Sabet encouraged viewers to participate actively in improving the station by providing constructive criticism and suggestions. He invited both written and verbal feedback regarding programming quality and content.
Furthermore, he announced plans to establish prizes for viewers who submitted valuable recommendations that contributed to improving television programming. This approach demonstrated an early understanding of audience engagement and public participation in broadcasting.
His remarks illustrated the experimental nature of early television and the willingness of its founders to adapt according to public response.
Regular Television Broadcasting Begins
Although the inaugural ceremony took place on October 1, regular television broadcasting officially began the following day.
Initially, broadcasts were scheduled from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., providing approximately four hours of daily programming. Because television ownership remained limited, evening broadcasts allowed families to gather together after work and school to watch programs.
The daily schedule was carefully organized to appeal to different segments of society.
Programming for children and young audiences usually occupied the early portion of the evening. These broadcasts included educational materials, storytelling, and entertainment specifically designed for younger viewers.
Sports programs followed, presenting domestic and international athletic events, interviews, and sports news.
