The study compares and contrasts the strategic approaches of linear broadcasters and streaming service providers, highlighting their distinct and converging tactics in response to shifting audience preferences and technological advancements. We also explore the impact of brand identity on trust establishment, and how programming strategies are influenced by the audience's evolving consumption patterns. The findings illuminate the nuanced interplay between program planning and trustworthiness, offering insights into future trends and underscoring the need for adaptable, audience-centric strategies to pursue sustainable market success in the media industry.

Does Tribe Trump Facts? Novel Measures of Hostile Media

A national panel survey (n = 1,332) oversampled partisans (40% Democrat, 40% Republican, 20% Independent) and exposed them to an experiment showing partisan news sources (Fox News Channel and MSNBC) and partisan content, in a test of hostile media perception. Partisans did not find the news outlets to be hostile but did find out-group content to be hostile. The study also compared partisan cable news with broadcast TV news and found that viewers of traditional broadcast news (both network and local) were more moderate and viewed the news, and news sources, as less hostile. This study is also one of the first to examine the role of emerging social media outlets which have reportedly been embraced on the right, including Parler, Telegram, MeWe, Gab, Gettr, and Rumble.

TV방송과 유튜브의 상대 높임 사용 양상 비교 - 토론 매체에서의 ‘합쇼체/해요체/해체’를 중심으로

This study aims to compare and analyze the usage patterns of relative honorifics in discussion programs on TV broadcasts and individual media platforms like YouTube. The goal is to identify the characteristics of honorific usage in both media and to present various strategic approaches to relative honorifics observed in these contexts. To achieve this, the study will examine actual utterance data from discussion programs on TV broadcasts and YouTube to explore the patterns of honorific usage. Previous research on the usage of honorifics in news media has mostly focused on TV broadcasts, often based on the formal and ritualistic nature of broadcast language. However, with the advent of smartphones and the easy accessibility of YouTube, informal language patterns have become more prevalent. YouTube allows participants to speak freely without the constraints of formal broadcast language, creating new social relationships based on familiarity with the audience. Therefore, this study seeks to provide foundational data on changes in the use of honorifics by comparing the usage patterns observed on YouTube with those in TV broadcast discussion programs. This comparison aims to offer insights into the evolving patterns of honorific usage in broadcast media.

The effect of advertising television broadcast migration on the attitude of television users

Background: This research was motivated by ratifying the Job Creation Law, which was related to implementing television broadcasts in Indonesia, which were initially analogue to digital. This transition has implications for the progress of the digital television broadcast industry in overcoming inefficiencies in the analogue TV broadcasts that have been used so far. Purpose: This study aims to assess how advertising affects viewers’ cognitive, emotional, and conative attitudes as it transitions from analogue to digital TV broadcasts in the media. Method: The research method uses descriptive methods with a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques include distributing questionnaires and conducting literature studies. This research involved 100 respondents who were obtained using the probability sampling technique in the random sampling category. Results: The study’s findings indicate that the use of advertisements to promote the switch from analogue to digital TV broadcasts has a significant impact on the attitudes of television viewers in the Garut Regency with regard to cognition, affect, and conative thinking. These attitudes are demonstrated by the audience’s acceptance of new information or knowledge (cognitive), their feelings of trust following exposure to these advertisements (affective), and their desire to switch to digital TV broadcasts right away (conative). Conclusion: Indicators of advertising exposure through frequency, duration, and attention have a strong influence in influencing audiences, especially cognitive, affective, and conative aspects, where the information provided can provide new perceptions and knowledge for people who constantly see advertising broadcasts transitioning to digital TV broadcasts on television. Implications: The results of this research can provide understanding and insight regarding the transition to digital TV broadcasting and how important information is so that one day, television users who read the results of this research can pay attention to the advertisements shown on television to understand and implement the information they receive.

Discrete mechanical model for nonlinear dynamical analysis of planar guyed towers considering the unilateral contact of cables

Towers are widely used for power line transmission, wind power plants, TV and radio broadcasting, and telecommunications. To enhance their stability, cables are often employed to anchor these towers to the ground. In this study, we investigate the nonlinear static and dynamic responses of a planar guyed tower in which the unilateral constraints on the cables are considered. A representative discrete mechanical model with two degrees of freedom is developed to simulate the central mast of the tower, and the cables are modeled as unilateral springs with linear stiffness. The nonlinear equilibrium equations are derived using an energy approach that incorporates the dissipative forces, total potential, and kinetic energies into the Euler-Lagrange equations. Unilateral cable contact is directly included in the nonlinear equilibrium equation for the guyed tower, allowing for numerical analysis without the need to evaluate the contact point at each time or load step. Several numerical strategies are employed to obtain nonlinear static equilibrium paths, bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, and Poincaré sections. Our analyses provide novel results for the influence of unilateral cable contact in nonlinear static and dynamic analysis, evaluating the effects of unilateral contact and prestressing on the results. A parametric analysis reveals that cable contact affects nonlinear oscillations, bifurcation, and stability. Our numerical results indicate that unilateral cable contact introduces less structural stiffness compared to bilateral contact, thereby significantly affecting the static and dynamic stability of a planar guyed tower. This is evidenced by a decrease in the static limit load and alterations in the bifurcation diagrams, where unilateral contact destroys the trivial solutions, leading to periodic and quasi-periodic solutions at low levels of vertical load.

