I or the National Aeronautics , SUMMARY This memorandum describes the results of astudy conducted on electronic educational information dissemination andbroadcast services in the United States. Included are detailed discussions of thehistorical development and current infrastructure, both in termsof organization and physical plant, of the following se-vices: educational radio broadcasting, educational television broadcasting,Instructional Television Fixed Services (ITFS), Information Retrieval(Dial Access) Television (IRTV), Closed-Circuit Television, ResponsiveTelevision and Cable Television. All of the information disseminationand broadcast services described herein can currently be characterized asproviding one-way transfer of information on a point-to-multipoint basiswith the population of the receiving terminals being independent of thetransmitter or origination point within the coverage area. In the United States, a variety ofelectronic educational information dissemination and broadcast services havedeveloped, reflecting the local character of U.5.. education and a lack of resourcesand organization vis-a-vis commercial broadcasting. A series of maps have been plotted which indicate that these services, whichinclude both intra- and inter- state television networks, are notdistributed uniformly over theentire Mountain States and to U. S. Certain areas--such as Alaska, the Rocky some extent Appalachia--generallycharacterized as remote or rural areas, tend to have a dearth of services. Public television and radio, representing onesegment of electronic educational information,dissemination and broadcastservices, have in recent years developed anationalorganizational and networking base as well as goals for nationwide coverage. The creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the PublicBroadcasting Service and National Public Radio have made it possible to developthis capability. These organizations have set forth their requirements in responseto the recent filing of proposals with the Federal CommunicationsCommission by eight organizations for owning and operating U. S. domesticsatellite systems. After reviewing these requirements, and afterconsidering key issues such as regional versus national versusspecial programming, we have set forth potential long-haul telecommunicationsrequirements for public television and radio distribution. An Appendix to this memorandum summarizes the key features of the eight U. S.domestic satellite proposals and comments on the suitability ofthese proposals for meeting tne requirements of public broadcasting. 3 CONTENTS Page No. 1 1. Introduction 2.

Introducing and Implementing a New Media Knowledge Management Plan for Public Radio Program Directors Abstract This purpose of this thesis is to introduce and make recommendations for implementing a new media knowledge management plan for Public Radio Program Directors (PRPD) a national organization that includes program directors at public radio stations across the country. I discuss knowledge management and relate it to my own experiences as a program director responsible for guiding the media organization I work for in a rapidly changing new media environment. I review the current new media landscape and examine the challenges program directors like I are facing if we are to better manage our organizations and make the best decisions for the future.

    4 International Radio Regulations 5.53 Administrations authorizing the use of frequencies below 9 kHz shall ensure that no harmful interference is caused thereby to the services to which the bands above 9 kHz are allocated. 5.54 Administrations conducting scientific research using frequencies below 9 kHz are urged to advise other administrations that may be concerned in order that such research may be afforded all practicable protection from harmful interference. 5.55 Additional allocation: in Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the band 14-17 kHz is also allocated to the radionavigation service on a primary basis. (WRC-07) 5.56 The stations of services to which the bands 14-19.95 kHz and 20.05-70 kHz and in Region 1 also the bands 72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz are allocated may transmit standard frequency and time signals. Such stations shall be afforded protection from harmful interference. In Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Russian Federation, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Slovakia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, the frequencies 25 kHz and 50 kHz will be used for this purpose under the same conditions. (WRC-07) 5.57 The use of the bands 14-19.95 kHz, 20.05-70 kHz and 70-90 kHz (72-84 kHz and 86-90 kHz in Region 1) by the maritime mobile service is limited to coast radiotelegraph stations (A1A and F1B only). Exceptionally, the use of class J2B or J7B emissions is authorized subject to the necessary bandwidth not exceeding that normally used for class A1A or F1B emissions in the band concerned.
