	'''Television''', sometimes shortened to '''TV''' or '''telly''', is a [[telecommunication~~]] [[~~Media (communication)\|medium]] used for [[transmitting]] moving ~~[[image]]s~~ and [[sound]].

'''Television''', sometimes shortened to '''TV''' or '''telly''', is a telecommunication Media (communication)\|medium used for transmitting moving images and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television show, or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports.

	Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new [[technology]] marketed to consumers. After [[World War II]], an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]], and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and ~~[[institution]]s~~. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing [[public opinion~~]].<ref name="Diggs-Brown2011p53">Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011) [https://books.google.com/books?id=7c0ycySng4YC&pg=PA53&lpg=PA53 ''Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice''] p~~. ~~48</ref>~~ In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the U.S. and most other developed countries.

	The availability of various types of archival storage media such as [[Betamax]] and [[VHS]] tapes, high-capacity [[hard disk drives]], ~~[[DVD]]s~~, [[flash drives]], high-definition [[Blu-ray ~~Disc]]s~~, and cloud [[digital video recorders]] has enabled viewers to watch pre-recorded material—such as movies—at home on their own time schedule. For many reasons, especially the convenience of remote retrieval, the storage of television and video programming now also occurs on ~~[[Cloud computing\|~~the cloud]] (such as the video on demand service by Netflix). At the end of the first decade of the 2000s, [[digital television]] transmissions greatly increased in popularity. Another development was the move from standard-definition television (SDTV) ([[576i]], with 576 [[interlaced ~~video\|interlaced]]~~ lines of resolution and [[480i]]) to [[high-definition television]] (HDTV), which provides a ~~[[Image resolution\|~~resolution]] that is substantially higher. HDTV may be transmitted in different formats: [[1080p]], [[1080i]] and [[720p]]. Since 2010, with the invention of [[smart television]], [[Internet television]] has increased the availability of television programs and movies via the Internet through [[streaming video]] services such as [[Netflix]], [[Amazon Prime Video]], [[iPlayer]] and [[Hulu]].

	Television signals were initially distributed only as terrestrial television using high-powered [[Radio frequency\|radio-frequency~~]] [[~~television ~~transmitter]]s~~ to ~~[[broadcasting\|~~broadcast]] the signal to individual television receivers. Alternatively television signals are distributed by ~~[[Cable television\|~~coaxial cable or optical fiber]], ~~[[Satellite television\|~~satellite]] systems and, since the 2000s via the Internet. Until the early 2000s, these were transmitted as ~~[[analog television\|~~analog]] signals, but a ~~[[Digital television transition\|~~transition]] to digital television was expected to be completed worldwide by the late 2010s. A standard television set consists of multiple internal [[electronic ~~circuit]]s~~, including a tuner for ~~[[Tuner (electronics)\|~~receiving]] and decoding broadcast signals. A visual [[display device]] which lacks a ~~[[tuner (television)\|~~tuner]] is correctly called a [[video monitor]] rather than a television.
