Hrrrmmm...I'm afraid this is a hopelessly US-centric model of history. In many European countries the breake-through of TV came in late 50s (not in the late 40s-early 50s as in the US) or early 60s - my own country (Sweden) is an example: the TV breake-through was directly connected to something as un-american as the Football World Championship 1958 in Stockholm, Sweden. That's the specific event that got ordinary people to go and buy this new piece of furniture called a TV set and to sign up for a TV license.

And licenses takes us to the other basic point: The basic model for broadcasting in Sweden and many other countries in western Europe didn't follow the US model of commercial advertisement financed broadcasting, but the model launched by British BBC - a public service state monopoly would become the basic model for many, many years.

I'm sorry but the site where I found these photos does not indicate the name of the photographed

The actress and singer Annette Funicello in 1950 was only eight years old. It is not Annette that appears on the photo
