  • Data, Doppler, or Depth of Knowledge: How Do Television Stations Differentiate Local Weather?
    Atlantic Journal of Communication, 2010
    Co-Authors: George L Daniels, Ginger Miller Loggins
    Abstract:

    Although weather coverage has never received extensive research, previous studies have investigated the importance of weather to viewers and to Television station branding. In addition, such individual features of weather reports like accuracy have been investigated, but no researcher has apparently examined the overall content of day-to-day local televised weathercasts. This content analysis of weathercasts in five medium to large Southern U.S. markets sheds light on the ways Stations differentiate themselves through their weathercasts' content. It found that so many Stations use radar or claims of accuracy to differentiate themselves that the techniques do not result in product differentiation. Other methods, by themselves or combined with accuracy and radar, may better differentiate weathercasts.

  • Conceptualizing Continuous Coverage: A Strategic Model for Wall-to-Wall Local Television Weather Broadcasts
    Journal of Applied Communication Research, 2007
    Co-Authors: George L Daniels, Ginger Miller Loggins
    Abstract:

    The 2005 hurricane season provided unprecedented opportunities for local Television Stations to serve the public interest in live, often commercial-free, coverage of severe weather. In this examination of four local Television Stations’ coverage of four Atlantic hurricanes in two Southeastern markets, observed patterns of behavior culminated in the development of the Local Weather Continuous Coverage Model. The study showed that unlike their cable news counterparts, local Television news continuous coverage prioritizes weather personnel over live, on-the-scene news reporting. Of all the weather tools used, radar was the most frequently used, followed by watch and warning graphics.

  • as a hundred Television formats bloom a thousand Television Stations contend
    Creative Industries Faculty, 2002
    Co-Authors: Michael Keane
    Abstract:

    This paper looks at the growing trend towards Television format adaptation as an industry development strategy in China. As China's Television industry professionals imagine a commercial future, this vision is tempered by the reality of a deficit of quality content. Program schedules exhibit limited variety and are dominated by cheap variety show formats, royal court Television dramas, game shows, and news. In search of new ways to stimulate audiences, producers have looked outside China to formats successful in Taiwan, SAR Hong Kong, Japan, Europe and the U.S. The localization of foreign programs represents a more useful experiment for China’s domestic industry than the importation of finished programs. Unlike finished programs the format can be 'filled' with culturally specific content, and where licensed co-productions ensue there is potential for added value in terms of technology transfer. I argue, however, that the strategy of format adaptation is a short-term solution to program development that is unlikely to stimulate a creative media-based economy.

  • A survey of Television meteorologists about their sources for and understanding of pollen counts
    Annals of Allergy Asthma & Immunology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Dorothy A. Frenz, Alpa M Goswami, Laura W. Murray, Naomi L Lince
    Abstract:

    Background Pollen counts are widely used by Television Stations in news programming but little is known about the sources for and quality of this information. Objective The purpose of this investigation was to survey Television meteorologists about their sources for pollen counts and to assess their general understanding of these data. Methods Sixty-seven meteorologists employed by Television Stations in the nation's 20 largest Designated Market Areas (DMAs) were contacted by telephone. A brief survey was administered verbally and their responses were recorded. Results Thirty-seven meteorologists indicated that their station used pollen counts in news programming. Most were aware of their Stations' source for this information and reported that viewers contacted them about the pollen count. Few meteorologists, however, knew the type of instrument that was used to obtain pollen samples they aired and only 10 selected the correct definition of a pollen count from a list of three choices. Conclusions Pollen counts are an important element in Television news programming that are poorly understood by the meteorologists who present them to the public. Allergists are encouraged to better educate the personnel at Stations to which they supply pollen counts.
