[edit] Cultural/social impact?

I'm surprised there isn't a dedicated section on the tremendous impact television has had on society. Add one maybe? 173.162.46.90 (talk) 21:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Go for it! Good things - care about events in distant countries, enjoy sports in real time. Bad things - mass culture, propagandizing on behalf of media conglomerates, advertising and consumer society. It's enough for a book by itself. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] "Funding"

[edit] Edit request from Kathcoram, 2 September 2011

U.S. advertising rates are determined primarily by Nielsen ratings.

"Determined" should be removed and replaced by "influenced".

Kathcoram (talk) 00:46, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd disagree. The Neilsens govern how networks judge the number of viewers, which determines their ad rates. (Not the only factor, but a major one.) It's a clear relationship, & significant enough to say "determined". TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 00:52, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
N Not done, unless consensus favors the change. Also, "influenced primarily" is awkward. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 18:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Lead sentence

Should the lead begin with "The T(t)elevision (TV).......", or have it just the way it is? Tinton5 (talk) 04:05, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Leave it the way it is. I doubt that will ever be the last thing keeping this article from "featured" status. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:07, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
