I would not have accomplished this without your help. To my son, Hudson, may you always strive to reach your goals, no matter how difficult they may seem. Melissa, thank you for the love, patience, and support you provided me through this challenge. Mom, you always pushed me to work hard and provided me the guidance and encouragement to set my goals high. This dissertation is also in memory of my inspirational grandparents, Lenna and Frank Baker. iii Acknowledgements They often say that it takes a village to raise a child. A similar thing could be said about completing a doctorate. It is no small feat, and only possible through the support, encouragement, assistance, and guidance of many. It is essential to acknowledge all of those who helped me through this journey – each in different ways. The supervisory committee is the backbone of any dissertation. These individuals tirelessly committed time and energy to review my work, providing corrections and suggestions, guiding thought, suggesting references, and most importantly encouraging me. Many hours were spent on phone calls and skype meetings, all of which helped me become a better student and researcher. Thank you to Dr. Alain May, Dr. Aleksi Aaltonen, and Dr. Terry Beckman for filling this role. I am most appreciative of your support and the role you have played. To the cohort of 2013, thank you for the constructive debate we enjoyed through our coursework. I drew a great deal of inspiration from all of you. You all provided support and encouragement that will never be forgotten. To my family and friends, I cannot thank you enough for your ongoing patience and encouragement. None of you ever questioned why I needed time to myself to study, read, write, or why I was taking this journey. Instead, you only encouraged me to continue and provided a sympathetic ear for when I needed it. iv Lastly, I need to acknowledge Dr. Ricardo Gomez-Insausti, for it was his belief in me and his encouragement that led me down this path. Ricardo, I will be eternally grateful for you pushing me along this journey and allowing me to grow as a researcher and academic. v BIG DATA INNOVATION MECHANISMS Abstract As a response to growing fragmentation, niche programming, and increasing competition from other forms of media, the Canadian television industry is undergoing rapid changes through digital innovation. Existing audience information systems are being enhanced with big data in order to allow the television audience marketplace to gain thicker and richer insights about television audiences. This evolution has allowed broadcasters to manufacture new forms of the television audience product with many features that were previously absent in the traditional television audience product. This study investigates the various generative mechanisms allowing Canadian television broadcasters to successfully innovate by enhancing their systems with these new sources of data. Supported by critical realism, affordance theory, and a stepwise analysis method, semi- structured interviews were conducted across three Canadian television broadcasters as a means to understand this digital innovation process. Five generative mechanisms are identified through the digital innovation process allowing for a better understanding of digital innovation with big data, particularly related to the audience product. These findings build on previous work by expanding the current understanding of the digital innovation process as well as the digital infrastructure mechanism by highlighting the central role in which digital infrastructures can play within an industry. Concurrently a new understanding of audiences is further developed by providing evidence that the audience is a manifestation of the underlying data itself – a significant reconceptualization of the audience product. These findings, as well as the analysis process, provide an empirical example of the role of affordances with big data. Despite vi BIG DATA INNOVATION MECHANISMS many calls for research, the role of big data in digital innovation is a significantly underdeveloped area of research. Lastly, by leveraging a quantitative method for pattern identification and grouping, the study further develops the existing critical realist methodology by building upon the analysis process for the identification of generative mechanisms.

It seems that summer has kicked into gear in many parts of North America a little early. The grass is turning green, the trees are beginning to bud and the snow shovels are put away for the season. There’s been a little bit of tropo. There’s been a little bit of skip in the south. There’s also been some horrible storms and tornados in places. We hope everyone is okay and stayed out of danger. This month we find that Ken Simon (Lake Worthless, FL) has rejoined the club.

  • Media Ownership Rules
    05-Sadler.qxd 2/3/2005 12:47 PM Page 101 5 MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES It is the purpose of this Act, among other things, to maintain control of the United States over all the channels of interstate and foreign radio transmission, and to provide for the use of such channels, but not the ownership thereof, by persons for limited periods of time, under licenses granted by Federal author- ity, and no such license shall be construed to create any right, beyond the terms, conditions, and periods of the license. —Section 301, Communications Act of 1934 he Communications Act of 1934 reestablished the point that the public airwaves were “scarce.” They were considered a limited and precious resource and T therefore would be subject to government rules and regulations. As the Supreme Court would state in 1943,“The radio spectrum simply is not large enough to accommodate everybody. There is a fixed natural limitation upon the number of stations that can operate without interfering with one another.”1 In reality, the airwaves are infinite, but the govern- ment has made a limited number of positions available for use. In the 1930s, the broadcast industry grew steadily, and the FCC had to grapple with the issue of broadcast station ownership. The FCC felt that a diversity of viewpoints on the airwaves served the public interest and was best achieved through diversity in station ownership. Therefore, to prevent individuals or companies from controlling too many broadcast stations in one area or across the country, the FCC eventually instituted ownership rules. These rules limit how many broadcast stations a person can own in a single market or nationwide.
