	Terrestrial television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terrestrial television (also known as over-the-air, OTA or broadcast television) was the traditional method of television broadcast signal delivery prior to the advent of cable and satellite television.
		Television broadcasting in the 405-line system continued after the introduction of four analogue programmes in the UHF bands until the last 405-line transmitters were switched off on January 6, 1985.
		The introduction of digital television in the late 1990s and early years of the 21st century led the ITU to call a Regional Radiocommunications Conference to abrogate the ST61 plan and to put a new plan for digital broadcasting only in its place.

	Television in the 20th Century
		Community Antenna Television, CATV, was started in 1948 in America, with most television stations in large cities like New York.
		With the advent of television in the 1950s, print media, radio and film were forced to rethink their approaches towards news and entertainment.
		In 1962, with the communications satellite Telstar I in space, followed by other satellites, news reports from around the world could be transmitted directly to a network broadcast center, giving television unprecendented power to communicate major world events real-time.

	Keeping the community in CATV - 11/1/2003 - CED - CA333508 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-11)
		Back in the day (as they say here in Philly) when CATV was the only means of providing broadcast television to rural and mountainous areas, CATV system owners started to think about putting together local community television programs that would be of high interest to city, county and town residents.
		Operators found, over time, that they could create a scaled-down version of a broadcast television station and compete for advertising dollars with some of the distant broadcast stations that they were bringing in through their mountaintop antennas.
		For systems that had greater channel capacity, such as those in the mid to late 1970s that were beginning to use more than the mid-band for 30 and 40 channel transmission, three channels became the norm (one each for public, educational and governmental purposes).

		Television signals could only be received by homes that were in the "line-of-sight" of the originating broadcast antenna, and people in mountainous areas could not receive the signal.
		Large antennas were constructed in these areas, and cable was run from the antenna to homes so they could receive programming, making these large antennas "community antennas."

	Distant Signal
		The earliest cable systems of the late 1940s and early 1950s, then known as CATV (Community Antenna Television), comprised little more than very tall community antennas connected by wire to homes within a given community.
		Consequently, many communities, particularly small communities in sparsely populated states of the western United States, were unable to benefit from community antennas.
		Hearings on this issue were held throughout the late fifties by both Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, but no decisive regulatory action was taken to limit this type of CATV competition with broadcasters until a landmark 1963 court decison.
