Television

Television, as a medium, can broadcast pictures and images, sounds and music, and even text. It is capable of delivering information nearly instantaneously to millions of homes worldwide. With the increasing presense of satelite television, which cable networks have scrambled to keep up with, we are seeing more VARIETY in the programming including foreign and foreign language programs and channels, more independent programming like Sundance and IFC (the Independent Film Channel), Free Speech Television (an independent news and information channel), world-wide sporting events, and programming that comes directly from college campuses.
