Taiwan's television has developed over the past 50 years, including changes from monochrome to color, analogue to digital, a single channel to multiple channels, local to global, observation to participation, indoor to outdoor, and ground to cloud. Communication technologies have transformed contemporary television, which we call "new TV." However, what is "new TV?" What is the meaning of "new?" This study examines the interaction between television and society from the perspective of technology to elucidate how social forces and technology have worked together to transform TV.
