In fact, television and radio workers work tirelessly for days, they are in constant tension so as not to make a mistake on the air and reshoot a failed frame hundreds of times. To support and pay tribute to this area, the Day of Radio, Television and Communications was introduced in Russia.
Notable date
May 7 is radio and television day. This date was not chosen by chance. It was on May 7, 1895 that the famous physicist Alexander Popov demonstrated to the members of the physical and chemical society the process of wireless registration of electromagnetic oscillations at a distance by exposure to a lightning discharge onthe simplest receiver assembled by him. Before the Day of Television and Radio began to be celebrated annually, it was first celebrated in 1925 on the territory of the USSR.
