  • Countdown and Cult Music Television Programmes
    Giuffre, Liz Countdown and Cult Music Television Programmes Countdown and cult music television programmes: an Australian case study Liz Giuffre Abstract Music television programs, programs that focus on music for their core content, have been produced all over the world for all types of markets. However there remains little sustained work on them beyond studies of key production periods, franchise waves or biography-like narratives. This article shows that theories of Cult TV can be applied to music television programs to help explore this neglected form, as well as helping to expand Cult TV’s theoretical reach beyond its traditional fare of narrative driven, fiction series. This article offers 1970s and ‘80s Australian music television program Countdown as a prime example of Cult TV, first in the context of its initial production and consumption in 1970s and ‘80s Australia, and also in terms of its subsequent influence on contemporary audiences from a historical perspective. The Cult TV frame extends to the program itself in its original incarnation, as well as additional recontextualisations in new music television programs, and the continued work of its former host, Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum. Introduction1 Music television is an unusual type of programming. It provides both regular entertainment that is watched intensely while on air, and produces key moments that survive well in audience collective memory. ‘Live’ music performance and interview series Countdown remains an icon of the Australian television and music industries.2 Created by the national public service broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC),3 the show was broadcast from 1974 to 1987 on Sunday evenings and was highly influential with television audiences and the broader music industry.4 Countdown provided opportunities for music artists and audiences to engage with each other in a way that had not previously been possible.

  • Music Television 1/27/03 5:30 PM
    Music Television 1/27/03 5:30 PM MUSIC TELEVISION MTV (Music Television) is the oldest and most influential American cable network specializing in music?related programming. It was launched on August 1, 1981, with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken on camera by John Lack, one of the creators of MTV. This introduction was immediately followed by the music?video clip Video Killed the Radio Star, featuring a band called the Buggles. The title proved somewhat prophetic as MTV greatly transformed the nature of music?industry stardom over the next several years. At the same time, MTV became a major presence in the cable?TV industry and in fact in the overall American cultural landscape. One of the earliest and greatest cable success stories, MTV was established by Warner Amex Satellite Courtesy of MTV Entertainment Company (WASEC) after extensive marketing research. The key to MTV's viability, at least Some of the displaced musical content of MTV, initially, was the availability of low-cost programming in especially soft rock and other "adult" music, has landed the form of music videos. Originally these were provided on VH1 (Video Hits 1), a second video channel owned by free by record companies, which thought of them as MTV. Launched in 1985, VH?1 (hyphenated until 1994) advertising for their records and performers. quickly acquired a reputation as "video valium" for yuppies. Otherwise, the channel has had an indistinct MTV presented one video after another in a constant image and has languished in the shadow of MTV. "flow" that contrasted with the discrete individual Makeovers in 1989 and (especially) 1994 raised the programs found on other television networks.

  • User Interface Development for Interactive Television: Extending a Commercialdtv Platformto the Virtualchannelapi Konstantinos Chorianopoulos*, Diomidis Spinellis
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Computers & Graphics 28 (2004) 157–166 User interface development for interactive television: extending a commercialDTV platformto the virtualchannelAPI Konstantinos Chorianopoulos*, Diomidis Spinellis Athens University of Economics & Business,Patision 76, GR-104 34 Athens, Greece Abstract We explore the generation of interactive computer graphics at digital set-top boxes in place of the fixed graphics that were embedded to the television video before the broadcast. This direction raises new requirements for user interface development, since the graphics are merged with video at each set-top box dynamically, without the traditional quality control from the television producers. Besides the technical issues, interactive computer graphics for television should be evaluated by television viewers. We employ an animated character in an interactive music television application that was evaluated by consumers, and was developed using the Virtual Channel Control Library, a custom high-level API, that was built using Microsoft Windows and TV technologies. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Up to now, the TV viewers’ interactive experience has been stuck at the Teletext, which is actually an Computer graphics have played an instrumental role information tool and is usually unrelated to the running in delivering the TV experience [1,2]. For example, television content. Recent advances in STB technology computer graphics and animation have been used widely have introduced realtime video capturing and rich in the post-production of television content (Fig. 1) for multimedia at consumers’ homes. Digital STBs like inserting the channellogo,animated intros/endings, and TiVo store television content, while the user controls the displaying various kinds of information (sport statistics, television flow with an on-screen user interface.
