The Future of Community Broadcasting The Future of Community Broadcasting Civil Society and Communications Policy Elinor Rennie BA (Hons) Creative Industries Research and Applications Centre Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2003 ii Keywords access, civil society, communitarianism, community broadcasting, communications policy, cultural policy, development, digital television, free speech, new media policies, non-commercialism, quality iii Abstract Will community television one day be lamented in the same way as the Glenn Valley Bridge Club in Pennsylvania, where no one remains ‘who can tell us precisely when or why the group broke up’ (Putnam, 2000: 15)? Robert Putnam’s bestseller Bowling Alone proposed that people ‘need to reconnect with one another’ and rebuild their communities for the good of society. Although he may not have succeeded in instigating a revival of lawn bowls and bridge, Putnam did spark a debate about the meaning of “community” today and its role in bringing about positive social change. At a time when the communications landscape is set to transform with the introduction of digital broadcasting technology, this thesis looks at the status of community broadcasting and its role within civil society. Taking Australia’s community television sector as its starting point, it aims to define the pressures, public philosophies and policy decisions that make community broadcasting what it is. iv This thesis is structured thematically and geographically. The introductory chapters establish the research question in relation to Australia’s community broadcasting sector. As well as tracing the intellectual path of community media studies, it sets out to locate community broadcasting within broader intellectual debates around notions of community, governance and the media. These are brought back to the “on-the-ground” reality throughout the thesis by means of policy analysis, interviews and anecdotal evidence. Chapters Three to Five map out the themes of access, the public interest and development by reference to community broadcasting in different regions. In North America I explore notions of free speech and first-come-first served models of access. In Europe, notions of “quality”, public service broadcasting and the difficult relationship that community broadcasting has with public interest values. Through the Third World and the Third Way I examine how community broadcasting is implicated within development discourse and ideas of social change. The final chapter of the thesis moves into the virtual region of the Internet, looking at changing notions of access and the relevance of new communications rationales to the community broadcasting project. At the intersection of the various themes and models discussed throughout the thesis exists a strong rationale for the future of community broadcasting. Although new technologies may be interpreted as the beginning of the end of community broadcasting, I have argued that in fact it is an idea whose time has come. v Table of Contents LIST OF DIAGRAMS ...........................................................................................................vi ABBREVIATIONS................................................................................................................vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................................................................................x INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................................1 CHAPTER ONE: AUSTRALIA ..........................................................................................15 CHAPTER TWO: THEORETICAL CONTEXTS ............................................................51 CHAPTER THREE: NORTH AMERICA .........................................................................79 CHAPTER FOUR: EUROPE ............................................................................................122 CHAPTER FIVE: THIRD WORLD AND THIRD WAY...............................................154 CHAPTER SIX: NEW POLICIES, NEW TECHNOLOGIES .......................................196 CONCLUSION....................................................................................................................225 BIBLIOGRAPHY................................................................................................................236 List of Diagrams DIAGRAM 1: THESIS OUTLINE ......................................................................................20 DIAGRAM 2: STATUS OF COMMUNITY BROADCASTING .....................................36 vii Abbreviations ABA Australian Broadcasting Authority ABCB Australian Broadcasting Control Board ABT Australian Broadcasting Tribunal ACA Australian Consumers Association ACE TV Adelaide Community and Educational Television AFC Australian Film Commission AMARC Association Mondiale des Radiodiffuseurs Communautaires ATSIC Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Commission ATVA Asian Television Association BENT TV Collective of queer television broadcasters BRACS Broadcasting for Remote Aboriginal Communities Scheme BSA Broadcasting Services Act 1992 CAT TV Community Access Television Inc.

Elinor Rennie June, 2003 x Acknowledgements It seems that everyone who writes about community broadcasting has also worked in the sector. Whether we get much of an audience in either pursuit is beside the point – it is the process and networks that make both achievable and worthwhile (although we do still cross our fingers and hope the content is ok). Those who put-up with my rough edits and endured countless meetings from both the broadcasting and academic communities get first thanks. My supervisor, Christina Spurgeon, made this project happen and literally put the world at my feet. The wise words of Stuart Cunningham and Barry Melville (my associate supervisors) always pointed me in the right direction. In the broadcasting community I am especially grateful to the CBAA team (Andrew Brine, David Sice and Jan McArthur) whose collaboration on policy projects influenced my thesis without them knowing it. Also to everyone at SKA TV (in particular Jeff, Cam, Peter, John, Rose, Ntennis) who never gave up. As Cam once said, ‘there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and for once it’s not another train coming…’ Many people contributed their thoughts to this thesis.

Thanks to my family and friends in Melbourne who I did not spend nearly enough time with and all my Brisbane friends who were always there. xii Introduction Simply, the sector lacks the political power of both public service radio and commercial radio. While the sector has been sanctioned and offered some support by the state, it has also been under-resourced in terms of material needs such as equipment and funding and ignored in public debate, analysis and polemic – Albert Moran The Research Question Australia’s community television trial is coming to an end. For over a decade community television groups have been analog broadcasting under an open narrowcasting trial on the sixth free-to-air television channel. The expectation has been that if the stations can prove their viability – with no government funding and short one-year apparatus licence terms – that they will become fully licensed community broadcasters.

  • Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY
    Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY Introduction By producing or licensing TV, film, sports, and other premium content, network operators aim to create content libraries that increase the appeal of bundled offers (e.g., triple and quad play services), stand out from the competition, and provide exclusive value to their subscribers, all of which contribute to top-line revenue. For some operators, the video strategy is to deliver TV and video-on-demand (VOD) services exclusively via an app. Television content can be pirated in many ways. BitTorrent can be used to share files with peers, the media player app Kodi can be modified with unofficial add-ons, and even websites can host files that subscribers can easily stream in a browser. A new emergent form of subscription television piracy, that aims to replicate the live television experience offered by cable and satellite providers is seeing increased adoption in developed markets. Left unchecked, we expect this live television piracy trend to grow both due to the ease and relatively low cost of accessing unlicensed content and due to the facilities available on the internet for pirates to leverage. The risk to operators is enormous: continued adoption of pirate TV streaming services could lead to increased cordcutting, significantly impacting top-line revenue, overall profitability, and - by extension - undermining an important aspect of the business model of operators. IDENTIFYING SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION PIRACY To better understand the problem of live television piracy services, Sandvine worked with several North American fixed access operators to research the adoption of subscription television piracy services on their networks.

  • Ro-TV: Process and Participation
    3CMedia Journal of Community, Citizen’s and Third Sector Media and Communication ISSN 1832-6161 Issue 2 October 2006 Ro-TV: Process and participation Michelle Johnston 3CMedia is an e-journal hosted at http://www.cbonline.org.au. For further information, please contact [email protected]. 3CMedia 30 Ro-TV: Process and participation Michelle Johnston Abstract RO-TV is a community television program, produced in collaboration with Rotary WA that demonstrates the ideals and objectives of community media. This paper discusses the pilot series of RO- TV in both a theoretical and practical sense. The production technique employed by the program and the experience of the program’s participants is explored in terms of the theoretical principles and ideals of community media. As a University lecturer in Film and Television I have produced many hours of programming for Perth’s community television station, Access 31. When approached to produce a television program for Rotary Western Australia I saw an opportunity to explore some of the principles of community television in both a practical and theoretic sense. The program was produced and broadcast over the summer of 2004/05, and became the subject of my Honours Project. My experience in its production and the outcomes of that experience are discussed in this paper. Of particular interest to community television program makers, I believe, are the program’s production style and technique, and the value of participation for those involved in the program’s production. There is an expectation that the programs that feature on community television generally, and hence Access 31 in particular, will serve the local community in some way.

  • How to Disrupt Television Signals.Htm
    2/8/2014 How To Disrupt Television Signals.htm Broadcast signal intrusion a term given to the act of hijacking broadcast signals of radio, television stations, cable television broadcast feeds or satellite signals. There are several techniques for disrupting or pirating broadcast signals, most of which have been made very difficult, or obsolete, by the move to digital television. Analog Techniques: Relay hijack Many analog relay transmitters would "listen" to a more powerful main transmitter and relay the signal verbatim. If the main transmitter ceased to broadcast (for example, when a channel closed down overnight) then a pirate signal on the same frequency as the main transmitter could cause the relay to "wake up" and relay unauthorized programming instead. Typically this would be done by outputting a very weak RF signal within the immediate vicinity of the relay: for example, a video cassette recorder (such as a 12v system designed for use in trucks) sending its signal to a home­made antenna pointed at the relay. As the pirate signal is relatively weak, the source can be difficult to locate if it is well hidden. Unsecured analogue satellite transponders have also been reported to have been hijacked in a similar manner. Unauthorized transmitter Reasonably powerful VHF/UHF transmitters can be built relatively easily by any electronics hobbyist, or imported from a less strict country. The primary challenge to this technique is finding a suitable yet inconspicuous vantage point for the transmission antenna. Analog or Digital Source hijack A “man­in­the­middle attack” is performed upon the source material, so that authorized official transmissions are fed with unauthorized programming from the central studio or play­out facility.

  • NOONGAR DANDJOO: a Cross-Cultural Collaborative Approach to Aboriginal Community Television Production
    NOONGAR DANDJOO: A Cross-Cultural Collaborative Approach to Aboriginal Community Television Production. ! ! Coming Together by Dale Tilbrook! ! ! Michelle!Johnston!(BA!Honours)! This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor Philosophy of Murdoch University 2013 ! ! ! I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ........................................................... Michelle Johnston ! ! ! ! ! Ethics approval number: 2009/067 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ii!! ! ABSTRACT! Prior to commencing this PhD project, my research into community media revealed that Aboriginal people were mostly absent from Perth community television. In spite of participating in a consortium to establish community television in Perth, the Aboriginal community had not broadcast a single program by 2006 when this PhD project commenced. In this same year, the only Aboriginal community radio station in the south-west lost its licence and the local Noongar community were working towards re- establishing their radio presence. Thus, while Aboriginal community media in other parts of Australia were experiencing considerable success, Perth Aboriginal media appeared to be struggling. This prompted a series of questions that this research set out to investigate. How did the Perth Aboriginal community feel about community media? How strongly if at all did they want their voices to be part of the public sphere? Were there circumstances, particular to Perth, that were impeding the establishment of Aboriginal community media? What were the ingredients needed to establish successful Aboriginal community media in an urban environment like Perth? The answers to these questions were sought through the production of an Aboriginal magazine-style television program series called Noongar Dandjoo, named after the Noongar tribal group who are the traditional custodians of the land in the south-west of Western Australia.
