A space is just a space. PHP isn't special in this regard.

How did you get that space between Television and viewers? :-)

By the way, you need to at least use htmlentities() whenever you output
variables like that. As it is, your code demonstrates a cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Hope that helps.