Relevance of Vernacular in the Contemporary World: Use of Vernacular Languages in the Presidential Debates in Indonesia

Language is the main instrument in the political communications in elections around the world. It has become equally important in the last Indonesian presidential candidate debate. The linguistic aspects of the construction of debates that discuss various themes regarding existential problems in the Indonesian republic has far-reaching consequences. In them, the numerous ethnic groups in Indonesia must be accommodated as much as possible in order to guarantee a sense of national unity. In the contemporary Indonesian political discourse, the sense of national unity is torn apart as a result of Papua being still turbulent with some people trying to separate themselves. In this context, the employment of regional languages in the presidential debate contributes to manifest the politics of language into a reflection of the presidential candidates' ability in recognizing the languages of all the vernacular ethnic groups. This research examines the use of vernacular languages in the presidential debates in Indonesia. The research employs descriptive qualitative research methods. Data source is the recorded text of the 2024 presidential candidate debates obtained from the TV broadcasts. Data collection involved ‘listening’ and note-taking as the techniques. The data analysis technique employed Norman Fairclough's critical discourse theory. The analysis examined the text as a construction of social identity, social relations, and meaning. The results show that in this debate, there has been a strong emphasis on the recognition of social identity of the people of Indonesia. The three regional languages used by the presidential candidate Anies Baswedan in the debate reflect these identities of different ethnic groups: Java, Sunda and Maluku. what Anies highlighted was his efforts to bring about interactions among the ethnic groups. He argued that they must interact with each other to produce Indonesia as a unified nation. Anies has employed the languages to articulate philosophical meanings related to the struggle, nobility, consistency, honesty, wisdom and femininity

Voice-over country? Okay, Boomer. How young viewers are disrupting the AVT landscape in Poland

Poland, historically known as a stronghold of voice-over when it comes to audiovisual translation (AVT), as evidenced by opinion polls of the 1990s and early 2000s, underwent a substantial shift in its AVT landscape with the emergence of streaming services. This paradigm shift not only grants viewers the autonomy to choose what and when to watch, but also enables them to select their preferred AVT type, with many opting against voice-over. This study aims to provide empirical evidence confirming these evolving AVT preferences of Polish viewers. Conducting an online survey of nearly 1300 adult Poles, we explore their AVT preferences and viewing habits across cinemas, television, and streaming platforms. Additionally, we investigate potential genre-related variations in AVT preferences, specifically comparing preferences for dubbing in animation versus live-action content. Our findings show a departure from the traditional preference towards voice-over towards subtitling, particularly prominent among millennials and Generation Z. Young Polish viewers are also increasingly drawn to VOD platforms and away from traditional linear TV broadcasts. Many viewers also express a notable fondness for dubbing in animated productions, especially those nostalgically remembered from childhood.

Memories of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake

Abstract The 17 October 1989 M 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake was the most significant earthquake to impact the San Francisco Bay region since 1906. It occurred 26 min before the scheduled start of the third game of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and their across-the-bay rivals, the Oakland A’s. Those watching the pregame TV broadcasts from north of San Francisco saw the impacts of the strong shaking at Candlestick Park well before the shaking hit them—a clear demonstration of the physics underlying earthquake early warning systems: electromagnetic transmission is about 100,000 times faster than the propagation of seismic waves through the earth. Every earthquake is different, with unique features, and the Loma Prieta earthquake was unique in many respects. This article describes some of those unique aspects from the perspective of the Seismology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey, located in Menlo Park, California, roughly midway between the epicenter and Candlestick Park.

Design of A New Hexagonal Patch Antenna Array

In satellite TV broadcasting, the general public's enthusiasm for this multimedia communication application is unprecedented, and demand is growing all the time. To meet this growing need for satellite reception, future generations of equipment will call for increasingly powerful yet discreet antennas. Our research focused on the design of a 2x1 planar antenna array with hexagonal-shaped patches operating in the Ku-band, basically at the frequency of 11.7 GHz. The original-shaped radiating element is designed using a methodical approach based on printed antenna theory and simulations.

