"So the live streaming system can store recordings?" Zhang Qiu was very surprised to hear this. "That's great! It would be even better if this kind of live streaming system could be widely adopted for Quidditch matches. That way, we can find ways to let people who didn't go to the game live also have the opportunity to see the team's wonderful performance."

Among the girls, Ciri and Cho were the most interested in Quidditch.

However, the difference is that Cerira only likes to play by herself, while Cho Zhang also follows various Quidditch tournaments.

Upon hearing this, Levin told her, "…Bagman is actually working hard to promote what you're talking about. This Triwizard Tournament is actually a practice and advertisement for the live streaming system. If we perform well in the Triwizard Tournament, it will be easier to introduce the Quidditch league from the UK and even the world in the future."

“But a live streaming system alone can’t make it so that everyone can see Quidditch replays,” Hermione suddenly said. “However, Muggles have been able to do this for a long time because every one of us has a player called a ‘television’ that can receive all kinds of recordings from television stations.”

“Ah, television,” Hermione’s words immediately piqued Cho Chang’s interest. “I’ve watched it a few times at Levin’s place before, but it was always Muggle ‘movies.’ I didn’t know you could watch Quidditch recordings.”

“Muggles don’t play Quidditch,” Hermione explained with a bit of a headache. “However, Muggles have their own favorite sports, like football, and of course we can watch sports videos on TV.”

Zhang Qiu nodded, seemingly understanding, "Oh, I see."

Then she looked at Levin: "Why can't we wizards make a television too?"

“That’s a good question.” Levin also became interested in the topic. “To achieve the same effect as Muggles, we would not only need to modify a television, but also have a television station to broadcast programs, as well as a series of departments to produce television programs—but none of that matters. If it’s just about modifying Muggle equipment, I can easily manufacture all of these. I think, why don’t we build a wizard television station?”

"Oh, you have another new idea?" Jaina immediately looked at Levin, and everyone else also focused their attention on him.

As the core of the entire genius club, the person who brought everyone together was Xian.

They all admitted that Levin was indeed a wizarding genius.

His predictions, new ideas, and inventions, which he occasionally throws out, have all proven to be highly effective.

Despite the fact that Jaina is at the core of the political forces, everyone's overall strategic planning and goals are all carried out according to Levin's plan.

Therefore, when people heard that he wanted to start a television station, everyone became interested.

Chapter 386 Television Stations and Kennedy

To everyone's surprise, Levin did not bring up the television station directly, but instead started talking about the radio station.

"Have you all heard of WWN?" he asked.

WWN is an abbreviation for Wizarding Wireless Network, which is a very popular comprehensive radio station in the wizarding world... or rather, almost the only relatively formal wizarding radio station in the entire Dark Kingdom.

Speaking of this, Muggle-born wizards like Hermione, or otherworldly beings like Ciri and Jaina, don't seem to feel anything special.

Young wizards from wizarding families, such as Cho Chang and Tonks, were particularly impressed by this.

“I’ve heard of it! I’ve heard of it!” Tonks said excitedly. “I’ve loved listening to WWN’s shows since I was a kid, especially Granda Chitock’s ‘Magic Time,’ where the quirky sisters appear.”

Zhang Qiu also talked about WWN, "Actually, my mother also likes 'Magic Time' because they play songs by Setina Warbeck, who is my mother's favorite singer."

Luna also mentioned something: "My dad loves listening to 'The Sprout and Root Show,' and recently he learned how to peel Gordigan from that show."

After hearing their impressions of the wizard radio station, Levin nodded:

"Although the wizarding world does not have a television station, it has already established a radio station, modeled after Muggles. The influence of television stations on the wizarding world can be fully understood by looking at the example of radio stations."

Levin began to systematically introduce radio, “...In fact, compared with traditional print media, radio has a series of advantages. For example, radio transmits information through sound, which has a stronger immediacy and appeal. Even better, reading newspapers requires a lot of time and energy, but radio is not so troublesome. People can get information anytime and anywhere through radio in their busy lives.”

As he spoke, he gave an example: "People can't read the newspaper while working, but a housewife can certainly listen to the radio while cooking."

“My mother often does this,” Zhang Qiu said, deeply empathizing with the sentiment.

Levin nodded: "Therefore, we can see that among the younger generation of wizards, the influence of wizard radio is growing, reaching a point where it can rival traditional print media. The former is only a new thing from a dozen years ago, while the latter is deeply rooted in wizarding society and has a history of over a hundred years."

Hermione immediately thought of Muggle history, "This is practically a replay of Muggle history."

"After all, whether they are Muggles or wizards, their needs for information and entertainment are the same," Levin commented.

Then, he mentioned the television station:

"In fact, television can be seen as an upgraded version of radio. Compared to radio, which only has sound, television is an organic combination of images, sound, and text, presenting viewers with a more realistic and vivid world. This makes it far more attractive to viewers than radio, let alone print media."

He paused, his tone becoming serious:

"Most importantly, television stations have a stronger ability to evoke emotions, and their propaganda effect far exceeds that of traditional media, which is exactly the kind of propaganda we need."

"Don't we already have 'Singing a Quixote'?"

Onyxia reminded them, "The groundwork and reports about Sage and Howler have been completed. Now everyone knows that The Quibbler has created two more bizarre fantasy species. If you just submit the relevant research paper to Fantastic Beasts Almanac, the contrast between fantasy and reality will be enough to push The Quibbler's influence to a new level."

