Hicks, Head of Bibliographic Management & Assistant Professor, Roesch Library, University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-1360; [email protected] Introduction Digital is the name of the game in the world of television, video, and radio. Several publications have broadened their scope to accommodate readers’ interests as the development and refinement of digital technologies helps to blur the lines between these three industries. The radio industry continues to explore digital radio signals, satellite radio, and Internet radio broadcasting. Digital video production has become the standard as equipment, software, and technologies become more affordable. As the technologies become increasingly mobile, the possibilities will continue to expand. The number of hand-held devices continues to increase in all three fields, although bigger is often still better when it comes to a TV. The sale of televisions with larger and larger displays continues to dominate the industry. The refinement of digital technolo- gies has brought new players to the TV market; computer companies including HP, Dell, and Gateway have expanded into the TV arena. This migration has made an already full playing field positively crowded since the well-established television manufacturers are still around. The resulting competition benefits the consumer as options expand and prices fall. The field of home entertainment has expanded far beyond the TV, VCR, and stereo system. According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the percentage of U.S. households with home theater systems doubled from 16 to 32 percent between 1998 and 2004. Today’s consumer seeks information about home theater systems, complete with high-performance sound, flat-screen TV, and HDTV. Home entertainment magazines are full of reviews covering an ever-increasing array of products. The DVD is now the media of choice, and it has even helped revolutionize the television industry by influencing the distribu- tion and syndication of programming. Gone are the days of waiting five or more years for your favorite TV show to be reproduced for home viewing. Today, a 961 TELEVISION, VIDEO, AND RADIO show’s last season of episodes often arrives on DVD in time for the new season the latest government regulation news and information on upcoming to start.
