But be satisfied only with a picture comparable to a class "A" motion picture-on every station in your area. It is unnecessary to compromise! HERE'S WHY: Television waves are like light beams - solid objects reflect and refract them, making it impractical to pick up all stations from an indoor aerial. That is why you get double images on some stations. In addition, indoor aerials have poor signal pickup making it difficult to get good pictures on all stations. FURTHERMORE: Your indoor antenna may have a high noise level which increases the amount of interference as you ad- vance the contrast control to bring up a weak picture. All of these technical difficulties are eliminated by a WARD out- door aerial installed by a competent radio serviceman. In every case, a Ward outdoor antenna will improve reception over an indoor aerial. Also, Ward aerials are so well de- signed, they are attractive on a house. It is unnecessary to compromise! WARD is the largest and oldest exclusive maker of television and auto radio aerials. Does the antenna on your automobile need repair? Replace it with WARDS'S 8- BALL - world's largest selling auto aerial.

Although one-way television signal distribution continues to be the primary application of cable television systems, the cable television network can be used for two-way data communications. Data communication places severe engineering demands on the performance of a cable television network. Therefore, to ensure that data communications capabilities are not precluded by poor engineering, local cable authorities and the cable industry must identify and overcome the technical barriers to the application of cable television networks to data communications. We identify the following as the primary technical requirements that remain to be addressed by the cable industry: - Methods for controlling the accumulation of insertion noise and ingress on upstreimr channels.

FCC, 467 F.2d 1397 (7th Cir. 1972) Television signals are electromagnetic waves which can be reflected or blocked, much like light waves.' In urban areas, transmis- sion towers normally are located to avoid the possibility of such interference. 2 They generally are placed on top of the tallest building in the area or on a hill, thereby extending the tower beyond the height of the area's tallest structure. The recent revival of vertical construc- tion in major cities3 has caused interference with pre-existing tower transmission facilities, 4 and this trend threatens to cause significant In urban areas tall buildings cause two types of broadcast interference problems---"shadowing" and "ghosting." "Shadowing" is the interference caused by a blockage of the signal.

  • Advanced Broadcast Media
    Introduction to Broadcast Media (Notes) Tutorial Cutting to the chase: Broadcast media is radio and television. Even amidst the pop culture dominance of the internet, broadcast media still commands the largest share of the advertising pie nationwide. Put the audio and visual media to work for you as your company earns larger market share, stronger branding, and increased sales. If you are looking for cost-efficient lead generation, you need to be looking at radio and television advertising. Not only are radio and television the main media for advertising today, they are continually developing new ways to reach their audience. The SyFy cable network launched a show (“Defiance”) that combines interactions on a video game with the plot of a series show. Radio stations are supplementing on-air campaigns with digital media to provide on-air and on-screen promotions to those who stream the station through their computer. Multiple studies have shown that combining radio and television can help advertisers reach audiences not achievable with only one medium or the other. Broadcast Media Broadcast television Cable television On-demand television TV/web integration Local, network, and national radio On-air endorsements Long-form programming Multi-language programming The Power of Radio Radio reaches more Americans than any other advertising media. As an example, let’s look at Los Angeles, CA. It is the #1 radio revenue market in the world and generates more than $1 billion dollars in sales each year. In that market alone, more than 9 million people listen to radio each week. People are loyal to radio and love listening to their favorite DJ or talk show host.

  • The All-Channel Television Receiver Law
    THE IMPACT OF UHF PROMOTION: THE ALL-CHANNEL TELEVISION RECEIVER LAW DouGLAS W. WEBBINK* INTRODUCTION The All-Channel Television Receiver Law1 was passed by Congress in the spring of 1962 at the request of the Federal Communications Commission and was signed into law by President Kennedy on July io,1962. This law gave the Federal Communications Commission the authority to require that all television receivers sold to the public should be capable of receiving all frequencies allocated for tele- vision use.' On November 21, 1962, using the authority given it by this law, the Federal Communications Commission ruled that after April 3o, 1964, "all TV receivers shipped in interstate commerce [must] be able to adequately receive UHF as well as VHF channels."3 As a consequence, the All-Channel Television Receiver Law required that after April 1964 all new television receivers would be all- channel receivers, and it made illegal the sale of new television receivers capable of receiving only very-high frequencies. Although this law has been in existence for eight years, almost no one has questioned the basic assumption that this law was "in the public interest." The purposes or goals of this law may be inferred by studying the hearings4 and the reports5 of the Congressional committees which held hearings on the law. There appear to have been several separate but related reasons given for the passage of the law. The law was expected to increase the number of new ultra-high frequency commercial and noncommercial television stations going on the air. The law could also be described as a piece of special-interest legislation whose pur- pose was to help existing ultra-high frequency stations which were making relatively small profits or outright losses.
