Fiction:Republic of Halloway/Media and Technology

This page is about the Hallowanian Media and Technology, which has been present in Hallowanian society since 1938 AD (40 HE).

Television
One third of Halloway's culture is based on Television. Television has been around since 1938 AD (40 HE), when the Greater National Radio (GNR), the main radio station of Halloway, had its own Television transmitter, splitting this company in two, RH (Radio of Halloway) and TH (Television of Halloway). It was in black and white at first, and only broadcasted for 6 hours a day, from 13:00 to 19:00, however, TH became a full time channel in 1951 AD (53 HE), TH had color broadcasts in 1968 AD (70 HE), TH began HD Transmissions in 2002 AD (104 HE), and had its own 3D Channel in 2008 AD (110 HE). Overtime, new channels attempted to gain populatity along the years, with few getting success. There are currently 27 free channels in Halloway, with 400 more from Halloway and Deisna with TH Cable or the Zenith Box, both of these cable services having a rivalry.
