the television industry
A commonly used name to describe the manufacturing of televisions was the "television industry". This was because the manufacturing or assembling of a television was not only the actual TV sets, but also the television programs and shows. This concerned major electronics manufacturing companies such as Gold Star and Phillips as well as Hollywood producers. Although most companies' previous goods were limited to radios, they quickly made the switch and began to mass produce television sets, improving the economy and creating hundreds of new jobs.
After World War II, the boost in the US economy increased the amount of television manufacturing companies; in turn, the percentage of households with at least one television set increased tremendously from 20% to 90%. Television producers and broadcasters like Warner Brothers and National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) were beginning to have regular programs. Cartoons, sports shows, news casts and soap operas were becoming all too familiar throughout America. Ultimately, the advancements made in the production of televisions greatly benefited the American economy through the 1950's, and united people in the biggest cities with those in the smallest towns throughout the nation.