The research on "Text Cohesion Analysis of Prabowo's Speeches in the Election of Presidential Candidates and Vice Presidential Candidates in 2024" examines the forms of lexical cohesion and grammatical cohesion in the context of the 2024 Prabowo Subianto presidential candidate debate text. The descriptive qualitative methodology was used to analyse the data. The data source for this research is the text recording of the 2024 presidential candidate debate sourced from National TV broadcasts and online news outlets on Narasi.tv. Data was collected for this research through the use of the observational method, accompanied by note-taking techniques. The discourse theory-based agih method was utilized for the data analysis. The findings of this research revealed the existence of lexical cohesion and grammatical cohesion in the texts under examination. The grammatical cohesion observed comprises personal referential elements, including singular and plural first person pronouns, demonstrative references in the past tense, substitutions and conjunctions. In contrast, lexical cohesion is observed in only a few instances, such as repetition and synonymy. This article aims to provide a deeper understanding of discourse, particularly with regard to lexical cohesion and grammatical cohesion.

The 2022 Winter Olympics on Russian State TV Channels

Modern television broadcasts the most interesting sports events, not only promoting sports but also influencing social values in favor of active physical education. Owing to the interaction of the International Olympic Committee and television, the Olympic Games have become the main sporting event in the world. Nowadays, television is the major source of material wellbeing for the Olympic movement. Television is one of the key partners of sports, providing its financing through the purchase of broadcasting rights and through the sponsors’ television advertising. The further development of any sport entirely depends on television, which adapted sports competitions to its modern requirements at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. But there is also a negative point in mutually beneficial cooperation: television creates a hierarchy, at the top of which are the most popular sports in a particular country. The purpose of the study is to analyze TV broadcasts of the 2022 Winter Olympics on public Russian television channels and determine the most popular winter sports among Russians.

Redefining the Communication Dynamics in Bolsonaro’s Brazil: Media Consumption and Political Preferences

In this article, we contend that understanding Brazil’s current communicative landscape requires a closer examination of the relevance of legacy media outlets, challenging the widely accepted “traditional media bypass” thesis, which posits that social media platforms have overtaken traditional media as the primary influencers of political discourse, an argument often used to explain the rise of extreme-right ideologies across different national contexts. In order to test the association between voting preferences and the use of different types of media, we employ logistic regression analysis using data from a recent survey that includes numerous questions about the information and media consumption habits of Brazilian voters. Our findings highlight that legacy media, particularly broadcast TV channels like Globo, Record, and SBT, remain dominant in Brazil as sources of political information. Contrary to the bypass thesis, Bolsonaro’s supporters, while favoring social media, also consume significant amounts of legacy media. Analysis reveals stark differences in media preferences between the supporters of different political candidates, challenging the notion of an exclusive reliance on social media by right-wing supporters. The data also indicate nuanced media consumption habits, such as a preference for certain TV channels and fact-checking behaviors, underscoring the complex interplay between legacy and social media.

An ANALYSIS OF DVB-T2 TV BROADCAST TESTING DRIVE TEST AND FIELD STRENGTH METHODS IN THE JAKARTA SERVICE AREA

Indonesia has adopted DVB-T2 as the technology standard for terrestrial digital television broadcasting. This research aims to test and analyze the reception quality of DVB-T2 TV broadcasts in the DKI Jakarta service area. The research was conducted using drive test and field strength methods to test and evaluate the quality of digital television broadcasts. Tests were conducted in various locations in the DKI Jakarta service area using the Gsertel Hexylon TV Analyzer technical device to test DVB-T2 TV broadcast signals. The field strength test results were more accurate and higher values were generated than the drive test. Several parameters such as signal level and MER are evaluated and analyzed to find out what affects their values. The transmitter parameter settings such as modulation, FEC code rate, FFT Mode, Guard Interval, and Pilot Pattern greatly affect the signal level and MER values. The optimization performed on CH 24 also managed to maintain its signal level value of 18.19 dB and its MER of 55.01 dBµV to maintain broadcast stability during a technical failure of the transmitter on CH 1.

Background music monitoring framework and dataset for TV broadcast audio

AbstractMusic identification is widely regarded as a solved problem for music searching in quiet environments, but its performance tends to degrade in TV broadcast audio owing to the presence of dialogue or sound effects. In addition, constructing an accurate dataset for measuring the performance of background music monitoring in TV broadcast audio is challenging. We propose a framework for monitoring background music by automatic identification and introduce a background music cue sheet. The framework comprises three main components: music identification, music–speech separation, and music detection. In addition, we introduce the Cue‐K‐Drama dataset, which includes reference songs, audio tracks from 60 episodes of five Korean TV drama series, and corresponding cue sheets that provide the start and end timestamps of background music. Experimental results on the constructed and existing datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework, which incorporates music identification with music–speech separation and music detection, effectively enhances TV broadcast audio monitoring.

