From the Paper
"Cable television in Canada has had a history of slow growth, with an increase in subscribers in recent years. One reason for this is the advent of digital services and the increased possibility of offering computer services along with television services, suggesting that high-speed Internet is more appealing than cable television. According to a recent newspaper article, the number of cable TV subscribers increased by 0.4 per cent to 7.6 million as of Aug. 31, 2004, and this was seen as a clear improvement after four consecutive years of declines (McLean B1)."

From the Paper
"In 1984, Congress passed the Cable Communications Policy Act. This Act called for the deregulation of the cable television industry in America. However, instead of encouraging competition within the industry, deregulation enabled local cable companies to establish monopolies around the country. As a result of this lack of competition, cable rates went up and service quality went down. Recently, there have been arguments in favor of re-regulating the cable industry. These arguments call for laws which would reduce the ability of new cable companies to hold exclusive contracts with local governments. This would lead to increased competition as well as increased benefits to consumers. In contrast with consumer opinion, the cable industry is opposed to reregulation. According to industry arguments, deregulation has been responsible for better quality... "

From the Paper
"Television as a medium and as a business has changed greatly with the advent of cable delivery of television programs, and cablecasting (as it is called) has developed with new suppliers and new distributors in addition to the major studios and syndicators that have always supplied programs in some fashion. The development of cable television occurred at the same time as the federal government, through legal action, dismantled the telephone monopoly of the Bell Telephone system in the United States, and though the wiring of homes for cable followed the same path as telephone lines in most cases, the telephone companies have been precluded from entering this business by law. The reason for such law was to assure that there would be competition in the cable industry and that the new cable delivery systems..."

Abstract
The paper relates that telephone companies in the US can now compete directly with cable television companies, which in turn will be able to offer more telephone services as well. The paper describes how each company's essential monopoly is now being challenged. The paper discusses the change in behavioral thinking that must be implemented in the cable companies to take advantage of new possibilities, but to also maintain the core television business.
From the Paper
"Today's IT company faces issues in terms of its organizational behavior both from within and without, with the major internal issue often being personnel development, while changes in the competitive environment constitute a major issue from outside the company itself. Consider the problems facing the average Internet provider today, given that the competitive environment is opening up to new entrants so that the environment is changing rapidly. The issue is being framed in California today as the state implements a change in the law to allow competition among Internet providers, cable providers, and the telephone companies. In the past, telephone services were one type of service, cable television another, and Internet services still another."

Abstract
This paper looks at one particular piece of the changing technology puzzle ?the ways in which cable television has become increasingly sophisticated through the incorporation of a number of different types of technology. Specifically, this paper focuses on the efforts of Comcast to become the nation?s leading cable television outlet, in part through its acquisition last year of the telephone company AT&T.
From the Paper
"While most of us probably still think of cable and telephone service as being distinct from each other, in fact over the past decade they have become more and similar to each other as entertainment and information services like cable television have come to rely more and more heavily on the transmission capabilities of phone lines ? and as phone companies have become more and more diverse in the technological capabilities that they have to offer."

With specific articles that uncover this issue, the premise of sports in America, through the medium of broadcasting, can be made clear.

American Television in the 1980s, 2004.
This paper discusses the problems of American television in the 1980s, television's cultural history, the postmodern television consumer culture as explored in DeLillo?s ?White Noise? and Wallace?s ?Girl with Curious Hair", and television sports.

Abstract
This paper explains that the decade of the 1980s is seen as the explosion of television culture in terms of the proliferation of networks and the availability of programming through the cable. The author points out that Wallace and DeLillo are both concerned with postmodern characters that are absent internal selves, or rather, characters that seem to be informed of behavior primarily through the use of television. The author believes that sports on television now seems to be as dysfunctional as the nuclear family: a series of different schedules with a lot of hype, dreams or delusions of grandeur, with no meaningful connection to the simple love of the game.

