It isn’t a word often used in businesses, but it is a word often used about businesses. Whether a customer loves your brand, loves your menu, loves your servers or loves your culture translates into whether your business will thrive. Love is a word businesses should get comfortable with. The annual Consumer Picks special report from Nation’s Restau- rant News and WD Partners is a measure of restaurant brand success from the eyes of their guests. Surveying customers to the tune of 37,339 ratings, Lincluding specific data points on 10 restaurant brand attributes like Cleanliness, Value, Service and Craveability, Consumer Picks ranks 173 chains on whether or not their guests are feeling the love. In this year’s report, starting on page 10, there is valuable analysis on top strat- egies to win over the customer, from the simplicity of cleaning the restaurant to the more complex undertaking of introducing an app to provide guests access to quick mobile payment options. Some winning brands relaunched menus and oth- ers redesigned restaurants. It is very clear through this report’s data and operator insights that to satisfy today’s demanding consumer, a holistic approach to your brand — who you are, what you stand for, the menu items you serve, the style in which you serve it and the atmosphere you provide to your guest — is required. This isn’t anything new.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

RVN‐2 refers to the broadcast license call sign of the station, “2” being the channel number of the frequency. However, RVN‐2 was also the name and reference attributed to the station and the channel for many decades amongst viewers, and up to today, those who experienced RVN‐2 sometimes still refer to the channel as that. RVN‐2 was more than just a television service. Its identity on air and its Kooringal Studio facility became local institutions equivalent to that of a landmark. The station was a major local industry, at one time employing 150 local people in various roles from production to technical to clerical, as well as providing an introduction and training ground for young television employees.

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.

That’s not nearly as easy to do as it may seem. While local TV news has been the predominant supplier of local news for some time,1 it’s not alone in the field, and it’s not always clear how all the competitors line up. Who’s ascendant and who’s not? Historically, the major players have been local television stations, local news- papers and local radio stations.

  • Productivity Commission Inquiry Into Broadcasting
    PRODUCTIVITY COMMISSION INQUIRY INTO BROADCASTING SUBMISSION FROM THE FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIAN COMMERCIAL TELEVISION STATIONS MAY 1999 SUMMARY OF SUBMISSION Governments everywhere in the world have intervened in the broadcasting industry to secure a range of economic, social and cultural objectives. Australian Governments have done so for many reasons. Some of these reasons are now of diminishing relevance, while others remain highly relevant on social, cultural or economic grounds. This submission assesses key broadcasting policies, in order to ascertain whether the public benefits outweigh the costs to the community of the restrictions imposed on the industry, or on competition within the industry. Currently, Australia has one of the best and most comprehensive free-to-air broadcasting systems in the world. It offers diversity of programming, quality, national coverage and local services, and programs reflecting our identity as Australians. This has been achieved through a structure of broadcasting developed over many decades. It involves a hybrid system of advertiser-funded and government-funded broadcasters. The advertiser-funded commercial free-to-air services are the predominant element in the system. These locally-licensed services are highly competitive and efficient. They provide much more local service and locally-produced programming - the costliest service components - than would be expected in a country with such a small population. They are able to do this because of long-standing (though recently reviewed) regulatory limits on the number of commercial services in each licence area. These impressive (and costly) service levels are already proving hard to maintain in the face of limited advertising growth and expanding competition from other media.

  • FREE TV AUSTRALIA OPERATIONAL PRACTICE OP- 40 ALLOCATION of DVB SERVICE INFORMATION CODES for AUSTRALIA Issue 4 September 2017 Page 1 of 18
    FREE TV AUSTRALIA OPERATIONAL PRACTICE OP- 40 ALLOCATION OF DVB SERVICE INFORMATION CODES FOR AUSTRALIA Issue 4 September 2017 Page 1 of 18 1. SCOPE This document specifies the method and values for assignment of DVB network, transport and service identifiers carried in the program specific information / service information (PSI/SI) of free-to-air digital terrestrial and satellite television broadcasts in Australia. These are applied so that within and outside Australia, each transmission’s data transport stream is unique and its contents can be individually identified. This also assists in the application of program guides and time zones for which Australian television broadcasters have regulatory obligations. OP-40 defines codes and identifiers allocated by the DVB Project Office to Australian television broadcasters. ETSI TS 101 162 defines the allocation of identifiers pertaining to different DVB specifications. The DVB Project Office is the only Registrar entitled to accept applications and perform registrations under the regime in ETSI TS 101 162. The DVB Project Office maintains a public, on-line register of assigned identifiers. In the case of Network_IDs for the terrestrial delivery medium, assignments are made available to the appropriate national telecommunications regulator and their allocation in each country is under responsibility of this regulator. In Australia this is the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Free TV Australia manages the allocation of DVB Service Information Codes on behalf of the Australian Communications and Media Authority. The rule of code and identifier assignment is to allocate assignments on a geographical basis so that no conflict of network ids occur in any geographic region.