Korean Lip-Reading: Data Construction and Sentence-Level Lip-Reading

Lip-reading is the task of inferring the speaker’s utterance from silent video based on learning of lip movements. It is very challenging due to the inherent ambiguities present in the lip movement such as different characters that produce the same lip appearances. Recent advances in deep learning models such as Transformer and Temporal Convolutional Network have led to improve the performance of lip-reading. However, most previous works deal with English lip-reading which has limitations in directly applying to Korean lip-reading, and moreover, there is no a large scale Korean lip-reading dataset. In this paper, we introduce the first large-scale Korean lip-reading dataset with more than 120 k utterances collected from TV broadcasts containing news, documentary and drama. We also present a preprocessing method which uniformly extracts a facial region of interest and propose a transformer-based model based on grapheme unit for sentence-level Korean lip-reading. We demonstrate that our dataset and model are appropriate for Korean lip-reading through statistics of the dataset and experimental results.

Evaluating The Real Cost Digital and Social Media Campaign: Longitudinal Effects of Campaign Exposure on E-cigarette Beliefs.

Over the past decade, youth e-cigarette use has risen exponentially. At the same time, digital media use increased markedly while the use of traditional broadcast TV declined. In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's The Real Cost public education campaign shifted to communicating the harms of e-cigarette via primarily digital and social platforms. This study evaluated longitudinal associations between exposure to campaign advertisements and changes in campaign-specific beliefs among US youth. A nationally representative longitudinal cohort of youth (aged 11-16 years at baseline) was surveyed five times. Building on earlier work, we analyzed data from the last three waves (April-July 2020; January-April 2021; and August-October 2021; N = 2625). We assessed self-reported exposure to six ads and agreement with 11 beliefs that were each targeted by one or more ads. Eleven weighted panel regression models assessed whether ad exposure predicted changes in campaign-specific beliefs over time. We observed significant associations between ad exposure and increases in at least one campaign-specific belief for five of the six ads. Across the 11 beliefs, we observed associations between increased exposure and increases in 6 beliefs related to e-cigarettes and toxic metals, lung damage, dangerous ingredients, anxiety, cigarette use, and disappointing important people. We found evidence that self-reported exposure to this digital and social media campaign was successful at influencing youth, providing support for the effectiveness of the campaign's adaption to address youth's changes in tobacco and media use habits. The Food and Drug Administration's The Real Cost public education campaign educates youth about the dangers of e-cigarette use. This study evaluates longitudinal associations between exposure to The Real Cost's advertisements and changes in campaign-specific beliefs among youth. Considering evolving trends in youth media consumption, the campaign adapted its media approach to increase delivery across digital and social media platforms. Our findings indicate that the campaign reached its intended audience and increased youth beliefs around the harm of e-cigarettes and the consequences of e-cigarette use, offering evidence for the effectiveness of digital and social media youth prevention efforts within a fragmented digital environment.

Delirium is not dementia: Delirium Awareness Day-related event at the University Hospital in Krakow.

To present the two-day Delirium Awareness Day-related event held at the University Hospital, Kraków, Poland. Activities included a lecture, a multimedia presentation, meetings with healthcare workers at their respective wards, and distribution of information posters about delirium. Local news outlets were also engaged. We reached out to approximately 300 persons in the hospital itself and several thousand via TV and radio broadcasts. We prompted interdisciplinary discussions about delirium, especially concerning preventive measures. The most common questions were how to alleviate symptoms as soon as possible, with the expectation of straightforward solutions for the non-geriatrician staff. Patient distress and burden on caregivers were important topics brought-up in the discussions. We demonstrated that our educational initiative was feasible and well-accepted among medical staff. Local media helped in building public understanding of delirium. Education about the syndrome should be one of the key societal tasks of geriatricians.

Evaluation of TV White Space Implementation in Indonesia: A Case Study in Yogyakarta

TV white space is a technology that utilizes unused spectrum owned by primary users, namely TV broadcasters in a particular area and time. There are two main problems related to the use of white space, namely protection of primary users and identification of white space channels. The prohibited, strict, moderate, and loose (PSML) method has previously been proposed, dividing the TV protection area into four zones to model the white space system. Researchers generally use additional protection areas and television coverage areas with a location probability of less than 70% to consider the possibility of overlap between white space and protected areas. However, this method has not been in implementation in the field. In this study, the author implemented the PSML method in the city of Yogyakarta by using the coverage area of TVRI Patuk as a sample. Based on the measurement results, the author discovered that the deviation between the simulation results and the measurement results was 7.32 dB or 1.82 dB higher than ITU’s recommendation. This deviation indicates that, based on geographical conditions, Yogyakarta has a higher variation in field strength values than ITU’s recommendations.
