  Sexual Orientation and Television
When the freeze on television broadcast licenses was lifted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1952, television stations proliferated throughout the United States.

Since most television use by the American public has been and continues to be in a domestic environment, the networks and advertisers easily assumed that the viewing audience mirrored, in its values, the idealized middle-class nuclear family of the 1950s.

 Encyclopedia of Television
The story of a New Jersey mafia boss and his nuclear and criminal families, it was the first cable series to achieve larger audience ratings than its broadcast competition.
The program mobilizes a sustained, ongoing experience of moral ambiguity, as Tony and some of his criminal cronies display a range of comic, sentimental, deeply ordinary traits in their dealings with aging parents, wives, children, mistresses, and then in other moments perform acts of sickening disloyalty, brutality and murder.
The series format- traditional television's essential feature- is The Sopranos' fundamental resource as well, permitting the program to dramatize the unsteady maturation of Tony's children, for example, the ebb and flow of his cankered intimacy with his wife Carmella, the murderous shifting alliances and hostilities within his own crime family and among rival mobsters.

 User channel selection control for a video reciever RF modulator - United States Patent 5,541,671
The operator then selects that same channel on the television receiver to ensure that the television receiver is tuned to the same carrier frequency as the satellite receiver RF output.
The adjustable RF modulators allow an unused television channel in the channel 1-125 band, for example, to be used as the modulator channel.
As a result the television tuner will not be set to the carrier frequency of the video receiver modulator, and the television receiver will not display a valid picture.
