Tv reception?

Question

how long does a tv signal travel from a broadcasting station?

Answer 1

This depends on what your question is to you mean from the base station to your TV areal? - it that's the question it depends on your distance from the base station, but it's generally less than 1 second.

If you are referring to from the broadcaster to the base stations, it will very much depend on how the broadcaster is sending the signal, but its still not a "long" time.

Hope this helps?

Hi Tom,

Radio waves and light travel at the same speed - 186,000 miles a second. That means a radio wave travels around the earth about seven times in one second.
