Reference excerpt

Television in Albania was first introduced in 1960. RTSH dominated the Albanian broadcasting field up to the mid-90s, a period when privately owned radio and TV stations started to occupy the vast empty Albanian frequencies. From the 1960s until the 1980s, RTSH simulcasted Italian public broadcaster Rai programming however UHF receivers were banned from Albanian TV sets requiring locals to use artisan made receivers called kanaçe made of aluminum cans to capture foreign UHF broadcasters. Listening to foreign media privately was outlawed and anyone caught risked harsh penalties such as imprisonment. RTSH owns and operates a vast number of transmitter sites throughout the country such as the Fushe Dajt and Dajt 1613m stations at Mount Dajt in the periphery of Tirana. As such, a number of Western radio and TV broadcasters leased the sites to broadcast their own feeds free-to-air during the 1990s until early 2000s, when a law was passed to protect the Albanian television industry and put these stations in pay TV platforms. During this period, a law was also passed requiring all stations to translate foreign programming by providing subtitles in Albanian language which until then used to air mostly in Italian and later English languages without translation. Simulcasting of foreign outlets was also common such as CNN International and Italian regional and music channels mainly by Italian owned stations. After several years of being stalled, deadlines for transition to DTV broadcasting are being continuously announced until all subscribers are equipped with digital antennas. Albania has 3 national commercial television stations, 56 local stations, 83 local cable stations and two commercial multiplexes. Of all the existing national television stations, the public broadcaster Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH) has the greatest reach: its signal covers 80.5% of the territory, followed by Top Channel with 79%, and TV Klan with 78%. However, there are also digital multiplexes but they are unaccounted for in the territorial reach figures. It could be said that the other main TV stations, based in Tirana, whose signal covers a significant part of the territory include: Ora News, Ora TV, News 24, Top News, Panorama TV, Report TV, RTV Scan, BBF TV, Vizion Plus. Apart from the latter stations, most others are round-the-clock news channels. Euronews and CNN International have opened their own franchises in Albania. Digital broadcasting is available mainly in Tirana and Durrës, though it is gradually being introduced to the western lowland and further inland.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Television in Albania

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Television in Albania claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Television in Albania before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Television in Albania ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Television in Albania

In research: Television in Albania appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Television in Albania in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Television in Albania is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Lists of mass media in Albania, Television by country, Television in Albania, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Television in Albania outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
