Analog television, a technology that dominated broadcasting for decades, transmits audio and video signals via VHF and UHF channels, similar to radio. This system, which was the standard in the US until the Federal Communications Commission mandated a full transition to digital by 2009, involved converting light into electrical signals and broadcasting them over the airwaves. While analog TV was prevalent even as late as 2009, with some users texting on iPhones while watching analog broadcasts, the industry has since moved to digital, offering improvements like high definition and more consistent feeds. The current evolution involves NextGen Television (ATSC 3.0), which integrates internet protocols for enhanced features, though concerns exist about accessibility and the potential loss of free services.
