A Short-Term Forecasting Method for High-Frequency Broadcast MUF Based on LSTM

This paper proposes a short-term forecasting method for high-frequency broadcast Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to meet the demand for refined and precise high-frequency broadcast coverage. Based on the existing infrastructure of broadcast and television stations, we established an experimental verification system to collect data for approximately three years. Two links were selected based on data quality: Urumqi to Lhasa and Lanzhou to Lhasa. A short-term forecast of MUF was conducted using the data from these two links. Comparison and analysis were conducted between the forecasting results of our model and those of the REC533 model. Our proposed method outperforms the REC533 forecasting results overall, with a reduction in root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.66 MHz and an improvement in forecast accuracy of 14.77%. The comparison result demonstrates the feasibility and accuracy of our model.

A Study on the People's Character of Chinese TV Drama in the New Era

With the arrival of the new era, the creation of TV dramas should keep up with the pace of the times, and fully reflect the expression of the people's character based on the creative concept of putting the people at the center under the premise of the needs of the times. As a mainstream media, television stations should adhere to the principle of people-orientation when creating television literature and art. It is not only a basic principle that local broadcasting and television stations need to follow, but also a mission and responsibility that the media needs to undertake. Therefore, TV drama directors should actively create TV dramas that are truly close to the masses, society, and life, fully reflecting the influence of a "cultural power".

Duncan Tanner Essay Prize Winner 2023: A 'High Quality' Deal: The Business of British Comedy Television in Australia, 1960-90.

Historians of the late British empire often cite the 1960s and 1970s as a turning point in Commonwealth nationalisms, when British sentiment abroad was in major decline. This article investigates one exception to that phenomenon: Australians' continued appreciation for British television, especially British comedy television. While other historians have seen this as a symptom of 'cultural imperialism', this article argues that Australian stations purchased British comedies for complex commercial reasons that extended beyond imperial sentiment. Australian and British television stations worked together to bring British television programmes to Australia. Public and private British stations sold Australians programmes to finance their domestic activities, claiming their products were uniquely 'high quality'. Australian stations borrowed British language of 'high quality' to describe these programmes, a rhetoric which filtered through to how Australian viewers described their television preferences. Combining international business records with viewers' opinions, this article demonstrates the role media firms could play in positively framing consumers' attitudes to Britain even in the post-imperial era.

Received signal evaluation for Ultra High Frequency (UHF)terrestrial television; Case of Ekiti State, Nigeria

This paper presents the evaluation of the received signal for UHF channel 41, (transmitting frequency of 631.25 MHz) and Star-times (transmitting frequency of 618 MHz). Using a Digital Field Strength Meter, the signal strength from the two UHF Transmitting Stations was measured throughout the state along two routes. The elevation, geographic coordinates, and line of sight of the various data points from the base stations were determined using a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. Regression analysis and correlation were used in the signal assessment process. Analysis of the data collected from the field measurements indicated that as line of sight increases signal strength reduces along all the routes for Ekiti Television (EKTV) and Star-times except along Route B for Star-times. Line of Sight and Elevation have a strong negative connection in almost all routes except along route A for star-times. Elevation and Signal strength correlation indicated negatively very high except for that along route B for EKTV and route A for Star-times. Regression analysis revealed that variance in Line of Sight and Elevation accounted for high significant changes in signal strength for EKTV and consistently very high changes for Star-times. Generally, it was observed that distance from the base station, topography/elevation, power of the transmitter, nature of signal (Digital/Analog) as shown for regression analysis and other factors affected the quality of service of the propagated signal. Terrestrial Television stations should ensure they transmit with the standard parameters. To improve service quality, the transition from analog to digital should be accelerated in Nigeria such that most stations transmit via the standard Digital method of transmission.

Journalistic Professionalism in a Time of Paradoxes: Ntv Online and “Alternative Voice” in Bangladesh

ABSTRACT This article explores the specific work mechanisms journalists use to promote the ideology of good and independent journalism at the online news services of Ntv station in Bangladesh. Along with the journalistic scholarships on issues of heightened state surveillance on broadcast and online communications by the hybrid regime and its relation to broader questions of how dissidents and alternative voices struggle to gain visibility in the context of media freedom and democracy in Bangladesh, the theoretical framework of the political economy of communication and concepts of alternative voice are employed in this study. It scrutinizes the implications of state control measures upon journalistic praxis and examines how journalists at Ntv Online – a digital section of this television station, perceive the “alternative voice” to become the place for public deliberation. Built on field-based case study research and in-depth interviews with reporters and editors at Ntv Online, this study reveals that Ntv Online is materializing the concept of “alternative voice” by opening up access to media production. This is empowering those who are involved in news-making processes. At a professional level, this study aimed to contribute to the online news-making process while capturing the experiences of conflict and challenges journalists face.

