KTV
Karaoke is a Japanese coined word. Kara means empty
in English, and oke is a kind of abbreviation of orchestra.
The word karaoke itself means the songs without vocals for the sake of
the singing at the place where band cannot be prepared (such as small
halls, bars, and so on). Today, the word mainly refers to singing
with karaoke music, which is very popular in Japan as form of
recreation.
Genesis At first (I don't know but it could be in '70s...) karaoke
music was prepared with cassette tapes or multi-track tapes and "a
lyrics booklet". In those days people were singning songs by referring
the booklet.

Disco is a genre of music that originated in discothèques.
Generally the term refers to a specific style of music that has
influences from funk, soul music, and salsa and the Latin or Hispanic
musics which influenced salsa.
Elements of disco music appear on records from the early 1970s such as
the 1971 theme from the film Shaft by Isaac Hayes (Jones and Kantonen,
1999). In general it can be said that first disco songs were released in
1973, however many consider Manu Dibango's 1972 Soul Makossa the first
disco record (Jones and Kantonen, 1999). Initially, most disco songs
catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general
audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving
opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in
discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic
base-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute). Most 70's Disco genre
songs had a distinctive four/four bass beat.

Cable television or Community Antenna Television (CATV)
(often shortened to cable) is a system of providing television,
FM radio programming and other services to consumers via radio frequency
signals transmitted directly to people’s televisions through fixed
optical fibers or coaxial cables as opposed to the over-the-air method
used in traditional television broadcasting (via radio waves) in which a
television antenna is required.
It is most commonplace in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia
and East Asia, though it is present in many other countries, mainly in
South America and the Middle East. In Africa, cable TV has had little
success, as it is not cost-effective to lay cables in sparsely populated
areas, and although so-called "wireless cable" or microwave-based
systems are used, "direct-to-home" satellite television is far more
popular, especially in South Africa.
