Television changed our lives, but how does the picture get to our screen?

Americans average more than 33 hours a week in front of a television or other streaming devices. That’s almost as much time as we spend sleeping, working or going to school. But exactly how does that picture get to your screen? On this month’s Science Trek, host Joan Cartan-Hansen and her guests, Rich Van Genderen & Craig Koster will answer students’ questions about the science behind television.
