The fact that television has appeared as mass media has become an important turning point for improving the opportunities for leisure for the general public of the UK. UK I think that this turning point is not the first broadcast in 1936 but ITV launched in 1956. I think television is just the most important element, and there are elements that will influence improving the leisure opportunities of other common people.
"The emergence of TV as a mass media is an important turning point to improve the leisure opportunities of regular British people." To what extent do you agree with this statement? At the beginning of the 20th century, the lives of "ordinary people" were not suitable for the leisure world. In urbanized labor economies and industrially-oriented economies, low-level people work longer hours with lower wages. There is little free time and disposable income in this lifestyle. Both are important requirements for leisure opportunities.
The emergence of television as mass media is an important turning point for improving leisure opportunities for the general public of the UK. Ois Bedaria expressed the emergence of television as "absolute revolution". Today's TV is very different from the first normal transmission in the 1950's. Today, there are 5 major TV channels to choose from, you can choose over 100 cable channels and satellite channels.
When TV was first launched on a large scale in 1936, only a small percentage of the British public had a television license. Therefore, the first appearance of the mass media is not a turning point as "ordinary people" can not get it. Because of the situation in the UK before the Second World War, it was difficult for TV to prosper before the 1950s. The television of the earliest form was actually released for trial operation in the latter half of the 1920s, but the recession for 10 years guaranteed the impossible release environment.
