Read the text about the TV from A to H, put these letters in a correct order so

THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION
A
Early sets made in the years after Baird’s breakthrough cost as much as a small car
and not many were sold. Soon, though, his original system was improved and in
1936 Britain’s first regular TV programme went on air.
B
US television boomed in the late 1940s. Commercial stations began to open in
almost every city, and national networks made programmes which were seen from
coast to coast. One of the American networks - CBS - even developed a colour
service as early as 1951.
C
By the end of the decade, TV culture was rapidly becoming a fact of life on both sides
of the Atlantic. Even so, it was still a very young medium - lots of people didn’t have
sets - and many experts thought it wouldn’t last.
D
The idea of a machine able to broadcast both sound and vision goes back to 1875.
But it wasn’t until 1926 that a Scottish engineer turned the idea into a practical reality.
Now, his invention dominates the modern media. This is its story.
E
Here’s Looking At You was broadcast by the BBC from north London’s Alexandra
Palace studios twice a day for a weekly budget of one thousand pounds. But Great
Britain wasn’t the only country producing programmes.

F
That all changed in the 60s and 70s, though, as television started to satisfy the public
desire, not just for entertainment, but also for rapid, accurate information. The
significance of TV news quickly grew. After all, what other medium could show you
live Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon?
G
Other European nations, including Germany, were also involved in the early days of
television.
As, of course, was America ; it’s there that the real TV revolution began after World
War Two.
H
John Logie Baird produced the first television pictures just eight years after the 1st
World War. They were in black and white and were not very clear, but he proved that
the principle worked.
