TELEVISION IN UZBEKISTAN The birth place of television is Tashkent. The famous Russian scientist B.L. Rosing was the founder of the electronic television. In 1911,he constructed a cathode-ray tube which was an electronic television. However, Rosing didn’t invent an electronic transmitting device. That was the creation of two other Tashkenters - B.P.Grabovsky and I.F.Belyansky - both inventors.In 1928 the young inventors demonstrated their Telegot prototype of present-day electronic television. Nowadays you may see this TV in the Tashkent museum. This invention is recognized by scientific organizations of the world and a certificate was given and there it is written: «Knowing the history of the development of electronics we testify, that the service of B.I. Grabovsky and I.R.Belyansky in the development of electronic television is incontestable». On the 26th of June, 1968, the Uzbek people marked the 40th anniversary of TV’s invention .The television of Uzbekistan, although very much younger than radio broadcasting, developed at such a rapid rate that soon it embraced nearly 90% of the population; showing its programs on a number of channels.
