Description

How are TV shows developed? Why did your favorite TV show get cancelled? Why do commercial radio commercial radio stations repeat the same songs over and over? What's the difference between cable content and broadcast TV content? How has podcasting, satellite radio, and You Tube impacted the media industry? These are the types of questions we address in T343. The goal of this course is to introduce students to telecommunication program planning, development, and selection, as well as scheduling strategies utilized by radio and television stations, networks, cable systems, and syndication. We will also discuss how recent technologies (the web, digital television, satellite radio, etc.) have impacted traditional telecommunication programming.
