• Technology has provided exciting new opportunities
for television producers in many different genres, from
arts programmes to science and community based
programmes.
• The change of television technology in term of
transmitting the signal started in 1950s to relay the
television signal to some subscribers. This helped the
cable company to have effective interactive system
which involve running multiple channel in parallel
direct to subscribers. This helped subscriber to choose
the television to watch because by selecting one
among the channels which run the show in a box.

the program they are interested to watch.
Signals of different television are transmitted
in wire which is rayed down from the cable
company to the subscriber’s home.

4. SATELITE TECHNOLOGY
• In 1980’s the technology of transmitting the
signal started to change where by DBS (Direct
Broadcasting by Satellite) launched a satellite
which was used to transmit the signal from the
television transmitter and distribute that signal to
different area in the world and that signal to be
picked by individual dishes and up to the decoder
which help to decode the signal and translate
that signal to the way that audience can see and
hear what is broadcasted.

6. INTERNET TECHNOLOGY
• The big changes of television broadcast
technology occurred after the innovation of
world wide website which. Wyver says that weak
by weak website carried transcript of the
program and additional material. this technology
helped the production of programs where by was
used to put transcript of full interview so sat
those people who were interested following up
the program to comment about what they see
and the media replayed at that moment.

7. • Wyver continue by saying that through Internet they
developed a mechanism of feedback to the media
where by encouraged people to send email and media
can engage in an email dialogue with the audiences.
That means they gat very detailed of what at least part
of the audience thought about the show on television

transmitting the signal and receiving the signal
where by now internet used to transmit the
broadcasted program live or recorded, and

set so that they can watch program what they
need is to have access to the internet and
they can get what they want on TV.