From the Paper
"The FCC continued to be the regulating body that determined what would be permissible for the American public to view. However, the Reagan administration that preached supply-side economics, believed that deregulation was the best method of growing the economy given the many slow-downs that dominated the 1970?s. ?For FCC chairman (Reagan appointee) [Mark] Fowler, the only kind of regulation that was legitimate came from the market itself, and he made this clear to gleeful industry executives from his earliest days in office? (Steyer 137). Fowler also acknowledged that such regulation should be at the hands of media and broadcasting executives because they had first hand knowledge of what Americans really wanted to see. Ironically, it seemed that the Reagan administration passively promoted a liberal media that looked for alternative methods of programming even though the business executives would assess its effectiveness and its decency."

Abstract
This paper discusses digital television, comparing it to analog television. The paper presents an explanation and assessment of the current laws and mandates regarding digital television in America and in the United Kingdom. The paper explores the technology involved and provides examples of several cable companies that offer digital television.
From the Paper
"Though some providers of digital television like Sky claim that weather conditions do not affect the clarity of images on digital television, this fact has been demonstrated as not being true. Weather does affect digital images and there is a certain amount of corruption present. In fact, though the images are better than those of analogous television, the limitations of the compression technology that is used for digital television is apparent in the manner in which ?digital artifacts? or ?after images? as they are better known occur on the television when the picture changes much too fast, or even when other channels are fighting for the same bandwidth at the same time. Digital television must not be confused with ?high definition? television; in fact digital television occupies the same number of lines of 625, as the analogous television."

Abstract
This paper examines the main stages of the invention and development of the television set. It looks at how the birth of television was the result of several inventions from several different men and started back around 1872 during what is called the "Mechanical TV Era" when the first series of images were viewed in one continuous string using a stroboscopic disc. It follows its development through the world's first public demonstration of a mechanical television apparatus in 1926 and the advent of color television in the 1950's to the digital television of today and its convergence with computers.
From the Paper
"In 1963 Instant replay is invented and introduced into televised sports, adding a new dimension when it's featured in a telecast of an Army-Navy football game. In 1964, it becomes a standard technique and goes on to become controversial in the NFL. FCC issues its first cable regulation: Operators are required to black out programming that comes in from distant markets and duplicates a local market station's own programming, if the local station demands it. There are about 1 million homes wired for cable in the U.S. at the time. In 1965 Color TV becomes an every day appearance as NBC leads the way and begins to use the phrase ?The Full Color Network" By the end of the year, 96% of NBC shows are broadcast in color, along with all major programs, sports events, and specials. In 1968 TV manufacturers turn out 11.4 million new TV sets, up from 5.7 million TV sets that were made in 1960. "

From the Paper
"According to data from the Nielsen Media Research, children aged 16 and younger have, on average, spent more time watching television than going to school. Preschoolers spend an average of nearly 30 hours a week watching television. Communications scholar Susan Witt suggests that children spend more time watching television than they spend on anything else except sleeping (Witt). Given that figure, it should be no surprise that most children will form their first durable ideas about gender roles based on images from television."

Abstract
This paper examines Fox Television Network and compares it to the three major networks in broadcast television, ABC, CBS and NBC. This network has produced a number of shows that have made television history. The paper looks at the history behind the formation of the network in 1986 by Rupert Murdoch, whose intention was to form an independent television network to compete with the three major networks, and the story behind its success. The paper also discusses Rupert Murdoch's background and his media company, Fox Corporation. Criticisms of Fox News Network and the Fox News Channel are also mentioned. The paper concludes that the network has a reach almost as great as the other three networks in terms of the amount of the country served and is certainly ahead of the smaller networks.
From the Paper
" The Fox Television Network is often simply referred to as Fox, and the company and related companies are owned by the Fox Entertainment Group as part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. The network was launched in 1986 and has produced and shown a number of series since that time. The network took a long time to achieve sufficient standing to be considered a threat to the three major networks, meaning ABC, CBS, and NBC. Since the launch of Fox, two other national broadcast networks have been launched, UPN and the WB, or Warner Bros. Network. These companies are competing for audience and advertisers at the same time as broadcast television is losing audience to cable and other media, and many are uncertain of how long broadcast television will continue in its present form or what form it might take in the future."
