AM - ANS-(amplitude modulation) type of radio and sound transmission that stresses
the height or volume of radio waves
broadcasting - ANS-transmission of radio waves or TV signals to a broad public
audience
CBS - ANS--challenged NBC
-William Paley
Communication Act of 1934 - ANS-the far-reaching act that established the FCC and
the federal regulatory structure for U.S broadcasting
Edwin Armstrong - ANS--first discovered and developed FM radio
FM - ANS--(frequency modulation) type of radio and sound transmission that offers
static-less reception, and greater fidelity and clarity than AM radio
-accentuates the pitch or distance between radio waves
format radio - ANS--the concept of radio stations developing and playing specific styles
(or formats) geared to listeners' age, race, or gender
-controlled by management rather than deejays
Guglielmo Marconi - ANS--Italian electrical engineer known as the father of radio
(1874-1937)
-sent the first radio waves across the Atlantic in 1901.
-patent on wireless telegraphy: voiceless point-to-point communication
HD radio - ANS--digital technology that enables AM and FM radio broadcasters to
multicast 2-3 additional compressed digital signals within their analog frequency
-CD quality sound, provides program info
Heinrich Hertz - ANS-German physicist who was the first to produce electromagnetic
waves artificially (1857-1894)
Lee De Forest - ANS-United States electrical engineer who in 1907 patented the first
triode vacuum tube, which made it possible to detect and amplify radio waves
(1873-1961)
