Television – a powerful communication tool with evolving technologies.




Television remains the world’s largest source of audiovisual content, with household adoption still growing globally. Recognizing its significance, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 November as World Television Day to highlight television’s role in global communication and cultural exchange.

With the evolution of large screen sizes, ongoing improvements in video and audio quality, and the rise of handheld devices, TV remains a powerful communication tool, blending traditional stationary and portable viewing to raise awareness on critical issues.

Modern TVs are now interactive, offering multimedia options. The streaming of high-definition video films and music via smart TVs connected to the Internet, make TV a versatile medium for both broadcast and on-demand content.
