Distribution methods

 

Analogue broadcast

Analogue broadcasting in radio is the transmission of waves that convey data and voice to radios. It works by radio waves carry energy as an invisible, up-and-down movement of electricity. They radio waves travel along the ocean waves. This carries program signals from huge transmitter antennas, which are connected to the radio station, to the smaller antenna on your radio set. However the radio station that I have been studying does not use this form of distribution.

Digital broadcast

This form of broadcasting uses digital signals rather than analog signals to broadcast over radio frequency. Digital broadcasting is audio broadcasting in which analog audio is converted into a digital signal and transmitted on an assigned channel in the AM or (more usually) FM frequency range. The radio station that I have been studying does not use this form of distribution.

Satellite/terrestrial TV channels

Satellite TV channels is a communications satellite that is in the earths orbit which is directed to the viewers locations. The people who receive the satellites channel they use an outdoor antenna and a low-noise block download converter. Terrestrial TV channels is a type of television broadcasting in which the television signal is transmitted via radio waves. The radio station that I have been studying does not use the type of distribution.

Internet

This is a from of distribution that radio stations have been using to distribute and reach a large audience. They use the from of broadcasting called streaming which is a a form of audio and video streaming, is when a media file can be played back without having to download or record. This is the form of distribution that the radio station that I have been studying uses. They use this form of distrubtion in order to appeal to there target audience and so that they can listen back to their previous shows. They use apps as another way of distributing their radio station which allows them to connect with their audience.
