Abstract
Discusses funding issues of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Impact of the increase of corporate funding to replace cuts in government funding. Problem of continued viewer financial support. Makeup & budget of PBS. Response of Presidental administrations to funding public broadcasting. Canadian system.
From the Paper
"In order for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Public Broadcasting System to survive and flourish as they have for the last three decades, the issue of funding is of vital importance. Recent efforts by political enemies of PBS to cut funding have forced the issues of government funding and of alternative funding methods onto the national agenda. PBS has responded by considering different ways of bringing in revenues to replace government funding in case such funding is cut. One of the ways being explored is increased corporate funding, even to the point of showing commercials on public television. This challenges the way PBS has always operated, raises questions about continuing viewer support, and might remove the appearance of independence that has marked the network since its inception. To date, PBS has not gone so far as to sell commercials as..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the increasing commercialization of public broadcasting. In recent years, public broadcasters have significantly expanded the scope of donor and underwriting acknowledgments. This expanded scope means that promotional slogans and even corporate logos may be aired. The result is that many of public broadcasting?s underwriting announcements are virtually indistinguishable from commercials. The paper rejects suggestions that allowing limited commercial advertisements to penetrate public broadcasting might alleviate the serious funding strains public broadcasting faces.
From the Paper
"The controversy surrounding American public broadcasting?s increasing commercialization has reached deafening proportions in recent years. Although the Federal Communications Act of 1934 uniformly prohibits noncommercial broadcasters from airing advertisements promoting any specific product or service, the interpretation of that guideline has over many years been stretched significantly as a result of several Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rulings. Public broadcasting?s enhanced underwriter announcements increasingly mimic commercial broadcast advertisements. However, allowing public broadcast stations to sell traditional commercial advertisements in any way would greatly undermine the goals and spirit of the American public broadcasting system. While some funding alternatives have been suggested, a concrete and sustainable remedy for the long-term financial health of the U.S. public broadcasting system has yet to be realized."

Abstract
In this essay, the author first examines the term 'public service broadcasting', and what it is understood to mean today. The paper then moves to an examination of the concept of national identity and a consideration of the relevance and value of having a sense of national identity. Finally, the paper takes a look at globalization and digitization, the effects that they can have on national identity, and the role that public service broadcasting can play in countering some of these effects. A website article on the public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom is appended to the paper.
From the Paper
"On its surface, 'digitalisation; refers to the move from analogue modes of representation - such as AM radio or 35mm film - to digitised formats, where information is stored in a series of 'bits' (binary digits) and recreated according to pre-defined algorithms (examples include DAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting - or the storage of text items on computer, using the ASCII standard). However, when used in reference to the mass media, the term has a more specific, and one could say complex, meaning. The development of new forms of digital communications technology, leveraging ever more powerful computing resources, is leading to what is termed the "information age""

Abstract
This paper looks at how, due to recent efforts by political enemies of PBS to cut funding, it has forced the issues of government funding and of alternative funding methods onto the national agenda. It explains that PBS has responded by considering different ways of bringing in revenues to replace government funding in case such funding is cut. One of the ways being explored is increased corporate funding, even to the point of showing commercials on public television. The paper explains that this challenges the way PBS has always operated, raises questions about continuing viewer support and might remove the appearance of independence that has marked the network since its inception.
From the Paper
"To date, PBS has not gone so far as to sell commercials as the broadcast networks have done for decades and as some cable networks do. For a long time, though, PBS has had corporate funding, which meant no more than that the corporation paid for the programming and received a credit in the form of "Funding Provided By" or "Funded By," followed by the name of the corporation. Even this degree of corporate involvement raised a few eyebrows--corporations might fund programs on subjects of particular interest to them and so might be suspected of having brought pressure to shape the program one way or another. An increase in corporate sponsorship or even outright advertising such as has been contemplated more recently would only increase the perception of corporate interference."

Abstract
In recent years we have witnessed a considerable amount of change, which has had an impact on the role of regulators in the broadcasting industry. Included in this is the development of the global marketplace as well as the rise of new forms of technology and media, such as the Internet, which can make regulation difficult if not impossible. This, of course, has raised the question of whether or not there is any role for regulation in this new and evolving environment. The purpose of this paper will be to examine these issues in light of this specific case of government regulation. This analysis will include an outline of the reasons why the government has intervened, the form of intervention, the results of intervention, as well as whether or not an alternative policy might be preferable.