Post-Pandemic Hiring Practices and Skills Requested by Local U.S. TV Stations

ABSTRACT Job ads are meant to capture the daily responsibilities of the position, as well as let candidates know the skills and qualities the right candidate for the job needs to demonstrate from the employer’s perspective. While Aupperle and Grzeslo (2020) studied job ads of legacy media stations, Deavours and Grzeslo (2020) were among the first to explore local broadcast television station job ads. Yet, after the “Great Resignation” following the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as recent technology and business model changes, researchers need to continue to update and monitor the rapidly evolving needs of local newsrooms. This study seeks to provide insight through a content analysis of job postings from U.S. local television stations, exploring the experience, skills, and experience requirements necessary to be competitive in today’s market, while also looking at how companies are working harder to attract talent. Using the theoretical lens of skills theory of leadership, the study also provides insight in hiring differences in station ownership, market size, and position type. Through content analysis of 349 job ads from 21 local news Designated Market Areas, findings suggest the field is embracing more convergent, digital reporting tactics, while still emphasizing the foundations of broadcast writing and visual storytelling. However, some of the most dramatic shifts in the industry toward innovation, emerging media, digital legal and ethical skills, and diversity are not reflected in job ads, creating little guidance for individuals and educators on how to prepare for an ever-changing job market.

An understanding of Nigerian television mobile news applications and associate news locations

Mobile applications are already part of the contemporary news experience, which increasingly includes the convergent mobile application news content of conventional media, such as television stations. Impressively, the experience of such convergences has spread to include developing nations, including Nigeria. However, despite the enormous digital device and media penetrations in the country, little research has been done in order to understand the nature of such television stations’ mobile application news. With regards to the foregoing, and the importance of associated news locations, this content analysis research has been conducted and has found serious correlation between ownership type and television application news content. While Africa is the dominant proximate news locations of the prominent Nigerian television mobile application news studied, the news spread categories are largely similar across all mobile application news content.

Television in the Republic of Moldova: a decade of transformation (1988 – 1998)

The initial years of this decade marked the transition from totalitarianism to democracy. During this time, the pluralism of opinions, the establishment of a multiparty system, and the embrace of freedom of expression became legally recognized realities, even within the remnants of Soviet society. This shift laid the foundation for the emergence of independent journalism. Following the Republic of Moldova, s declaration of sovereignty in 1990 and its subsequent independence in 1991, significant changes took place. State Television evolved into National Television, introducing programs that addressed pressing societal issues. However, after 1993, there were noticeable regressions. The media landscape began reverting to some of its former practices, such as increasing the number of broadcasts that solely highlighted the activities of state bodies. These reports often lacked diverse perspectives, echoing the onesided narratives of the totalitarian era. By the close of the decade, funding for television was slashed, leading to a reduction in broadcast hours (to as few as 6 hours daily). This limited coverage hindered a comprehensive discussion of the myriad challenges facing society.

Television Webcast Framing of Banditry in Nigeria

How mass media discuss contemporary issues of insecurity issues has been of concern in media studies. Consequently, this study analysed the television webcast framing of banditry in Nigeria over four years (2019-2022) from the YouTube webcast channels of Channels Television, Television Continental, and Arise News. This study was anchored on agenda-setting and framing theories. The study used a content analysis research method, 200 banditry-related videos were systematically sampled and analysed using a validated coding sheet. Data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the presentation of banditry issues on Channels and TVC was brief compared to Arise News. It also revealed that bandit attacks and Government security agencies' efforts were the dominant issues, and conflict and human-interest frames were the prominent news frames used to present banditry issues across the three selected stations. Consequently, findings support tenets of agenda-setting and framing theories. It is recommended that television stations increase the patterns and depth of their coverage, as well as the news frames used to present banditry issues.
