls splashed onto the crescent segments of the logo.
One of the first stations to be usurped under this leniency was Central, its £2,000 bid for their new franchise period in 1991 left the station susceptible to a take-over.
Central’s cake logo remained intact however, and older idents were rationalised and complemented with a new ident package, with the “cake” logo rendered in a number of textures and colours.

 Television - Nostalgia Central
Television in the 1960s was very different to now.
You scheduled time for it, and it was likely you just turned it on for specific shows (in the way people used to treat radio before TV came along).
In the USA until 1965 and in England until 1967, television was in fl and white (if you wanted colour you went to the cinema and watched a movie) and everyone was learning on the job.

 Central Europe Review - Issue Six: Television in Central and Eastern Europe
The advent of satellite television and inexpensive video recorders brought the world to the Communist bloc at a time when the ruling party in each country was desperately trying to keep the lid on the rotting system it had created.
When they are not complaining about "Americanisation," Central European media experts are worrying about dumbing-down on the new private, commercial stations in the East; however, the common man is not really as naive as Central European intellectual elites believe him to be.
On the issue of Central and East European television, what is more worrying than the alleged Americanisation or the supposed dumbing-down is the repatriation of profits generated from newly private stations to Western firms.
