Radio Broadcasting** The invention of radio began with the telegraph. As the first technological advancement that made long distance communication possible, its popularity at the time cannot be overstated. Despite its accomplishments, telegraphic communication was limited. Another great invention was that of Alexander Graham Bell, called the telephone These two revolutionized long distance communication. Since it requires complex wires and cables to set up, access to these innovations remained limited. The printed word still remained as the most conducive medium of communication. Experts aimed to abolish the limitations of the telegraph wire. Among the earliest breakthrough is credited to an Italian inventor named Guglielmo Marconi. He transmitted a message, which was picked up without any need for wired connection. He had demonstrated that it is possible to cast an electronic signal to space so that it can be captured at random points without the necessity of wires. In doing so, the age of broadcasting began. Initially, radio has been further developed to aid in communication of the military. Since it has broken the boundaries set by wires, radio has gone farther than any communication medium has gone before. It became a necessity for ships and naval fleets. Its strategic applications in the military made it a powerful tool during the First World War. When the war ended in the year 1918, the Golden Age of radio began. Many manufacturing companies saw opportunities in mass marketing home radio receivers for casual use. The first ever commercially owned radio station was KDKA owned by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation of Pittsburgh. They were the first to use radio for entertainment to entice the public in purchasing home radio receivers. Other manufacturers soon followed Westinghouse\'s example. Among the most notable of which was the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) who was the frist to broadcast paid advertisements on its stations, A practice that still persists in today's radio. **b. TV Broadcasting** Unlike the radio, the invention of television was initially prompted by commercialism. The earliest notable development was that of German inventor Paul Nipko, where he was able to successfully transmit an image in 1884. Further developments to Nipko\'smechanical system known as the rotating disk was made by several other experts from all over the world. The earliest U.S. patent for an all-electronic television system was granted in 1927 to Philo T. Farnsworth, who transmitted a picture of a U.S. dollar sign with his so-called image dissector tube in the laboratories of the Philadelphia Storage Battery Company (Philco). Meanwhile, the three communications technology powerhouses-General Electric, Westinghouse, and RCA- cooperated and pooled their resources together in the development of TV. The 1930s began the age of TV broadcasting to the public. As early as 1935, the BBC initiated experimental television broadcasts in London for several hours each day. I hat same year CBS hired American theater, film, and radio critic Gilbert Seldes as a consultant to its television programming development project. RCA unveiled televistion to the American public in grand style at the 1939 New York World\'s Fair, with live coverage of the Fair\'s opening ceremonies featuring a speech by President Roosevelt. Daily telecasts were made from the RCA pavilion at the Fair. Visitors were invited given the opportunity to walk in of the television cameras and see themselves on monitors. World War II halted developments to Television in the United States. When the war ended, the popularity of the TV began to gain traction. TV networks began broadcasting simultaneously to different regions. Viewing choices, however, was limited. Non-commercial stations mostly aired educational programs. Commercial independent stations broadcasted reruns. Despite the rise in television stations, and its growing reach to American homes from the 1960s, viewing choices remained scarce. This scarcity ended when TV networks offered to transmit programs by cable to paying subscribers-cable television- started in the 1980s. A decade later the number of stations increased from 600 to 1040 commercial and public stations reaching 98% of homes in the United States. **[Characteristics of Broadcast Media]** Though both are considered broadcast media, radio and television differ in terms of the broadcast features or attributes. Radio is a tool that uses voice, sound, and music. These three are called elements of radio. Because it lacks visual elements, producers of information in radio bank on these three elements to attract attention and convey the message. *Generally, there are tuo types of radio format in terms frequency.* 1\. AM (Amplitude Modulated) radio 2\. FM(Frequency Modulation) radio *AM radio offers variety stations that feature different program formats.* 1\. Dramatic Programs 2\. Non-dramatic Programs a\. News and commentary b\. Talk show c\. Counseling d\. Educational e\. Informative
