ATV (Russia)
ATV (Author Television) is the oldest Russian private TV company. It was founded in the USSR on September 15, 1988 by Anatoly Malkin and Kira Proshutinskaya. It reached its height in popularity in Russia in the 1990s. The television company was founded on September 15, 1988 with the support of the cooperative of the architect Yuri Makarov (a story about him was previously filmed in the program " Peace and Youth", where Kira Proshutinskaya worked). The name ATV was coined by Anatoly Malkin. He deciphered the name as "alternative television", but Malkin's friend and colleague Vladimir Voroshilov suggested the "author's television" option, since in his opinion, the "alternative" decoding was inappropriate. For the first three years, ATV produced projects within the framework of the Main Edition of Programs for Youth, from which Malkin and Proshutinskaya came out. The first program of the TV company was the "Press Club" talk show, which aired in September 1989. The first document ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Satellite Television
Satellite television is a service that delivers television programming to viewers by relaying it from a communications satellite orbiting the Earth directly to the viewer's location. The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic antenna commonly referred to as a satellite dish and a low-noise block downconverter. A satellite receiver then decodes the desired television program for viewing on a television set. Receivers can be external set-top boxes, or a built-in television tuner. Satellite television provides a wide range of channels and services. It is usually the only television available in many remote geographic areas without terrestrial television or cable television service. Modern systems signals are relayed from a communications satellite on the X band (8–12 GHz) or Ku band (12–18 GHz) frequencies requiring only a small dish less than a meter in diameter. The first satellite TV systems were an obsolete type now known as television receive-only. Thes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Audiobook
An audiobook (or a talking book) is a recording of a book or other work being read out loud. A reading of the complete text is described as "unabridged", while readings of shorter versions are abridgements. Spoken audio has been available in schools and public libraries and to a lesser extent in music shops since the 1930s. Many spoken word albums were made prior to the age of cassettes, compact discs, and downloadable audio, often of poetry and plays rather than books. It was not until the 1980s that the medium began to attract book retailers, and then book retailers started displaying audiobooks on bookshelves rather than in separate displays. Etymology The term "talking book" came into being in the 1930s with government programs designed for blind readers, while the term "audiobook" came into use during the 1970s when audiocassettes began to replace phonograph records. In 1994, the Audio Publishers Association established the term "audiobook" as the industry standard. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
