	British Television (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The televising of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth in June 1953 was an important landmark for British television with an estimated 20 million people watching the event on sets owned by neighbours and friends and on large screens erected in public venues for the occasion.
		Thereafter, television crime series became more diverse in their representations of the police and less wary of showing them as vulnerable to corruption than in the days when society had required them to be either paternalistic and parochial, like Dixon, or glorified social workers, like the police in Z Cars.
		Not that all television was as bland as Heartbeat in the nineties.

	Encyclopedia article on Quality control [EncycloZine] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		These full time inspectors were the real beginning of inspection quality control, and this was the beginning the large inspection organizations of the 1920’s and 1930’s, which were separately organised from production and big enough to be headed by superintendents.
		The systematic approach to quality started in industrial manufacture during the 1930’s, mostly in the USA, when some attention was given to the cost of scrap and rework.
		It comprises a quality improvement process, which is generic in the sense it can be applied to any of these activities and it establishes a behaviour pattern, which supports the achievement of quality.

	Clavius: Technology - television quality
		The color television signal from later missions was supposed to be "live", but in fact NASA had equipment on the ground that would delay the signal before passing it on to news agencies.
		Normal color television cameras at that time used three image sensor tubes called vidicons, each fitted with a filter for one of the primary red/green/blue colors.
		If you freeze a frame of the color television coverage during an abrupt movement of the camera or subject, you can see a sort of rainbow effect where each color component captures the object in a slightly different position.

	A Quick Tour of Quality Television Programmes
		Television appreciation index (AI) surveys were introduced to Hong Kong a decade ago, and grand-scale annual television programme awards based on AI results are about to be presented for the fifth time.
		From the perspective of social studies, the evolvement of AI surveys from their pilot forms to become full-fledged studies widely endorsed by the industry, is a precious experience as well as an important task in the pursuit of quality social indicators for the entire society.
		On a macro level, among the 100 programme-times of quality shows in the last 5 years, information programmes account for 51 times, current and public affairs programmes, 29 times, and entertainment programmes, 20 times, probably reflecting the degree of audience's appreciation towards different types of programmes.

	The Caucus
		It is instantly clear from reading the Caucus' Aims and Objectives that the issues of the quality of television programming and the creative rights and freedoms of our members are the cornerstones of the organization's existence.
		Notwithstanding these efforts, we stand today at a point in time when the country's dissatisfaction with the quality of television is at an all-time high, while our own feelings of helplessness and lack of power are at an all-time low.
		Quality suffers, too, because the networks buy and operate in ways that force producers to waste large sums of money on nonproductive talent, commissions, and fees.

		The serial should be seen in the context of a cycle of film and television productions which emerged during the first half of the 1980s and which seemed to indicate Britain's growing preoccupation with India, Empire and a particular aspect of British cultural history.
		These fictions were produced during, and indeed reflected, a moment of crisis and change in British life: mass unemployment, the arrival of new social and class configurations tied to emerging political and economic trends all conspired to destabalise and recast notions of national and cultural identity in the early 1980s.
		The television adaptation was necessarily a more conventional rendering of the story, the narrative now flattened out and the events subjected to a more chronological ordering.

	The Simpsons Archive: "The Simpsons as Quality Television"
		Quality television generally is produced by people of quality aesthetic ancestry, who have honed their skills in other areas, particularly film.
		The final element of quality TV, according to the outlined definition, is less its own criterion as it is a result of the successful combination of the previous eleven.
		As viewers, we begin to revolt against television's idealized images of domestic life, while at the same time lovingly embracing "our favorite family." The genius of The Simpsons is that it deconstructs the myth of the happy family and miraculously leaves what is real and valuable about the myth unscathed.

	DIGITAL TELEVISION: HAS THE REVOLUTION STALLED?
		It could provide the broadcast of theater quality sound and picture via cable, antenna or satellite; multicasting which enables the transmission of multiple programs within one digital signal; and signals for data communications that could potentially bring to the TV the capabilities of web pages and interactive compact discs.
		As television became a viable medium in the United States at the start of the Second World War, the establishment of technical standards in transmission and reception equipment was of vital importance.
		Although HDTV (high-definition television) is the most recognized acronym in the field of digital broadcasting, it is not the only digital option.

