  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

  • An Exploration of Timely Television News Broadcasts Repurposed As Online Content
    ABSTRACT WARE, JENNIFER MARIE. Still 'Live at the Scene': An Exploration of Timely Television News Broadcasts Repurposed as Online Content. (Under the direction of Dr. Melissa Johnson). Technology has afforded journalists a myriad of new opportunities to promote and publish content online. This project provides an overview of many of the new practices that have become standard operating procedures for digital media news creation and examines how the heavy imprint of traditional media news values are not contextualized within the new media platforms. As such, this project demonstrates that the traditional television media forms and values imported into a new medium may not be the best practice for the new platform unless new concepts are added to existing journalism practice. While generally the idea of what makes an event “newsworthy” has not changed dramatically, the video news dissemination processes have changed considerably. In broadcast journalism, TV news content is shifted from a one-time TV broadcast that is controlled by the content provider and broadcast at a specific moment to an interactive online environment in which video content can be shared and saved by users to play at a later time. This online environment also affords journalists the ability to upload and change information throughout the day or even days/weeks later, bringing a sense of immediacy to the online content. This brings to the fore issues related to the implicit timeliness of repurposed broadcast news videos situated within an online environment that centers upon immediacy and content interactivity. This project explores the inadvertent temporal shifts within the products produced that hinge upon particular news values for a specific medium.

  • December 2020 No
    ® MEMORANDUM TO CLIENTS March 2019 No. 19-02 December 2020 No. 20-11 FCC Authorizes All-Digital AM Service by Anne Goodwin Crump (703) 812-0426 [email protected] Taking the next step in its ongoing efforts to revitalize the AM broadcast service, the Federal Com- munications Commission (“FCC” or the “Commission”) has authorized AM radio stations to convert to all-digital broadcasting. Making such a switch is expected both to improve the quality of the sig- nal received by listeners and to expand the area in which the audience can receive a listenable signal. Another advantage is that such broadcasts can include metadata, such as song and artist identifica- tion, station identification, and the like, plus there is the future possibility of a separate multicast AM channel. The primary downside is that current analog receivers will be unable to pick up the all- digital broadcasts, which means that listeners that currently do not have a digital AM receiver will need to obtain one. The FCC repeatedly emphasized, however, that any decision to change to all-digital operation is entirely voluntary. The FCC expects that different AM stations will make different decisions, especially at first, based on the availability of digital receivers in a particular mar- ket, the make-up of a station’s audience, the format, and the invest- ment required. Because the change to all-digital is voluntary, the FCC is not as worried about transition issues or potential loss of ser- vice to existing listeners. Likewise, the likely gradual change will make it easier for the FCC to respond to any interference issues that might unexpectedly surface.
