Informative Radio Models in Brazil: The All-News Networks

This study analyzes the particularities of Brazilian radio networks that adopt the all-news format and briefly presents the main national and international experiences for the implementation of the model and its conceptualization. Besides the bibliographic review, we use the multiple-case study, analyzing as the empirical objects CBN and BandNews FM networks. Also, we apply methodological procedures of systematic non-participant observation, supplemented by interviews and surveys. We conclude that the different all-news programming models and network organizations influence the processes of production, information structure, broadcasting language, and therefore the stations' profile.

我国有线电视网络产业化现状研究

国家广电总局副局长张海涛曾不无遗憾地说:20年来,广电部门宣传改革、支持改革、享受改革带来的成果,但是自身并没有大的改革;全国的市场经济框架已经建立了,广电部门却依然游离于改革之外。如果说多年来碍于各种原因,广电改制呈胶着     

Direct Competition in Cable Television Delivery: A Case Study of Paragould,Arkansas

In this study I explored the effects of the development of direct competition in the delivery of cable services to a small Arkansas city. The emergence of competition produced lower prices, better customer service, increased choices in programming, and technological improvements as the market structure moved from monopoly to duopoly and achieved an equilibrium in which each service company serves a 50% market share. Because neither firm is producing a profit under the current situation, I argue that in the long-run the competitors may switch to oligopolistic pricing behavior and focus on nonprice competition in an effort to achieve profitability.

Willingness to Pay for Public Television and the Advent of "Look-Alike" Cable Television Channels: A Case Study

In this case study we examine willingness to pay (WTP) for PBS using an open-ended, single-question contingent valuation method. Using data collected from 128 mail and 101 telephone surveys, we develop illustrative findings with respect to 'look-alike' cable television on WTP for PBS. Inverse demand equations were estimated. Statistically significant effects were found in models estimated with both biased and adjusted data using ordinary least squares, restricted least squares, and Tobit censored regression methods.     

A critique of Korean National Information Strategy: Case of national information infrastructures

In 2004, the Korean government launched the IT839 project with the objective of converting Korea into a ubiquitous information society. This study investigates the role of the Korean government in the development of the national information infrastructure and the realization of IT839 vision. This paper reviews the historic and individual data related to the infrastructure project, draws on the social construction of technology theory as a framework for interpreting such data, traces the transformations and translation of this data in the public, political, and social discourse, and discusses the next generation of information infrastructure. Findings imply that despite optimistic prospects and proactive drive, uncertainty still remains with respect to where IT839 will evolve and how it will impact the new information milieu.

Exploring a Free Association Methodology to Capture and Differentiate Abstract Media Brand Associations: A Study of Three Cable News Networks

Brand equity theory asserts that the most powerful and enduring consumer-based brand associations are those that deal with intangible or abstract characteristics of a product rather than its functional or utilitarian attributes. In addition, strong brands evoke from consumers associations that are differentiated readily from direct competitors. This study explores the feasibility of using a free association methodology to capture and differentiate systematically abstract media brand associations. Using 3 24-hr cable news networks as an exploratory case study, the findings were encouraging, prompting the recommendation that such a technique can be a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating 1 aspect of media brand equity.
