	Switching Channels
		They would like to arrange the timing of programmes so viewers can switch channels without missing the end of one programme or the beginning of another.
		Since many viewers watch the news, they would be less likely to watch a CPN programme whose ending time causes them to miss the beginning of the news, or which starts before the news finishes.
		A ``miss" time is the absolute value of the difference between the time of an alignment point and the nearest time of the beginning or end of a programme.

	Harvard University Press: Switching Channels : Organization and Change in TV Broadcasting by Richard E. Caves
		Harvard University Press: Switching Channels : Organization and Change in TV Broadcasting by Richard E. Caves
		It is this question, at the crux of American popular culture, that Switching Channels explores.
		Richard Caves examines the economics of this phenomenon--and the nature and logic of the broadcast networks' response to the incursion of cable TV, especially the shift to inexpensive unscripted game and "reality" shows and "news" magazines.

	Switching Technologies for Future Guided Wave Optical Networks
		Switching is based on connections set up by user signaling, and routing is connectionless switching of datagrams (a datagram is a packet routed independent of other packets from the same source).
		The demultiplexing in a switch separates the channels of an input link and routes them to their destined outputs, where they are multiplexed with channels coming from other inputs (or vice versa for a shared-medium switch).
		The wavelength channels are then routed in the space switch either to output fiber combiners, where they are merged with other wavelength channels for subsequent amplification in line-fiber amplifiers, or to the electronic layer.

	A Deterministic, Relevance-Weighted, Time-Division Algorithm for Television Channel Switching
		It is meant to show simply that an efficient algorithm based on integer operations can allow the viewer to adjust his or her evaluation of channels' relevance while keeping basic constraints of channel switching in place.
		Relevance-weighted switching algorithms may prove useful not only in adding value to viewer experiences with television programs, but in providing models for other decisions that users have to make throughout their day in allocating time to information, tasks, and personal interactions.
		Indeed, the challenge of switching at appropriate times and of viewing televisions segments with the highest subjective relevancy ratings often seem to be of more interest to viewers than the television shows themselves.

	Movie Reviews (Christopher Reeve Homepage)
		Switching Channels is a box office comedy based on the 1920's Broadway play, The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles Mac Arthur about journalism of the printed kind, before computers became available.
		For Switching Channels the play was updated for the 80's where typewriters have been replaced by satellite dishes and cable TV channels.
		However the delayed filming of Jaws IV meant that Caine would not be finished in time for the start of the shooting schedule for Switching Channels, and the role was given to Reynolds.

	‘Switching Channels’ (PG)
		In "Switching Channels," Satellite News Network news director Burt Reynolds is told by his ratings-crazy boss to feature more fires on the evening news and more rapes, more murders.
		"Switching Channels" may have plot elements in common with Howard Hawks' "Girl Friday," but not the magic.
		In "Channels," that old big-city joinalism becomes TV journalism, as the image of wiseguy newspapermen chainsmoking their cynical lives away fades to the 1980s airhead TV reporter, too busy with eye-liner to worry about reality.

	Switching Channels \| The American Prospect
		One of the ways in which conservatives have (if I may) outfoxed liberals on the question of media is that conservatives have turned to the private sector for relief and liberals to the public.
		This is exactly the right time for some liberal multimillionaire or -aires to try to start a cable channel.
		But far from being some act of charity, such a channel could prove that progressive ideas can actually survive in the private market and turn a profit.

	Switching Channels
		This study tests how people differentiate between television channels, conceptualized as having two important properties: Channels differ in degree of specialized content and are positioned within arrays varying in size.
		News on specialist channels was rated higher on news attributes and evaluated more positively than identical news on generalist channels.
		This pattern of results is consistent with the notion of channel as a place where television programs-and the people and action in them-exist.

		Virtual channels were originally introduced to solve the deadlock avoidance problem, but they can be also used to improve network latency and throughput.
		Given a directed graph G and routing algorithm R, then the channel dependency graph for G and R, CDG(G,R), is a digraph D such that V(D)=E(G) and E(D) is the set of all pairs of adjacent channels used by routing algorithm R.

	Multiprotocol label switching price quotes and free consultation!
		Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) utilizes major advancements in technology to establish secure private communication channels, for the transfer of data, over shared networks, such as private intranets or the public internet.
		For multiple location networks, or two location networks which you know will increase in number of locations, multiprotocol label switching can be far more functional, and far less expensive than a network comprised of point-to-point lines.
		In most cases, full T1 or DS3 MPLS networks are provided with all needed hardware and installation, configuration and management of the network by the provider for about the same cost, or just slightly more, per location, than managed internet service.

		In the channel mixer I can assign 100% of the Blue channel to Green, and reduce the Green contribution to the Green channel to zero, effectivly replacing Green with Blue.

		Just as improved phone support has reduced the need for over-the-counter transactions — of which Wodonga was servicing up to 4500 monthly two years ago and now averages just 1700 — e-mail promises to reduce the volume of phone enquiries councils have to answer.
		Managing these channels, however, presents its own challenges: e-mail volumes, in particular, have a tendency to increase exponentially, something that departments the world over have learned most dramatically after being flooded with so many e-mails that CSRs simply could not keep up.
		Long the venue of thumb-happy teenagers and profit-minded competition operators, SMS is gaining currency as a legitimate means of communicating information that might normally have required a call to a contact centre.

		and caring team of psychoanalysts (at this point in the review, a woman bemoans the lack of supportable theses in favor of the war in Iraq.) Yes, and if you could make it through "Switching Channels" then I guess it's the same prescription all over again.
		What the other reviewer didn't understand is that these are supposed to be caricatures of real people and situations - not an actual behind the scenes look at a 24HR news channel.
