  A.

 the refinement and proliferation of content categories

  B.

 the for-profit business model is rendered obsolete

  C.

 content is less interactive than it used to be

  D.

More Innovations in Radio
• Transistor Radio: With the invention of the transistor, music becomes
portable.
• FM Radio: Edwin Armstrong invents FM which has a much clearer
signal
• Top 40 Formats and Genre Formats: guarantee certain demographics
of listeners. Radio secures target audiences for advertisers.
The Rise of the Top 40 Format
• When radio loses programs and sponsors to television
in the 1950s, it survives by specializing in music.
• Early program innovation was based on studying
jukebox use (which songs were played repeatedly)
• The top 40 format is based on a rotation system
whereby same songs are played several times
throughout the day.
• Radio formats also specialize by genre (country, pop,
classic rock, etc). This format made it easier for
advertisers to locate a target audience based on
assumed personality profiles based on music
preferences.
• Podcasting: Permit flenible
content delivery. Don't have to
listen at the exact time of the
Satellite Radio: More akin to
audio programming than
traditional radio. Digital signals
broadcast over large area from a
satellite. Sirlus acquired XM in
2008.
broadcast. Listeners subscribe to
receive. May bring a more local
feel in communities where local
stations are owned by distant
conglomerates
Radio in the Digital Age
Big Points
• The dilemma for the digital age is how to make a profit when
content is fairly easily accessed for free.
• As with each new format, digital disrupts the traditional
radio business by offering advertisement-free programming.
However, this gradually changes.
• The digital era of music adapts by:
- Advertiser sponsored streaming platforms
- Selling subscriptions to streaming platforms
- Allowing users to personalize their experience and playlists. Further
narrowing genres into ever more smaller categories (which again is
a way to deliver specialized audiences to advertisers).
• TV industry evolves from Radio, using much of the same
programs but tweaking them for a visual medium.
• Radio doesn't go away when faced with competition
from TV; like almost all mediums, it survives by
specializing in content not offered by TV and through
technological adaptations

Broadcasting Defined
Broadcast technology works essentially the same way in both radio and
television. A transmitter sends messages over the electromagnetic
spectrum to a receiver or antenna that translates the message to the
radio or TV. The receiving device then decodes the audio or visual
electromagnetic waves so that it can be seen or heard.
The Birth of the Situation Comedy
• Begins on the radio in the 1920s.
• Most popular show was Amos & Andy.
• Based on the conventions of 19th century minstrel shows which were
performed by white performers in blackface.
• Though many claimed Amos & Andy was racist, NBC argued that it
was liked by both black and white audiences.
• Also helped launch the serial show or later, the soap opera.
Radio's Golden Age
• News, weather, game shows, soap operas, sitcoms and variety
shows are precursors to TV programming. Networks provide
much of the content (shows) that would later be transferred to
television.
Radio Adapts to Competition
• Radio faces competition from TV, the mainstream mass medium of
choice in the 1950s. Gradually, TV would replace radio as the main
distributor of news and entertainment. However, radio didn't just
disappear.
• Like most mediums facing competition, radio adapted through
innovation of formats. Radio gave audiences something they couldn't
get from TV-an ongoing source of music.
