There were early inventions that were capable of broadcasting in color even before the TV had become a household appliance, however none succeeded. RCA became the first company to make color TV sets widely available. The first color broadcast in North America took place in 1953. The color TV didn’t become the standard in most homes until the sixties however.

The advances in the technology behind television sets have continued to advance.

The current advancements are in the changing of television broadcasts from an analog to digital format. Additionally, broadcasting in high definition signal is now offered by most major networks, and every satellite and cable provider offers hi-def channels.

Television trivia is often concerning the most popular viewing events. There are many different genres of television, news, sports, reality, dramatic programming and sitcoms, and certain categories consistently attract more viewers than other. The hand down most viewed television broadcast of all time is the first appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. This broadcast, which took place in 1964 when the population of the country was only a fraction of what it is today, attracted over 73 million viewers. The next most watched event was Elvis Presley’s first appearance on that same show, which only attracted 60 million viewers.

After those broadcast there are many other shows which have ranked in the top most viewed broadcasts.