"You guys are making such a fast pace? That's great, I'll remember that."

Levin was very happy to hear this.

However, he still stated, "Having only one 'Dissenting Voice' is not enough. This is just the first step in influencing public opinion and a way to cultivate our own media professionals. We need to have stronger control over public opinion. Considering the existing influence of traditional print media, we can only overtake them by using television."

After saying that, Levin thought for a moment and then gave another example:

"You may not have heard of the first live broadcast of a US presidential election by Muggles, which is a prime example of the power of television media. In that television program, the two US presidential candidates had a debate that greatly influenced the election results."

"Oh, I'd like to hear more?" Jaina seemed intrigued by the mention of it.

After all, she also aspires to be Minister of Magic, which makes her a perfect candidate for president.

Levin then recounted that period of history: "The two candidates in the United States at the time were Nixon of the Republican Party and Kennedy of the Democratic Party. In that televised debate, the veteran Nixon lost to Kennedy due to his image, and ultimately lost the election as well."

"Losing the election because of a televised debate?" Onyxia said incredulously. "That's too much."

“That’s certainly an exaggeration,” Levin nodded, “but it must be acknowledged that poor performance on television was also a significant reason for Nixon’s loss. In fact, Nixon had the advantage in terms of policy and experience, but his nervousness and poor image during the televised debates created a negative impression on voters. Kennedy, on the other hand, won over voters with his confident and composed demeanor.”

As he spoke, Levin looked at Jaina and sized her up with an admiring gaze.

Why...why are you looking at me like that?

Jaina blushed when Levin stared at her with such an ambiguous gaze.

She noticed that the boy had become increasingly handsome recently.

Levin praised earnestly, "I'm looking at my sister Jaina, she's so beautiful."

“No way… I’m over thirty, I can’t compare to young girls.” Jaina cupped her face and said modestly.

"No, Jaina is very pretty."

"That's right, don't underestimate yourself."

"Gianna is the most beautiful in my eyes."

……

As soon as she said this, everyone echoed Levin's sentiments and praised her.

In fact, thanks to magic, Jaina's appearance has remained remarkably youthful, making her look the same age as Tonks.

In this respect, Azeroth is still more advanced than the Harry Potter world—look at Aegwynn, who is hundreds of years old but still looks like a young woman, while Dumbledore, who is only a little over a hundred, already has a wrinkled old face.

However, for the sake of her work, Jaina used magic to maintain her youth while also wearing makeup that made her appear more mature, only revealing her true face to Levin and the others.

Therefore, everyone's praise is not flattery.

But at this crucial moment, Onyxia stood up and sang a different tune:

"Weren't we talking about the TV station? Why are we suddenly talking about Jaina's face?"

She looked at Levin suspiciously.

"What trick are you plotting now?"

“It’s nothing,” Levin shrugged. “I just think that once we get television widespread among wizards, Jaina’s face will be the best advertisement.”

As he spoke, he even leaned forward and touched Jaina's face, looking like a scoundrel: "Look at this fair and tender little face, isn't it more attractive than Fudge's ugly old face? If I were an ordinary wizard, I would choose Jaina just to see a pretty face a few more times."

"Hate!"

Jaina gave a coquettish laugh and slapped Levin's hand away.

This comical scene immediately drew laughter.

But after the laughter subsided, everyone had to admit that Levin was right.

Of course, the real Fudge wasn't ugly.

Or rather, none of those who could become Minister of Magic under an election system were truly ugly.

But if Fudge really stood next to Jaina, he would really look like a goblin in comparison.

Everyone present was intelligent and had drunk the elixir of wisdom, so they immediately understood Levin's meaning.

In the example of Muggle presidential elections, Kennedy was clearly far inferior to Nixon in terms of actual ability and qualifications.

His advantages lie in his youth and excellent image.

His clever choice to promote himself on television amplified his advantage in this area, allowing him to defeat Nixon in one fell swoop.

This is definitely something worth learning from.

In terms of ability, Jaina is in no way inferior to Fudge.

The only difference between them is their seniority and reputation.

Fudge was, after all, a seasoned politician who had spent many years in the Ministry of Magic; his connections and reputation were far beyond what the young Jaina could match.

But through television, they can completely bypass these existing advantages of Fudge.

“If you put it that way, establishing a television station is indeed a good idea.” After grasping the essence of a television station, Onyxia immediately changed her previous opinion and fully agreed with Levin.

"Oh dear, I watch TV at home every day, how come I didn't think of that?" Hermione slapped her thigh, feeling ashamed and realizing she hadn't been a proper Muggle.

"It seems that establishing a wizard television station can be our next goal."

Jaina also made a decision: "Although television is a new thing and is easily rejected by the generally conservative wizards, since the wizarding world can accept radio, it can naturally accept television as well... However, we still need an opportunity to persuade Fudge."

“Once the Dark Lord is resurrected, the opportunity will be easy to find.” Levin smiled slightly. “After all, we control most of the Auror power. Once the Death Eaters run rampant, there will be plenty of opportunities to make Fudge ask us for help. Before that, I’ll do some preliminary research.”

So right there at the dinner table, they all pitched in and came up with a plan to establish a television station.

"But there's just one thing to be careful about," Levin suddenly added, "Gianna, please don't ride in the convertible."

Jaina: "???"
