While the country was experiencing severe shortages and rationing during the 1980s, television was restricted to a two-hour programme a day, largely devoted to coverage of Ceausescu's speeches or visits to places where he was met by organised crowds of cheering people.
Dok se zemlja osamdesetih godina suočavala sa velikim nestašicama i sledovanjima, televizijski program je bio ograničen na dva sata dnevno i uglavnom posvećen Čaušeskuovim govorima ili njegovim posetama mestima u kojima su ga dočekivale posebno organizovane grupe razdraganih građana.
