In the modern world, it’s hard to find a family that doesn’t own a TV. In the United Kingdom, the number of children watching TV is higher than in any other European countries (Daily Mail, no date). Children watch about five hours of TV a day in the UK, whereas in other continental countries, children spend only two hours in front of the TV (ibid). The reasons why children watch so much TV are that there is nothing to keep children occupied in their living area and that parents are afraid of…

more than five hours of live TV every day. Children aged 2-11 watch over 24 hours of TV per week, while adults aged 35-49 watch more than 33(http://www.nydailynews.com). Television was made to entertain people like the radio did. People use to sit around and listen to the radio to listen to their sitcoms and next big thing was to allow them to not only listen, but to watch them as well. Also television was made so people can feel up to date with events. Ever since television was made, it…

Every sporting league has many options on how to present games to their audience; however, there are two genres that have become standard: television and radio. Each of these mediums have certain well-established conventions which work to effectively present the games to their respective audiences. Some of these conventions are shared by both genres, such as yelling to amplify excitement, and describing the game in detail to bring it to life for those watching or listening from home. But, there…

“A Nation of Vidiots” is a synopsis of the growing consumption of televised programming within the United States and throughout the rest of the world. Jeffrey Sachs is the author of this writing; and in the writing the author goes into not only the consumption of television, but also the issues that said consumption is causing. Jeffrey Sachs states in this writing “in the 1950’s, fewer that 8% of American households owned a TV, but by 1960, 90% of homes had one” (441). Sachs talks about the fact…

of owning a radio. It was the cutting edge in technology. You could connect to people sitting far away but without any messy cables to trip over. It was a dream that was out of my reach. But years passed and that dream became reality and the many hours I spent tinkering with it, the many hours of pure enjoyment that I have experienced, has become but grains in the hourglass of time for I cannot bring it back. Just as how I cannot bring my radio back. For time has passed, and the radio has become…

The radio was created through the invention of radio waves which are electromagnetic waves that have been created to transmit different forms of media across the air. Radio waves were first created in the 1800’s which lead to the radio telegraph which was used in the last 1800’s and early 1900’s primarily for military communication. The first speech over radio waves was transmitted in 1915 across the United States. The first FM radio was created in 1933 which helped improve the technology and…

One company that I previously interned for and would be interested in pursuing a career at is WGBH, a radio and television facility located in the Brighton suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. The first thing I wanted to know is what the call letters WGBH stand for. After some research I discovered that the “W” – indicates that the station is located east of the Mississippi River (a “K” is used for stations to the west) and “GBH” - stands for Great Blue Hill (named for the blue hue of the granite…

In the beginning of the 19th century, cities were growing and railroads were expanding, but people couldn't send or receive messages in a short amount of time. One example of how news and messages were transmitted was the Pony Express. There were some electrical communications, but they were either too slow or too complicated. Railroads were helping expand the country quickly, they were connecting cities to each other, but there needed to be some form of communication to pass messages throughout…

One comparison that I would like to note, is the way the radio is portrayed throughout the movie. There are several scenes throughout the entire movie where a radio was used. One specific scene is towards the end of the movie, where Red Pollard is not able to race because of his injuries. Instead, he gets to hear the entire race, in detail, while listening to his radio (Ross, 1:40). All throughout the movie, there are scenes similar to this one. Whether it was families listening to a broadcast,…
