	High-definition television in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, the U.S. President's State of the Union speech in January 2004 was broadcast using a mixture of HD and a few SD camera signals.
		Satellite television companies in the USA, such as Dish Network and DirecTV, started to carry HD programming in 2002, it is speculated (and many say testable) that both companies have also reduced the quality of their Standard Definition Broadcasts in order to clear more bandwidth for HDTV.
		In May, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit surprisingly struck down the Broadcast Flag mandate in a unanimous ruling, holding that the FCC overstepped its statutory authority when it asserted control of any device capable of receiving an HDTV signal.

	Television in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are two basic types of television in the United States: broadcast, or "over-the-air" television, which is freely available to anyone with a TV in the broadcast area, and cable television, which requires a subscription to receive.
		The three major commercial television networks in the U.S. are NBC and CBS, which date to the early days of television, and ABC, founded in 1953.
		The standard broadcast television season in the United States is 22 episodes per season; sitcoms may have 24 or more; animated programs may have more (or fewer) episodes; cable networks with original programming seem to have settled on about 10 or 12 episodes per season, in line with much British television programming.

	Political Processes and Television
		This early use of television for political advertising was the beginning of a trend that has grown so dramatically that televised political advertising is now the major form of communication between candidates and voters in the American electoral system.
		The increased importance of television to political campaigning is also largely responsible for the growth of political or media "handlers." The need to perform well on television (in controlled paid advertising, in debates, on talk-shows, in news interviews, and on pseudo-events planned for television news coverage) has created a great demand for professional campaign consultants.
		While television's role in political campaigns and elections is difficult to overestimate, television's significance in the political process carries over to the effects on governing the nation.

	United States: Cable Television
		Cable television service is available to 95% of all television households in the United States, and about two-thirds of all television households subscribe to it.
		This is the crux of cable television's dependence on municipalities since cities and towns control their own rights-of-way and in many cases also own the utility poles used by cable companies.
		During the 1960s the FCC conceived of cable television as an alternative to broadcasting and promulgated the must-carry, nonduplication, and other rules with the intention of enhancing cable television's community presence and possibilities and at the same time protecting broadcasters from competition with the new delivery system.

	About USA : Media in the United States > Television
		Television has developed since World War II into the most popular medium in the United States, one that has had great influence on American way of life.
		The convergence of the computer with TV is permitting a host of new "interactive" services in which the viewer no longer watches passively, for example "Movies on demand" which allows a viewer to choose between several thousand videos is one interactive service.
		Similarly, the National Cable Television Association (NCTA) announced on February 1, 1994, an initiative to reduce the level of violence on TV, including parental advisories, a violence rating system, and an industry group to monitor programs.

		The only place where television is practicable at all is on the very short wavelengths, and these have a useful range limited roughly by the horizon of the transmitting aerial.
		Add the expense of a very costly television station to the expense of the necessary programs, and you know why there are only two or three television stations actually on the air, for a few minutes, now and then, in all of the United States.
		Today, however, television is terrifically handicapped by the widespread use and high degree of perfection achieved by home movie machines, both silent and with sound, and television engineers bite their nails to keep from screaming when the inevitable comparison is made.

	Public Television in the United States of America: Evolution, Institutions, Issues and Relevance to India: UNESCO-CI
		However, in the United States all the increase in financial support, station numbers, program sources and distribution means, public broadcasting remains an innovative, dynamic yet minor feature of American mass media and hence the entire socio-political discourse.
		However, to its academic, philanthropic, state educational and private high cultural constituencies, non-commercial television was more exciting as compared to educational radio and therefore from the outset it did attract more substantial support locally and nationally.
		This would entail the public television stations in India to develop innovative business models in their respective market areas, involving perhaps, strategic partnerships with private competitors in self-financing mechanisms, participative programming and time bound use of the above mentioned multi-media technologies.

	Protecting Children from Harmful Television: TV Ratings and the V-chip
		Studies have found that television viewing is associated with aggression, a "desensitization" to violence, and increased fear (Wilson et al., 1997).
		More specifically, this paper will briefly describe the history and development of television ratings, discuss three of the major problems associated with television ratings, and then finally point out some of the other methods that are available to help parents cope with the presence of television in their children's lives.
		Theoretically speaking, then, the television ratings provide one way for parents to protect their children from witnessing what parents judge to be potentially harmful television.
