Well we all know the TV today, and there are a few hundred channels that we all gave access to today.

We dive into the invention, the adoption by the population, the programming explosion, and some popular shows that became staples of the 1950s. 

 

Shows like I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, The Honeymooners and more entertained the masses at the end of their work days. 

The televsion became a must have in every home. 

With the popularity of the programming came the inevitable insurgence of advertisers. It was a whole new media to use to get in front of the consumers.

As you listen to this podcast, think how similar a time we live in today with the advent of social media, digital ads, and inflencer marketing!

 

There is always more to learn, talk to you soon!
