  • Open Cho YS Thesis.Pdf
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications COMPETITION AND PROGRAM TYPE DIVERSITY IN THE OVER-THE-AIR TELEVISION INDUSTRY, 1943-2005 A Thesis in Mass Communications by Young Shin Cho © 2007 Young Shin Cho Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2007 The thesis of Young-Shin Cho was reviewed and approved* by the following: Richard Taylor Palmer Chair of Telecommunications Studies and Law Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Matt Jackson Associate Professor of Communications Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of Communications Lynette Kvasny Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology John S. Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

  • Professional Team Sports in Las Vegas: What the Research Says
    Professional Team Sports in Las Vegas: What the Research Says UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS l FEBRUARY 1, 2016 Bo J. Bernhard, Ph.D.; Anthony Cabot, Ph.D.; Kahlil Philander, Ph.D.; and Mark Lipparelli, M.B.A. (Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Ph.D., academic editor; Katherine Jackson, project manager; Shekinah Hoffman, managing editor) Executive Summary Stakeholders and commentators have long debated the merits and appropriateness of Las Vegas as a host city for a professional sports franchise. These debates have engaged each of the four major U.S. sports, including, perhaps most prominently, the National Football League (NFL), which continues to express concerns about gambling and Las Vegas. This report examines the empirical evidence that confirms or refutes these concerns. Fortunately, many common (and understandable) questions have recently been addressed in the rapidly-emerging scientific literature on gambling impacts. Taken together, the analyses in this report constitute the first comprehensive, objective, and (where possible) scientifically-based assessment of the oft-articulated issues that arise in this context. These kinds of concerns fall under multiple academic categories, and because of this, we have assembled a multi-disciplinary team with approximately 100 years of collective experience in examining these very kinds of gambling-related and Las Vegas-related issues. This team has been retained by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for ongoing analyses and advising, and this report is part of that engagement. This report has been subjected to a peer review (including experts both inside and outside of academe), overseen by an editor of an academic journal with relevant expertise in this field.

  • Chapter 1 ~ Storyline Sampler
    CHAPTER 1 ~ STORYLINE SAMPLER Welcome to our second book. It is our grandiose goal to enticingly engage you in a joyful journey through an amazing array of tantalizing topics. In establishing our objective, we sought to achieve the perfect balance of educating our audience as well as entertaining you. Please prepare yourself for an eye-opening and mind-expanding menagerie of research and revelations upon which we have wantonly worked for the past five years. We are two retired school teachers who have honed our writing skills while composing the full-page feature which comprises the back page of our local paper every week. Just to play around with the numerology piece, we have written about a million words in our collective literary career and we are about to share with you, in this book, what we consider to be our best 50,000. It’s Tim and Deb’s Greatest Hits, so to speak. But we realize that the numbers alone don’t tell the whole tale. In the end it comes down to quality not quantity. Think about it this way. There are a billion people in China. Do you know what that means? If you live in China and you‘re a one-in-a-million kind of guy, there’s a thousand other guys just like you. So in our quest to entertain you, we will not be restrained by the nuances of numerology. We plan to execute an overall style which runs the gamut of emotions. On occasion we hope to move you to tears, but for the most part we’re haranguing for humor With that in mind we hereby offer up a first chapter sampler of what you can expect throughout this book.
