Streaming Television
Streaming television is the digital distribution of television content, such as TV shows, as streaming media delivered over the Internet. Streaming television stands in contrast to dedicated terrestrial television delivered by over-the-air aerial systems, cable television, and/or satellite television systems. History Up until the 1990s, it was not thought possible that a television programme could be squeezed into the limited telecommunication bandwidth of a copper telephone cable to provide a streaming service of acceptable quality, as the required bandwidth of a digital television signal was around 200Mbit/s, which was 2,000 times greater than the bandwidth of a speech signal over a copper telephone wire. Streaming services were only made possible as a result of two major technological developments: MPEG ( motion-compensated DCT) video compression and asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) data transmission.

World Championship Wrestling (TV Series)
''WCW Saturday Night'' is an American weekly Saturday night television show on TBS that was produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Launched in 1971 initially by Georgia Championship Wrestling, the program existed through various incarnations under different names before becoming ''WCW Saturday Night'' in 1992.

The show's place in the company was further devalued by the advent of '' WCW Thunder'' in 1998, airing on TBS and providing the secondary wrestling and storyline development that ''WCW Saturday Night'' had produced in the wake of ''Nitro'' burgeoning three-hour-long format. Once the cornerstone of the WCW wrestling empire, ''WCW Saturday Night'' ended its run ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
