Watching television is an exciting 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.

Several channels show different TV programs. In Western Australia, the main channels are ABC, Seven, Nine, Ten, and SBS. TV guides tell us what programs are showing on which channel and at what time of the day.

Many programs 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 exciting films. You can watch them instead of going to the cinema.
