World TV Day

The Power of the Picture

World Television Day, established by the United Nations in 1996, honors the medium that reshaped culture, connection, and consciousness. What began as a flicker of cathode rays evolved into an engine of entertainment, education, and empathy.

Television has chronicled revolutions and romances, televised triumphs and tragedies, uniting billions through shared stories. Whether on vintage sets, flat screens, or holographic walls, its influence remains immense. Today, we recognize TV not as passive entertainment, but as a powerful storytelling platform that still defines how humanity sees itself — for better or worse.
