Abstract
In present times the opposition between television and cinema is still a fracture line about which is centered a cultural debate. In this article the author shows that, far from being a prerogative of journalists and the public, this question has structured from the beginning discussions within television circles in the shape of an opposition between different production techniques based on different material bases, film and video: this argument has been at the origin of new technical systems which have tried in vain to reach a compromise reconciling the two opposing parties and has finally been objectified in the form of lasting associations between television types and productions means.
