Crown Description:

Currently, Older Than Television's cut-offs are somewhat vague and inconsistent. Older Than Radio ends in the 1890s (the invention of radio technology) while Older Than Television ends in the 1940s (about when television became a mass medium for fiction, years after its invention).

Is this inconsistency a problem? Should the time period for Older Than Television change? Suggestions for new dates are collected here.
