Watching television is an interesting and fun activity. The first television broadcast in Australia was in 1956. Back then, the pictures on a TV were black and white only. Television has changed a lot since then.
There are several channels and they show different TV programmes. In Western Australia, the main channels are ABC, Seven, Nine, Ten, and SBS. TV guides tell us what programmes are showing on which channel, and at what time on a day.
Many programmes on television are episodes. They are part of a series. These episodes usually last for either 30 minutes or a full hour. At the weekend there are interesting films. You can watch them instead of going to the cinema.
