    Radio In The 1940's

    Since the beginning of radio’s “golden age” in the 1940’s, this form of mass media has experienced many changes from different programming, to advertising, to broadcast laws, etc. Beginning when the first radio station, KDKA, signed on in 1920 , it was quickly being picked up as a new emerging form of mass media. By the mid-20’s radios themselves were better and easier to use, and by 1930, were being purchased by the millions. Radio not only survived but thrived through the great depression. This would only be the beginning of its journey of change. Radio, like many other mass media, has continued to evolve to meet the constantly changing wants and needs of society.…

    I start with the second question and consider whether broadcasting policy should be directed to “give the public what it wants”? In the UK, the tone of the debate about public service broadcasting was set in the earlier radio era. John Reith, the first Director General of the BBC, wrote,3 “the preservation of a high moral tone is obviously of paramount importance.” And “[t]here is no harm in trivial things; in themselves they may even be unquestionably beneficial, for they may assist the more serious work by providing the measure of salt which seasons.” Coase (1950, page 177) remarked that…

    Bsb Versus Sky Tv

    British television viewing levels had stagnated in the 1980s due to already high levels of television viewership (3.5 hours per day) and the rapid penetration of the VCR. This caused broadcast companies like BBC and ITV to look for new ways to spurn growth. The British government tried to allocate three of the five high powered digital satellite broadcast (DBS) channels first to the BBC and then to a joint venture between BBC and ITV. Both attempts failed due to high startup costs in building and launching dedicated satellites. The bidding for these channels was then moved to the private sector in April 1986. Additionally, the use of the untried D-MAC transmission standard that was viewed as a move towards HDTV was made mandatory.…

    The radio breakthrough in the 1930’s was huge. It not only offered news updates, but it also provided entertainment to all ages. Some news updates and broadcasts were often referred to as “fireside chats”. The radio benefitted everyone, everywhere, but eventually went out of style as other trends came into existence. However, even as the interest in radio lessened, it played a key role in the evolution of things like the television. In addition to the Golden Age of Broadcasting, radios have changed a great deal since the 1930’s and 40’s. Without radio and broadcasting, life would be a little different from the way it is now.…

    To help answer this question, it would be beneficial to begin by summarising the history of Broadcasting from the 1920’s up to the 1950’s.

    Radio One Case Study

    • 5 Pages

    After the Telecommunication act in 1996 significant consolidation occurred in the Radio Industry, thereafter Radio companies were able to obtain cost savings by acquiring multiple stations in one area and reaching economies of scale. The nation’s two biggest radio company - AMFM and Clear Channel – was just about to merge and in order to do so the FCC required them to divest 100 radio stations. This was an unprecedented growth opportunity for Radio One as 12 of these stations fitted perfectly their corporate strategy which was to „provide urban-oriented music, entertainment, and information to primarily African-Americans in as many major markets as possible”. Since under normal market conditions radio stations in the top 50 markets rarely became available for purchase, this was a perfect opportunity for Radio One to expand and implement further cost-savings through economies of scale, programming syndication, reduction of duplicate staffing and increasing advertizing revenues by becoming able to offer wider audiences and „package deals” for advertisers. This was also an opportunity to expand to new markets. Radio One’s bidding position was backed up by Chairman William Kennard’s advocacy at the FCC, which encouraged the sale of at least some stations to minorities, and since only Radio One had the experience and the capital among the potential buyers it had a strong position.…
