Japanese media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Japan, as with most countries, there are television and radio networks. For the most part, television networks were established based on the capital contribution from existing radio networks at that time. Since around 70% of the country's terrain is mountainous, transmitting TV and radio signals proves to be a large challenge. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Japanese_media   (927 words)

Chapter 9: Radio and Television, 1905-1970 The radio serial, often rather risqué by prevailing social standards, was a staple of programming, and popular serials were the main tools commercial radio stations used to maximise their market share and hence their advertising revenue in pre-television days. The Macquarie Radio Network and the Channel 7 television network had intimate financial links, and these were reflected in their programming, with shows hosted by the radio stars of the time like Jack Davey, Bob Dyer and John Dease appearing on both radio and television. By 1961, television had been extended to 33 country areas, and although the government supported the growth and influence of the commercial stations, it was a firm policy that regional stations were to be owned by regional interests, generally the local press. www.ahc.gov.au /publications/national-stories/transport/chapter9.html   (8562 words)

Kensin Himura Other types of films include compilation movies, which are television episodes edited together and presented in theaters for various reasons, and are hence a concentrated form of a television serial. Television series are generally low quality compared to OVA (Original Video Animation) and film titles, because the production budget is spread out over many episodes rather than a single film or a short series. Decisive Battle It should be noted that typically the drawing style used in anime is counter productive to the animation process, having far too many details and subsequently making it difficult to keep the number of drawings comparable to other cartoons with design ethics that stress simplicity. kensin.himura.en.reference.pl   (7682 words)

Radio & Music - Superman Homepage Though the Superman television series continues in syndication to this day, budget restraints and primitive special effects prevented the series from reaching the imaginative levels of epic adventure that were commonplace on the radio series. In the earliest days of the radio serial, Lois Lane was portrayed by Rollie Bester and Helen Choate, before Joan Alexander made the role her own for the remainder of the run. Suspended from wires on a sound stage, Superman was never able to fly as high on television as he had for an adventure-filled decade in radio's theater of the imagination. www.supermanhomepage.com /radio/radio.php?topic=r-radio   (3542 words)

Jonny Quest - Psychology Central Jonny Quest was designed to evoke both the drama of a dramatic adventure radio serial, and the fantasy of a comic book. Other notable inspirations for Jonny Quest come from Milton Caniff’s adventure comic strip Terry and the Pirates (which was also a popular radio show), and the James Bond film Dr. Jonny Quest (often referred to as The Adventures of Jonny Quest) was a science fiction American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, and created and designed by comic book artist Doug Wildey, about the adventures of a young boy who accompanies his father on extraordinary adventures. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Jonny_Quest   (1707 words)

Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : Thrilling Days of Yesteryear I posted a heads-up about an upcoming DVD release of the 1940 Columbia serial Terry and the Pirates (based on the radio show and comic strip by Milton Caniff) to the Old-Time Radio Digest a day or two ago, and Martin Grams, Jr. Anyone who has a copy of this serial can easily play a chapter and realize that what they are listening to is a dubbed sound track with added sound effects and dialogue. The end result was that the negative was damaged and very little of the serial surfaced in the form of mm reels. blogs.salon.com /0003139/2004/05/20.html   (1707 words)

SUPERMAN ON RADIO! Rollie Bester and Helen Choate portrayed Lois Lane in the earliest days of the radio serial before Joan Alexander made the role her own for the remainder of the run. Collyer's masterful portrayal of Clark and Superman served as an inspiration for Kirk Alyn 's performance of the roles in the 1948 and 1950 Columbia movie serials. However, the world-famous opening originated not in the four-color pages of the comic books, but on the long-running adventure serial that was one of the hallmarks of the Golden Age of Radio. superman.ws /fos/thescreen/radio   (1707 words)

