Classic TV – Conclusion
The 1990s is considered as the age of alternative media. Up until this point, television was the main mass medium with three major networks – ABC, CBS and NBC – offering very limited selections of programs. But by the 1990s, the continuing expansion of cable and satellite TV meant more channels and more choices for programming. By the end of the decade, about 65 million households had a cable subscription service. In addition, several new broadcast networks had also come into play. TV used to be a shared experience. In many ways, it brought together many people no matter the age, status, or race. But with cable and satellite services becoming more accessible, television began to fragment. Unlike before where programs were made to attract a wider audience, television in the 1990s was the opposite. Programs tended to attract a smaller audience, or audience of a definite age group, income or preferences in order to attract certain advertisers.
