The Television is free from the start of the game. It is pretty simple on how to turn it on. All you do is face the Television and press A.

The Television Channels

 * The Weather Channel: The way you get to this channel is by pressing up on your control pad. It tells the weather and a little comment afterwards. Note: These are not too creative and don't expect a different comment for the same weather.
 * The News: Not everyone might consider it the news channel. Press the right part of the control pad to get to the channel. It tells the festivals for the season. When it gets close to a festival it says something about it. When a festival is over it will say the remaining festivals for the season.
 * Farmer Fran: Press the down part of the control pad. This channel is to help beginners on how to farm. It starts from easy to hard things. One tip that this channel gives you is how to gain stamina. It takes about 2 or 3 years to get the program to restart and have the same things said so make sure that you tune in daily ;).
 * The entertainment channel: This channel is 8 programs in 1 channel. You press the left part of the control pad to get to the channel. The program changes depending on the day of the week. They are in a set order. The channels are TV shopping

Fishing hour: This is to tell you which fish can you catch in the season you're in and some other fishing tips. Dueling chefs: 2 Chefs go and compete against each other.

Television Shopping
TV shopping sells you items for your house. Some of the items you will need to have if you're going to get married (for example, the big bed). You don't have a phone in your house so you have to go to the inn to make a phone call. Each phone call you make there costs 10 g. Once you place your order, Zack will come to your house in 2 days to deliver the item you ordered. Here is a list of items that you can get, the requirements for it to appear on TV shopping, and how much they cost:
