World Television Day marked today

13:25, 21.11.2022

World Television Day is observed annually on 21 November, recognizing the value and impact of television in our lives.

On this day, broadcasters all over the world have been invited to screen a 30 second video commissioned by the organizations in recognition of the crucial role TV plays in informing, educating, and entertaining people.

The United Nations General Assembly declared November 21 to be World Television Day (through resolution 51/205 of December 17, 1996) in recognition of the growing influence television has on decision-making by drawing attention to conflicts and threats to peace and security as well as its potential role in sharpening the focus on other important issues, including economic and social problems.

This year’s theme is to highlight how television draws the public’s attention to quality entertainment, social issues, news, and other events. It celebrates a global reality: television has more possibilities than any other medium. TV is now available at all times, at home and on the go, across all screens – large or small – live or streamed.
