Television was introduced in the late 1920's and early 1930's to American consumers. It immediately grabbed consumers and was a new way for different people to connect and share common interests over their favorite programming to watch. Not only did the release of the television connect consumers and families in a new way, but it also created a vast new venue for advertisers and companies to broadcast their new products and services. It was a new and exciting technology for its time and it grabbed the attention of everyone around for how revolutionary it was. As television first came about, there was not a whole lot of programming to be broadcasted so the shows and programs only ran for a few hours of the day at first. The early broadcasts consisted mostly of news, sports, music, and comedy skits. This was easily consumable content for the American people as these are things everyone is able to tune into and enjoy with their friends and family. This was one of the biggest aspects of television in its time. The fact that two people could watch the same program from separate places, then come together and discuss the program that they watched in person was an impactful thing in this time. It helped people connect more and understand the world a little better with better outreach for news.
