  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St

    RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St

    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

  • Asheville I-26 Connector River User Communication Plan

    I-26 Connector STIP Project No. I-2513 I-26 Asheville Connector from I-40 to US 19-23-70 north of Asheville in Buncombe County, North Carolina STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE I-26 ASHEVILLE CONNECTOR I-26 Connector Project Overview The I-26 Connector project is an interstate freeway project that would connect I-26 in southwestern Asheville to US 19-23-70 in northwest Asheville and have a total length of approximately 7 miles. The I-26 Connector would extend I-26 from I-40 to US 19-23-70 and would allow for the eventual designation of I-26 from Charleston, South Carolina, to Johnson City, Tennessee, once a remaining section from the north end of this project to Mars Hill, North Carolina, is completed. The I-26 Connector would upgrade and widen I-240 from I-40 to Patton Avenue and then cross the French Broad River as a new freeway to US 19-23-70 slightly south of the Broadway interchange. The project is broken into three separate sections. The first section, Section C includes the area around the I-26/I- 40/I-240 interchange. Section A of the project is the widening and improvements along I-240 from slightly north of the I-26/I-40/I-240 interchange to slightly south of Patton Avenue. Section B of the project is from slightly south of the Patton Avenue interchange to US 19-23-70 near the Broadway interchange and includes a new roadway and bridges across the French Broad River.
