In July, TV people celebrated a significant date. 81 years ago, the first telecast was released in our country. For the residents of the Soviet Union, this became a landmark event and the start of the development of Russian television broadcasting. Our correspondent Luiza Yeghiazaryan drew a parallel between past and present television. Luiza Yeghiazaryan, correspondent: "Dear radio viewers! Oddly enough, but with this phrase the first television program in the USSR began. 80 years ago the prefix" tele "did not exist. Listeners were addressed as" radio viewers ", and the broadcast itself was called" farsightedness. " . In July 1938, the first television sets began to appear in public places. And by the fall, television began to work, however, one day a week. " And there were only two channels. The content was produced only in one organization - the USSR State Television and Radio Broadcasting, and the first broadcasts could only be seen by Muscovites. Today, when many cities are actively developing their own television, it's hard to imagine. Now almost everyone can boast of a local TV channel. Lydia Kiseleva, a resident of the Oktyabrsky settlement: "We made sure that we watch LRT. Every day we watch the news, what we have in the Moscow region, what in the villages, Malakhovka is shown, Tomilino is shown our village. If someone has something does not show that we have a specialist, he immediately, on the first call comes, connects. " Gradually, in the late 80s, the third and fourth buttons appeared. Compared to the number of modern TV channels, this is, of course, a drop in the ocean. Today viewers have access to hundreds of channels for all ages, tastes and interests. Ekaterina Shteting, a resident of Lyubertsy: "Children, of course, love to watch cartoons, I like to watch movies and news. Basically, I turn on cartoons when I do household chores, cook dinner, or clean up. I turn on the TV and for about 30 minutes I have time to go about my business and the children will not distract me for about a year. We use the Antenna communications operator and everything suits us, there are no interruptions, there are no failures and there was not even. " Luiza Yeghiazaryan, correspondent: "It would seem that television simply has nowhere to develop further. There are many channels, the image is clear, there are enough cartoons for everyone. But there is no limit to perfection. And this year television has stepped into a new era. People throughout Russia have switched to digital." Galina Grishina's TV works almost round the clock. The pensioner did not feel any inconvenience due to the transition to a new television format. Galina Grishina, a resident of Lyubertsy: “I was afraid that I would have to buy a new TV, but everything worked out, I have an excellent image and all my 44 channels work great. The image was good, clear, crisp, and now it is the same.