Abstract
This essay discusses how economists and other critics of Canada's traditional broadcasting policies have questioned government policies such as Canadian content quotas for television. They have argued that regulations have created government failures, including the protection of the interests of cable companies and the producers of poor quality shows that few people want to watch. The essay points out that this is true, but that there are legitimate reasons for Canadian public broadcasting.

From the Paper
"The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the government-operated television and radio system in Canada, a form of public broadcasting analogous to PBS and NPR in the United States and to the dual services of the BBC in Great Britain. The system in Canada has been developed both to provide service to regions of the vast country that otherwise might not be served, to provide specialized services to specialized populations, and overall to project a positive sense of what it is to be a Canadian. The latter element is in part derived from a continuing concern about the power of the American broadcast media and American culture in general, and the desire for protecting Canadian culture and for promoting Canadian content is very much an element in the operation of the CBC in all of its ramifications. An analysis..."

"THE ROLE OF CBC IN THE CANADIAN BROADCASTING SYSTEM
This research examines the role of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in the Canadian broadcasting system. The emphasis in this research is on the role of CBC Television (CBC-TV) within the television segment of the broadcasting system.
Public broadcasting in Canada is documented as beginning in May 1920. The CBC was established on November 2, 1936 by an act of Parliament. The CBC succeeded the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), Canada?s first public broadcasting agency, which was established in 1932. The CBC began television operations in 1952. CBC-TV first broadcast in color in 1966.
The advent of television in 1952 resulted in the appointment of a Royal Commission to examine broadcasting in Canada. Since its inception, the CBC had been responsible for both public .."

The once very large world is much smaller due to broadcasting advances and news that took days and even weeks or months to make the rounds is now heard simultaneously throughout the entire globe. Certainly broadcasting on an international basis has propelled globalization and just may have even given birth to the global society in existence today."

From the Paper
"Although I am still a teenager, I have been fascinated with the fields of broadcasting and communication for as long as I can remember. It was as a freshman and sophomore in High School that I first studied television broadcasting as an academic subject; gaining knowledge of the range of television programming while also acquiring hands-on experience at live video production and post-production editing techniques. Later, as a participant in the Advanced Television Production course - a class recommended for those interested in careers in communications - I had the opportunity to work as a camera operator, video editor, writer and talent director. I am particularly proud that some of my packages, montages, and remotes were selected for broadcast on the school's morning announcements, as well as for air on the local cable channel."

Abstract
The paper examines the lengthy past of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and how it established itself as an industry leader in the 1930s and beyond. The paper looks at the business organization of CBS; its organizational style, its ability to put money into projects that yield long-term gains, and its policy of advancing women and minorities. The paper concludes that few broadcasting organizations seem better situated to be successful in the long-term than CBS.
From the Paper
"For the purposes of context, it is appropriate to begin first with the history of the Columbia Broadcasting Corporation. Suffice it to say, through its many ups - and a few "downs" - CBS has enjoyed a most eventful history. The company began in 1928 when William S. Paley acquired one-year-old United Independent Broadcasters Inc. and changed its name to the Columbia Broadcasting System. Three years later, CBS began regular television broadcasts from an experimental station located in New York called W2XAB. Two years after that, Columbia News Service was opened and, in 1936, the signing of "Major Bowes and the Original Amateur Hour" signified that CBS was for real - and unafraid to "raid" talent from rival NBC (Leigh, C1)."

Abstract
This paper explains some of the reasoning behind the growth of digital television is that it allows potential access to the Internet, online shopping, and e-mail. The author points out that many people believe mistakenly that digital technology is something very new, but they forget that smaller digital items, such as watches, have been around for quite some time. The paper reports that many individuals in the UK would like to have digital television, but the individuals, who are not interested in the service, are not interested in the additional services, such as the Internet, and are concerned about the cost of television programming and the types of channels and variety of entertainment they would be able to receive for free without having to purchase a subscription.

From the Paper
'This chapter will look at many of the findings from a survey conducted in 2001 which will tie into the information in the literature review and serve to give a complete picture of what is happening with the digital television market and why. The study mentioned in the methodology section in chapter three provided many individuals with a great deal of information. Not only did many of the authors in the literature review either rely on or refer to information that was gained in this study, but the government utilized this study as well so that they could determine the answers to some of the more pressing questions about individual's television preferences and whether they would be willing to switch to digital television without an argument.'
