1. Does Public Radio Compete with Commercial Radio?
- en2.wikipedia.org
- Does Public Radio Compete with Commercial Radio? .
- The radio holds a fond position in contemporary American culture. According to NBER Research Associate Steven Berry and Faculty Research Fellow Joel Waldfogel: "Radio signals are pure public goods whose total value to society is the sum of their value to advertisers and listeners. " In Public Radio In The United States: Does It Correct For Market Failure Or Cannibalize Commercial Stations? (NBER Working Paper No. 6057), they note that since broadcasters can capture only part of their product as revenue, there are reasons to doubt that the market will provide the right amount of radio broadcasting. Hence, radio is a rich context for revisiting the classic economic problem of under provision. ...
- The radio business in the United States clearly is dominated by commercial broadcasters. But the private sector competes with government-supported public radio in a limited number of programming formats: news, jazz, and classical music. In this study, the authors ask: Do public and commercial classical stations compete for listening share and revenue? And, is public radio filling an unmet need, or is it crowding out commercial providers?.
- Their data on commercial stations primarily comes from the Arbitron Company and Duncan's American Radio. Their information on public radio comes from five sources, including the Radio Research Consortium, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and National Public Radio. ...
- Berry and Waldfogel take great care to emphasize that their research doesn't address whether public funding of radio is wasteful or whether the government should allocate less money toward public broadcasting. ...

- Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. ... Radio waves do more than just bring music to your radio. ...
- Cellular phones also use radio waves to transmit information. These waves are much smaller that TV and FM radio waves. ...
- Why are antennae on cell phones smaller than antennae on your radio? .
- How do we "see" using Radio Waves?.
- These long waves are in the radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum. ...
- Because radio waves are larger than optical waves, radio telescopes work differently than telescopes that we use for visible > light (optical telescopes). Radio telescopes are dishes made out of conducting metal that reflect radio waves to a focus point. Because the wavelengths of radio light are so large, a radio telescope must be physically larger than an optical telescope to be able to make images of comparable clarity. For example, the Parkes radio telescope, which has a dish 64 meters wide, cannot give us any clearer an image than a small backyard telescope! .
- In order to make better and more clear (or higher resolution) radio images, radio astronomers often combine several smaller telescopes, or receiving dishes, into an array. ...
- The Very Large Array (VLA) is one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories. ...
- The structure of those interference patterns, and how they change with time as the earth rotates, reflect the structure of radio sources in the sky. ...

- Radio programming.
- Radio broadcasts have been a popular entertainment since the 1910s though popularity has declined some since television became widespread. ...
- In the early radio age, content typically included a balance of comedy, drama, news, music, news and sports reporting. US radio programmes included the most famous Hollywood talent of the day. ...
- In the late 1940s and early 1950s, television eroded the popularity of most of these type of radio shows, and by the late 1950s radio broadcasting took on much the form it has today - strongly focused on music, news and sports (though comedy and dramatic content can still be found). ...
- In Britain during the 1950s, radio broadcasting was dominated entirely by the BBC. Rock and pop music fans, dissatisfied with the BBC's output, often listened to Radio Luxembourg. During the post-1964 period, western Europe offshore radio (such as Radio Caroline broadcasting from ships at anchor or abandoned forts) helped to supply the demand for the pop and rock music. The BBC launched their own pop music station, BBC Radio 1 in 1967. ...
- There has been a recent resurgence of interest in what is now called old-time radio or the "Golden Age of Radio," with surviving shows being traded and collected in reel-to-reel, cassette, CD and MP3 format. ...

- Radio telescope.
- In contrast to an "ordinary" telescope, which produces visible light images, a radio telescope "sees" radio waves emitted by radio sources, typically by means of a large parabolic ("dish") antenna, or arrays of them. ...
- The Parkes 64 metre radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia (the bigger of the two shown).
- The best-known (and largest) radio telescope is the Arecibo radio telescope located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Another well-known radio telescope is the Very Large Array (VLA), in Socorro, New Mexico. The largest radio telescope in Europe is the 100 metre diameter antenna in Effelsberg, Germany. A typical size of the single antenna of a radio telescope is 25 meter, dozens of radio telescopes with comparable sizes are operated in radio observatories all over the world. ...
- The sub-field of astronomy related to observations made through radio telescopes is known as radio astronomy. ...
- Many celestial objects, such as pulsars or active galaxies (like quasars), produce radio-frequency radiation and so are best "visible" or even only visible in the radio region of electromagnetic spectrum. By examining the frequency, power and timing of radio emissions from these objects, astronomers can improve our understanding of the Universe .
- Radio telescopes are also occasionally involved in SETI and tracking space probes (see Deep Space Network). ...

- Radio astronomy.
- Radio astronomy is the study of celestial phenomena through measurement of the characteristics of radio waves emitted by physical processes occurring in space. Radio waves are much longer than light waves. In order to receive good signals, radio astronomy requires large antennas. Radio astronomy is a relatively new field of astronomical research. ...
- He announced that he received extraterrestrial radio signals. ... The scientific community did not believe him, primarily because research of cosmic signals did not exist (what is known today as radio astronomy), and the community of science rejected Tesla's data. ...
- One of the earliest modern investigations into extraterrestrial sources of radio waves were by Karl Guthe Jansky, an engineer with Bell Telephone Laboratories, in the early 1930s. ... After World War II, substantial improvements in radio astronomy technology were made by astronomers in Europe and the United States, and the field of radio astronomy began to blossom. ...
- Radio astronomy has led to substantial increases in astronomical knowledge, particularly with the discovery of several classes of new objects, including pulsars, quasars and radio galaxies. ...
- Radio astronomy is also partly responsible for the idea that dark matter is an important component of our universe; radio measurements of the rotation of galaxies suggest that there is much more mass in galaxies than has been directly observed (see Vera Rubin. And the cosmic microwave background radiation was first detected using radio telescopes. However, radio telescopes have also been used to investigate objects much closer to home, including observations of the Sun and solar activity, and radar mapping of the planets. ...
- The United States government has established an institution to conduct radio astornomy research, titled NRAO, or National Radio Astronomy Observatory. This institution controls various radio telescopes around the United States included the world's largest fully mobile radio telescope, the GBT. The United States government has also set aside a national radio quiet zone for radio astronomy research centered around Green Bank, West Virginia. ...
