Old-time radio

In 1970, the FCC adopted its prohibition of cross-media ownership between FM radio stations and television stations within the same market. The FCC under the Nixon Administration prohibited newspaper cross ownership of radio or television stations (Yanich, 2014). When the Commission adopted the rule, it grandfathered newspaper/broadcast combinations in many markets, forcing dispossession only in highly…

later evolved. From Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb to Johann Gutenberg inventing the printing press. However, the invention of radio has caused the most impact for society as it provided society with easier communication and later on entertainment alongside with access to information. Guliemlo Maroni the Italian man who is credited as the inventor of radio. Marconi read a biography from Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist who proved the theory of electromagnetic waves to which Marconi…

Polarization in Antenna Polarization is the basic thing used in transmission antennas for the propagation and reception of the signals. As we know that antenna emits electromagnetic waves in the space for the communication purposes. These two types of waves as depicted by the name Electro-Magnetic is a combination of electrical and magnetics fields. These two waves are mutually orthogonal i.e. oriented at an angle of 90o with each other. The general wave form is given as Fig: Electromagnetic…

Invention of the Telegraph The telegraph is one of the inventions that started long distance communication. To begin with, Samuel Morse came up with the marvelous idea of this invention. However, he did have a competitor by the name of Charles Wheatstone. The original telegraph was developed in the 1830s. It was tested and updated through a number of years from when it was invented. It’s actually quite impressive how this whole system was developed. According to ‘Morse Code and the Telegraph’…

three of the five most recognizable conglomerates were Walt Disney, AOL/Time-Warner, and the News Corporation. These 3 conglomerates held control of many, if not all, of the most prominent media outlets in 2002. Media diversity has long been a problem especially via the radio. Media diversity is the misrepresentation of minorities and the constant same media being given to the public. For example, listening to multiple radio stations and they are playing the same music over and over. This is a…

Rogers Wireless, briefly known as Cantel Inc., is a Canadian wireless telephone company that was founded by Ted Rogers, Philippe de Gaspé Beaubien and the Belzberg family in 1985 (4). It is the only wholly owned national wireless network in Canada and is owned by Rogers Communications Inc. (3). It remains as Canada’s largest voice and data telecommunications service provider and only national carrier that operates on a combined global standard GSM/HSPA+/LTE technology platforms (1). It is also…

1. Doppler radar systems provide information about the movement and position of targets. They work by sending a beam of electromagnetic waves at a specific frequency, at a moving object. When a microwave bounces off the object, its wavelength shifts as the object moves (this is known as the Doppler effect). The radar detects the shift and calculates how fast the object is traveling, along with it's location. 2. Polarized sunglasses block reflected light (glare). Since polarized light waves…

Making Life a Little Extra One Stick at a Time Often times people find themselves going home after a long day of school or work and relaxing on the couch, turning on the television to our favorite show. In the United States, Americans watch an average of five hours of television a day.
