Chapter One

Television Programs, Its History and Production

The most universal , proper and convenient way of educating our communities in this development era is through reading, listening and watching real or live objects. The most loved and recommended way of achieving this target in these modern days is through various Television programs or programmed video clips.

Now the good question can be, what is a television program? In a simple layman language, a television program is something people watching on television, it can be a segment of content that is intended for broadcasting over the air, cable television or internet. This may include a single production or in most cases we see a series of related productions. A television program is sometimes known as a television show. According to the Wiktionary, a television program is the content of an individual television broadcast.

There are several kinds of television programs such as television series; which are a series of fictional programs with the same titles and characters. Now each television series is made up of several television programs. These individual programs are called episodes.

A television program can also be fictional or non-fictional, depending on the objectives of the producer and director to educate its audience. In many countries, channels can show advertisements in between the television program or show for a short period of time. These advertisements are usually not part of that television program.

A Brief History of Television

Today televisions can be found in almost everywhere in the world. At least each home owns a television set. But things were not as we saw at around 100 years ago, nobody in the world even knew what a television was. The history tells us that in the late 1947, only a few thousand Americans owned a television but not to even mention one African nation.

One of the first mechanical television used a rotating disk with holes arranged in a spiral pattern. The device was created by two inventors, Scottish inventor John Logie Baird and American inventor Charles Francis Jenkins in the early 1920’s. The world’s first electronic television was created by a 21 year old inventor named Philo Taylor Farnsworth. This boy lived in a house without electricity until he was at the age 14 where he began to think of a system that would capture moving images, transform those images into a code, and then move those images along radio waves to different devices.

The company that dominated the radio business in the United States by that time with its two NBC networks, called RCA, decided to invest $50 million in the development of electronic television to capture the television industry. To direct this effort, the company's president, David Sarnoff, hired the Russian-born scientist Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, who had participated in Rosing's experiments. In the year 1939, RCA televised the opening of the New York World's Fair, including a speech by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was the first president to appear on television. Since then there have been a number of television programs aired through the television such as The Texaco Star Theater (1948),
