It's time to celebrate World Television Day on November 21! This special day was created in 1996 by the United Nations to recognize the power of television as a tool for entertainment, education and information. It's an opportunity to appreciate how far television has come since its invention over 100 years ago and reflect on its impact throughout history. We can also use this day to look ahead at where TV is going in the future.
