Public Media – Pubic Broadcasting System (PBS)
SUPPORTING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA ACTION NEEDED We urge Congress to: Restore public broadcasting funding to the FY 2013 appropriation level of $445 million through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Pass the Community Access Preservation Act (CAP Act) to preserve public, educational, and governmental (PEG) non-commercial cable channels for local communities. OVERVIEW—PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA Public media consists of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and more than 1,000 local public broadcasting stations. Community media is comprised of public, educational, and government (PEG) cable access TV and community radio stations. Both public and community media have a long history of presenting local, regional, and national nonprofit arts programming, a great majority of which is not available on commercial channels. These organizations play a unique role in bringing both classics and contemporary works to the American public. All of these systems exist because of federal funding or legislation. TALKING POINTS— CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING In creating America’s unique public broadcasting system, Congress acknowledged public broadcasting’s role in transmitting arts and culture: “It is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of public radio and television broadcasting, including the use of such media for instructional, educational, and cultural purposes.” And Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is the vehicle through which Congress has chosen to promote noncommercial public telecommunications. CPB does not produce or broadcast programs. The vast majority of funding through CPB goes directly to local public broadcast stations in the form of Community Service Grants. The federal portion of the average public station’s revenue is approximately 10–15 percent. -

Pubic Broadcasting System (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR)
SUPPORTING PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY MEDIA ACTION NEEDED We urge Congress to: • Retain funding for public broadcasting at FY 2012 levels through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). • Pass the Community Access Preservation Act (H.R. 1746), introduced by Rep. Steven LaTourette (R- OH) and Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D- WI), to preserve public, educational, and governmental (PEG) non- commercial cable channels for local communities. Overview– Public and Community Media Public media consists of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and more than 1,000 local public broadcasting stations.

Satellite Uplinks
TOS Pt.3 PBS Technology & Operations TECHNICAL OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS Satellite Uplinks 2013 Edition 1. SCOPE AND PURPOSE This specification defines uplink performance requirements for the Public Television Interconnection System. These parameters will address the settings for uplink MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 encoders, multiplexer, DVB-S and DVB-S2 modulators, and any redundant systems. The goal is to provide consistent quality performance among multiple uplink providers serving the Public Television Satellite Interconnection System. It is essential that all parameters be set correctly. It is vital that all uplink operators meet these performance requirements and protocols. Most stations rely on consistent signals from the satellite system and member stations do not have the manpower or means to compensate for variations. This specification prescribes standards that uplink operators must meet, and informs receiving stations what signal standards they should expect. This document is especially important for uplink operators working with other satellite services, since some of these specifications are unique to the PBS system. 2. SYSTEM INFORMATION PBS currently uses transponders on satellite AMC-21 for Ku service to member stations and on satellite AMC-1 for C-Band service for home consumers. The modulation formats in use are DVB-S2 for all MCPC services and HD SCPC services and either DVB-S or DVB-S2 for all SD SCPC services. Users are encouraged to utilize DVB-S2 modulation on SD transmissions whenever possible. DVB-S2 modulation will become a requirement on all services at a future date TBD All of these services have a payload contained within a standard MPEG transport stream. -
A Study on the Role of Public and Private Sector Radio in Women's
Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 4, Issue 2 – Pages 121-140 A Study on the Role of Public and Private Sector Radio in Women’s Development with Special Reference to India By Afreen Rikzana Abdul Rasheed Neelamalar Maraimalai† Radio plays an important role in the lives of women belonging to all sections of society, but especially for homemakers to relieve them from isolation and help them to lighten their spirit by hearing radio programs. Women today play almost every role in the Radio Industry - as Radio Jockeys, Program Executives, Sound Engineers and so on in both public and private radio broadcasting and also in community radio. All India Radio (AIR) constitutes the public radio broadcasting sector of India, and it has been serving to inform, educate and entertain the masses. In addition, the private radio stations started to emerge in India from 2001. The study focuses on private and public radio stations in Chennai, which is an important metropolitan city in India, and on how they contribute towards the development of women in society. Keywords: All India Radio, private radio station, public broadcasting, radio, women’s development Introduction Women play a vital role in the process of a nation’s change and development. The Indian Constitution provides equal status to men and women. The status of women in India has massively transformed over the past few years in terms of their access to education, politics, media, art and culture, service sectors, science and technology activities etc. (Agarwal, 2008). As a result, though Indian women have the responsibilities of maintaining their family’s welfare, they also enjoy more liberty and opportunities to chase their dreams. -

Public Service Broadcasting in Transition: A Documentary Reader Abstract This is a book of documents, comments, and cases that has been prepared, at the request of the European Institute for the Media, for the use of government officials and citizens interested in strengthening public service broadcasting in transition societies. In this book we try to provide a small chest of tools and background information that will be of assistance. We start, in Chapter 1, with an overview of some of the general principles of public service broadcasting, and include pertinent comments on each of them. Here, as throughout the book, we concentrate on issues of governance and financing, with some attention as well ot issues surrounding programming. In Chapter 2, we turn to current issues in the European-level debate, partly from the perspective of European expectations and standards that are employed in evaluation and accession processes. -