Serial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The television serial format as we know it today actually originated in radio, in the form of daily 15-minute programs known as soap operas (so-called because many of these shows were sponsored by soap companies, such as Colgate-Palmolive and Procter and Gamble), and children's adventure shows. Serials were especially popular with children, and for many youths in the first half of the 20th century, a typical Saturday at the movies included a chapter of at least one serial, along with cartoons, newsreels, and two feature films. As the serials were bought sight-unseen by the lesser theaters for an audience of children, their product often had the worst acting and scripts, the least capable direction, and the most monotonous music ever screened: worse than any film that got reviewed in print. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Serial   (2997 words)

ipedia.com: Soap opera Article The American soap opera The Guiding Light started as a radio drama in January 1937 and subsequently transferred to television. The term "soap opera" originated from the fact that when these serial dramas were aired on daytime radio, the commercials aired during the shows were largely aimed at housewives. This specific type of radio drama came to be associated with these particular commercials, and this gave rise to the term "soap opera" — a melodramatic story that aired commercials for soap products. www.ipedia.com /soap_opera.html   (1049 words)

St George Online :: Doctor Who - Invasion of the Dinosaurs The Jon Pertwee and (pre John Nathan-Turner) Tom Baker eras are my favorites in Doctor Who: I love the charm of the hand-puppet dinosaurs, the way the painted-canvas sets shake when Jon Pertwee slams doors, the Gallifreyian technology that looks like it was made with parts from Radio Shack. The puppet dinosaurs give this serial its' bad reputation.

Lexington Institute It is inconceivable that a private sector investor would pour over $20 million annually into an enterprise that has no discernible television audience, a small and declining radio audience, serial failures to exercise sound news judgment on major stories, and an inability to adhere to broadcast quality standards over a period of years.

CBC Television Series 1952 to 1982, R - Rea In fact, the serialized adventures of explorer Pierre Esprit Radisson were generally thought a response to the Disney series, with all the attendant merchandising and publicity. The program also appeared on U.S. television on a syndicated basis, and in the February 1962 issue of Canadian Business, it was touted to have returned more than a million dollars in foreign sales, to rank as the country's highest earning television show in the export market. The British born John Lucarotti, who had written CBC radio series on Robin Hood and Marco Polo, was contracted to write the series at a price of three hundred dollars per half-hour script for the right to run the shows once on each station in the CBC network. www.film.queensu.ca /CBC/R.html   (327 words)

Irish television drama in the 1960s Television did nothing, however, to change his fundamental aesthetic, which was declaredly romantic and escapist.ll He had no time for the social realist, documentary style of drama that was having its day on British television. Drama tended to draw primarily from theatre in its first years, although strands of influence from literature, radio and cinema, both domestic and foreign, were also in evidence. Television drama could hardly be blamed for representing women in this way, if this were how in fact the vast majority of women tended to be, a line of defence for which a reasonable case could be made. www.comms.dcu.ie /sheehanh/60s-itvd.htm   (327 words)

Superman Homepage Though Fleischer Studios asserted in the first serial that they would be using the 'Daily Planet,' the comic to radio confusion led them to be vague as to the name and character of its editor. The Daily Planet reports that a jewel exhibit will be showing rare treasures to the public, and that precautions have been taken to guard them against the, "mechanical monster." At the exhibit, Clark is inspecting them when Lois greets him. The Bulleteers read in the Daily Planet that their demands shall not be met, so they go out in their rocket and destroy a power plant, shutting down power in the city. www.supermanhomepage.com /movies/movies.php?topic=m-fleis2   (327 words)

Detective Programs Ellery Queen, an American Sherlock Holmes, first appearing in a cycle of popular novels beginning in 1929, appears on radio a decade later in a long-running weekly program, and on television in 1950 in a live series, The Adventures of Ellery Queen (1950-51, Dumont; 1951-52, ABC). Detective programs have been a permanent presence on American television, and one way to understand them is to recognize that--like their more numerous siblings, the police shows--their development enacts in miniature many aspects of the larger history of the medium as a whole. Like the police series that appear in the same "late" period of the network era, Rockford is something of a hybrid, combining elements of comedy and the daytime continuing serial with the private eye format. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/D/htmlD/detectivepro/detectivepro.htm   (666 words)
