broadcastingThe transmission of sound and vision programs by radio and television. In the USA, broadcasting licenses are issued to public organizations and competing commercial companies by the Federal Communications Commission. In Britain, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a centralized body appointed by the state and responsible to Parliament, but with policy and program content not controlled by the state; in Japan, which ranks next to the USA in the number of television sets owned, there is a semigovernmental radio and television broadcasting corporation (NHK) and numerous private television companies. Television broadcasting entered a new era with the introduction of high-powered communications satellites in the 1980s. The signals broadcast by these satellites are sufficiently strong to be picked up by a small dish aerial located, for example, on the roof of a house. Direct broadcast by satellite thus became a feasible alternative to land-based television services. See also cable television. A similar revolution is taking place as digital television becomes widely available.
