Notes

[edit]
  1. ^Although 180-line cathode ray tube receivers were manufactured in France in 1936, a mechanical scanning camera was still used at the transmitter inParis until 1937.
  2. ^Off from 1940 to 1950 due to Japan's entry in theWorld War II and subsequent US occupation.
  3. ^Off from 1939 to 1945 during World War II. The service reached the entirety of the Russian SSR alone by the late 1960s.
  4. ^Off from 1939 to 1946 during World War II.
  5. ^Czechoslovakia became two separate states, namely theCzech Republic andSlovakia in 1993.
  6. ^License auctioned to Silvio Santos and became SBT São Paulo in 1981.
  7. ^License auctioned to Organizações Bloch in 1983 and became TV Manchete Rio de Janeiro, now RedeTV! Rio.
  8. ^Station broadcast in English from its launch to shutdown in 1954, as a consequence of the FCC freeze, which was lifted at the time of closure.
  9. ^Licensed to Altzomoni, in the neighboring State of Mexico.
  10. ^Limited toIstanbul.Ankara got television in 1968 whenTRT started its television service. In 1971, ITU TV shut down and TRT started a station in Istanbul. From then on, a slow process to start a national service began.
  11. ^Dutch-languageBRT used the Belgian625-line standard andFrench-languageRTB used the Belgian 819-line standard (abandoned in 1963). Early Belgian sets were very expensive because they could receive four different standards: Belgian 625, European 625, Belgian 819, French 819. Later a fifth standard was added with the French 625-line standard.
  12. ^Rollout for NHK started in 1953 in Kanto, 1954 in Tokai and Kansai and between 1956 and 1958 for the rest of Japan. For commercial TV, limited to Kanto from 1953 to 1955 (NTV andKRT) and spread between 1956 and 1963 to the rest of the country. Saga Prefecture only gained television (NHK andcommercial) in 1969 due to overspill from neighboring prefectures and usage of UHF as the preferred band.
  13. ^English-language station affiliated to American networks (with an independent phase) until 2015, when it became a Canal 5 affiliate.
  14. ^Coverage was limited toManila until 1959, and by 1972 had also reachedBaguio,Batangas,Bacolod,Cebu andDavao. During theMartial Law that led intofirst ABS-CBN shutdown, there were still many regions in the Philippines that hadn't been electrified, making a total nationwide expansion unviable for years.
  15. ^Telesaar went defunct in 1958 as it was ordered by the German authorities.
  16. ^First television broadcasts in the island of Ireland, eight years before the Republic. Local programmes started in 1955.
  17. ^License auctioned to Organizações Bloch in 1983 and became TV Manchete Minas, now RedeTV! Minas.
  18. ^Served only inKindley Air Force Base.
  19. ^abThe channel launched in 1956 as a continuation of a project that had aired a public broadcast in May 1955 as the first television broadcast in Finland.[29]
  20. ^The date refers to the launch of the television channel in republics and autonomous provinces ofYugoslavia, there were: RTV Zagreb inSR Croatia (1956), RTV Ljubljana inSR Slovenia (1958), RTV Belgrade inSR Serbia (1958), RTV Skopje inSR Macedonia (1964), RTV Sarajevo inSR Bosnia and Herzegovina (1969), RTV Titograd (Podgorica) inSR Montenegro (1971), and inSAP Kosovo (RTV Priština) andSAP Vojvodina (RTV Novi Sad) was introduced in 1975.
  21. ^Television was introduced inHong Kong when it was aBritish crown colony until 1997. The Rediffusion service was a cable network until 1973, when it converted to terrestrial television.
  22. ^Date where relays from Italy became available.
  23. ^This station was the first in the Chinese world to be strictly terrestrial from the outset.
  24. ^Originally limited to Tehran area, later to Abadan, and from 1969, expanded to the whole nation. Television of Iran was absorbed intoNational Iranian Television in 1969; since the main network of the NIRT used a different frequency from TVI (which used channel 3) in Tehran, it's likely that the former TVI frequency was turned off.
  25. ^Wales had received broadcasts from England since 1952.
