An interactive television system includes a central exchange (10) and a plurality of consoles (14) variously located at residences of viewers of TV programming. Each console includes a code reader capable of reading program codes, which are broadcasted with the TV signals of programs as unique identifiers thereof. A viewer, upon seeing a TV program of interest, actuates a button, and the console (14) transmits to the central exchange (10) a uniquely identifying console code together with the program code currently being read by the code reader.
