  • Station Ownership and Programming in Radio
    FCC Media Ownership Study #5: Station Ownership and Programming in Radio By Tasneem Chipty CRA International, Inc. June 24, 2007 * CRA International, Inc., 200 Clarendon Street, T-33, Boston, MA 02116. I would like to thank Rashmi Melgiri, Matt List, and Caterina Nelson for helpful discussions and valuable assistance. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of CRA International, Inc., or any of its other employees. Station Ownership and Programming in Radio by Tasneem Chipty, CRA International, June, 2007 I. Introduction Out of concern that common ownership of media may stifle diversity of voices and viewpoints, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has historically placed limits on the degree of common ownership of local radio stations, as well as on cross-ownership among radio stations, television stations, and newspapers serving the same local area. The 1996 Telecommunications Act loosened local radio station ownership restrictions, to different degrees across markets of different sizes, and it lifted all limits on radio station ownership at the national level. Subsequent FCC rule changes permitted common ownership of television and radio stations in the same market and also permitted a certain degree of cross-ownership between radio stations and newspapers. These changes have resulted in a wave of radio station mergers as well as a number of cross-media acquisitions, shifting control over programming content to fewer hands. For example, the number of radio stations owned or operated by Clear Channel Communications increased from about 196 stations in 1997 to 1,183 stations in 2005; the number of stations owned or operated by CBS (formerly known as Infinity) increased from 160 in 1997 to 178 in 2005; and the number of stations owned or operated by ABC increased from 29 in 1997 to 71 in 2005.

SCHAEFER BREWING CO., NEW YORK It has come to our attention lately that certalll une1sy rU/lll)lll1gs have marred the pacific bliss of coeducational intercourse, or, more' properly, non-intercourse, at the Institute. Until now, all the action has been confined to the pages of an obscure campus journal, but it would not be prudent, we think, to ignore the incidents to date as insignifi- cant. Of course, it is no great secret that Tech men place their own co- eds only slightly higher in social esteem, generally, than inanimate ob- jects, and it has rarely occurred that a cooed has confused one of her male colleagues with Prince Charming, but never before. in our recol- lection, has either side publicly denounced the other in words. It would seem that serious consideration on the part of our keener official minds is warranted before this situation gets out of hand. As noted above, it has already been exploited by the baser element of the campus press, and, if unchecked, there's no telling what manner of trouble these glee- ful irrepressibles will foment. The very scheme of coeducation is (lues- tioned.

The research reported in this document was made possible in part by support extended the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, Research Laboratory of Electronics, jointly by the Army Signal Corps, the Navy Department (Office of Naval Research), and the Air Force (Air Materiel Command), under Signal Corps Contract DA36-039 sc-100, Project 8-102B-0; De- partment of the Army Project 3-99-10-022. - _ _ _ MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH LABORATORY OF ELECTRONICS Technical Report No. 245 September 22, 1952 A RECEIVER DESIGN FOR REJECTING INTERFERENCE Roy A. Paananen Research Laboratory of Electronics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts This report is based on a thesis presented for the degree of Electrical Engineer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1952. Abstract This report concerns the application of a wideband, interference-reducing theory to FM broadcast receiver design. In the first part, the space link between the trans- mitter and receiver is examined, with discussions of FM coverage and expected inter- ference in a given area. This material allows the determination of some of the receiv- er parameters, such as selectivity and spurious responses. The second part of the report pertains to the receiver itself. Various selectivity configurations are compared, with special attention to an approximation method useful in filter amplifier design.
