| Summary: | The convenience of 24-hour cable TV
news, offering the latest br
eaking headlines at anytime of
the day or night, represents an enormous struct
ural for cable over network television. Cable has
become the television news medium of choice in
Malaysia. The network most cited as the No.1
for news remains CNN, preferred over the broad
cast networks and even its cable rivals. Cable
television system means any facility consisti
ng of a set of closed
transmission paths and
associated signal generation, reception, and contro
l equipment that is designed to provide cable
service which includes video programming and which
is provided to multiple subscribers within

Cable television system consider as one of the
cable service. The abbr
eviation CATV is often
used to mean "Cable TV" [2]. It originally
stood for Community Antenna
Television, from cable
television's origins in 1948: in areas where over-the-air reception was limited by mountainous
terrain, large "community antennas"
were constructed, and cable was
run from them to individual
homes [2]. It is most commonplace in North Ameri
ca, Europe, Australia and East Asia, though it
is present in many other countries, mainly in S
outh America and the Middle East [2]. Cable TV
has had little success in Africa, as it is not
although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-
based systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellit
e television is far more popular, especially in
South Africa. |