	Quality in Television Talk Shows
		One direct implication is that public television programmes should call on the democratic attitudes and views of all members of the audience, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, social class or cultural background.
		Second, the essence of public quality is that public broadcasters should make it as easy as possible for their audiences to make sound and intelligent decisions about issues of public life, and about personal aspects of social concerns.
		When addressing the issue of public quality in talk shows it is crucial to posit the existence of two basic styles of journalism: one that moves away from concerns for citizenship, diversity, and equality and one that explicitly seeks to foster such concerns.

	Save Quality Television - Neowin.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Quality television can not be saved with the current model for television.
		Further down the line as broadband, and high definition TV become cheaper and is as common as television as we know it as today, I would like to see the whole television model reworked.
		This is more flexible than normal TV also because if a show starts to go under the show can ask viewers if they would pay a higher subscription rate to cover the costs so the fan base of each show truly could determine the fate of a show.

		A worthy effort in several ways, Quality Popular Television seems blithely aware of this extended saga and of yet another irony buried deep in the story: disguised leftwing politics.
		The problems of producing quality television are mostly talked around, poked and prodded, rather than tackled outright.
		How the best television actually got produced remains a mystery, perhaps because we learn nothing about writers, or political-cultural conjunctions outside the realm of content as such.

	Quality Television -- Not Coming to Your Living Room Any Time Soon (NY Rock Newz)

		And true to its word, VQT was not a cockeyed, zealot-driven mob that crusaded to shut down, say, "Sesame Street" because the Count, in someone's feeble mind, represented a satanic deity.
		And while crying is one of the main criteria for determining quality shows, another surely is Tyne Daly, who starred in "Cagney and Lacey" and was honored in the group's final year for her work on "Judging Amy" (which, I imagine, has a tremendous amount of weeping).

	The Hindu : High quality television coverage on the cards
		For the first time in the history of the SAF Games there will not only be high quality coverage but considerable profit from the sale of the television rights.
		The performance may not be great in many disciplines as compared to world standards, but the coverage by Transworld International (TWI) in collaboration with PTV is expected to be world class.
		It is understood that the production cost of the SAF Games would be about one fifth of the television rights money that Doordarshan would pay for six hours of `live' feed every day.

	Genders OnLine Journal - Presenting innovative theories in art, literature, history, music, TV and film.
		[1] A very vibrant area of work in television studies at the moment dedicates itself to freshening up debates over "quality television" in an era of "must-see" programming (see Jancovich and Lyons, as well as Carr, Metz and Tankel, forthcoming).
		This article considers the meanings of "quality" driving HBO’s "Sex and the City," a television series that operates as a key cultural paradigm through which discussions of femininity, singlehood, and urban life are carried out.
		In particular, the episode "Shortcomings" (Sept. 12, 1999) celebrates the power and stability of female friendship while explicitly revising the dominant definition of family when, in a closing voiceover, Carrie agrees that "family is the most important thing," speaking these words as she enters a restaurant to join Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha.

		The dismantling of feminism in popular culture began long ago, but on television, at least, "Real World" on MTV was a bellwether.
		When it began in 1992, that voyeuristic show took the music video images of wanton women out of the realm of MTV fantasy and into the reality genre, training cameras on the carnal pursuits of ordinary people and teaching teenagers that fame, however fleeting, trumps shame.
		Network executives at Oxygen and other networks justify their slumming by insisting that such shows are breaking down unhealthy taboos; but there are no taboos left on television, except perhaps, girls behaving decently.

		LORD Birt, the former BBC director-general, last night warned of a grim future for quality television in which commercial networks such as ITV and Channel 4 face massive pressure to dump their public service broadcasting commitments to compete in a world of hundreds of digital channels.
		"The main consequence of the explosive growth in the number of television channels is that ITV is clinging on to the public service tradition by its fingertips," he said.
		He told television industry delegates that when analogue television is finally switched off in around 2012, it would "no longer be, in any meaningful sense, a public service broadcaster".
