A classic 16mm Coronet film about the magic of Television back at the very beginning of it all. Lots of great footage of early 1950's television production and some good illustrations and animations about just how television works (as the title states). Enjoy!

    I enjoyed this episode, thank you! Out of curiosity, do you do sound processing at all for these videos as you do for the videos to normalize them when they are colored?

    I love it! The five pillars of the new medium of television were news, entertainment, education sports and advertising. Correct! Except it should have been advertising, advertising, advertising, advertising and whatever.

    I grew up with a series of books (French – by Aisberg). Le radio ? Mais c'est simple ! ; La télévision ? Mais c'est simple !; and La télévision en couleurs ? Mais c'est presque simple ! 😂

    This is a subject that I have lived as a kid growing up in a TV repair shop.. I could build a tv set from scratch..

    Here I am in 2022 understanding something from the '50s that I find crucial still today in understanding the basis of our complex (yet simplified) digital era
