How does the media maintain it's business?

The media has been  successful in it's business, and the Television was one great advantage in maintaining that through the years.

The first attempt of a TV started as early as 1935. This TV came with a screen that had a small motor with a spinning disc and a neon lamp, which worked together to give a blurry reddish-orange about half the size of a business card! This year was known as the Mechanical Television era.

So how did this 134 Model B2 Russian TV become transformed to this?:

It was all about competition, thanks to the viewers who showed incredible amount of interest in Television. Since 1939 till present, more than 220 TV manufacturers have emerged,  including  popular maufacturers like Sanyo, Toshiba, Samsung, and Panasonic. These manufacturers were in for making the big bucks. They noticed that the TV was a great way to give the viewers a chance to have everything they wanted, the news, shopping, and entertainment, without leaving their house, and with a click of a remote. Then a huge competition arose as to which type of TV to watch, whether cable or satellite. First cable TV won the viewer's hearts, then satellite surfaced to TV screens, offering many more channels than cable. This gave viewers a chance to flip through channels and watch whatever they chose, with the best possible price deal.

This caused a huge business break.Competitors decided to reinvent the look of the TV, introducing various shapes and sizes of TV's, to see how the viewers would respond to this.  It was all about demand and supply. Then ads resurfaced, a great source of income for these TV manufacturers and producers; the more ads viewers watched, the more they spent money on them. When the advertising company makes it money, then the TV manufacturers do as well, and everybody is happy. And now the bulkier box looking "whatchamacallit" TV set has been replaced with the flattest but widest TV screens yet.

 Surveys show that;

1. Since at least 2005, there have been more TVs per household on average than people per household.

2. In 1975, there were only 1.57 TVs per household, when the average household size was 2.88.

3. Since at least 1995, more households have three TV sets than the number of households with only one TV.

4. There has been almost a complete reversal between 1975 and 2010: In 1975, 57% of American households owned only one TV set, and by 2010, 55% of households owned three TV sets.
