		+	==Television Stations / Channels==
		+
		+	The Kuwaiti government's '''Ministry of Information''' launched the country's television service in 1961.
		+
		+	The station's transmitters were able to broadcast across the Gulf to [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Bahrain]] and the [[United Arab Emirates]], but due to the distance, it was only on the warm summer months that reception in those countries was at its clearest. (The transmission of signals northwards from those countries to Kuwait was severely affected by temperature and other atmospheric conditions, meaning that Kuwaiti viewers could only on rarest of occasions view those broadcasts.)
		+
		+	Colour transmissions began in 1974 using the [[Wikipedia:PAL\|PAL]] colour broadcast system.
		+
		+	A second colour channel was launched in 1979. '''KTV One''' was an [[Arabic]] station, screening foreign programmes, mostly from the US, dubbed into [[Arabic]]; and '''KTV Two''' was generally an English language channel, featuring mostly UK and US imports, some of which were dubbed into [[Arabic]].
		+
		+
		+	==Language/s==
		+
		+	The principal languages of Kuwait are [[Arabic]] and English. As with the [[United Arab Emirates]], half the population of the country are ex-patriots working in the oil industry.
