Before satellite television, there were limited options for those who enjoyed watching television. However, in 1962, the first satellite television signal was received in Europe to the Telstar satellite over North America. From then on, satellites were created for communications and television purposes in the Soviet Union and Canada, as well as other areas of the world. By 1972, the first domestic North America satellite, Anik 1, was launched for television purposes.
