Capitalization

Hi! Do I need to capitalize "tv" for the below sentence? Thanks, Fulvio

1. I have been watching that TV show since 1988.

The traditionally correct form is "TV". For me, "tv" seems like a mistake, but opinions may vary.

Hello!

The correct way to write "TV" is pretty much always capitalized, as it is an acronym (short for television) and acronyms are almost always capitalized.

There are times where it probably isn't necessary, but if in doubt, capitalize acronyms.

I hope this helps!

It's spelled "TV", always has been. It stands beside "AM" and "FM" for radio.
