Broadcasting is media programming that focuses on many genres of television. For instance, on a broadcasting channel, you can watch a drama, comedy, and news all in the same day. The three broadcasting networks, known as “The Big 3”, are ABC, NBC, and CBS. When these broadcasting channels present news, they want to stay as close to the middle of the political spectrum as possible. The goal of a broadcasting channel is to appeal to everyone and the more neutral, fact-based information released, the more views “The Big 3” will get, resulting in more money. However, narrowcasting is media programming that is focused on a particular audience. Examples of narrowcasting networks include C-SPAN, ESPN, Fox News, and CNN. ESPN stands for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network so they specialize in sports news and cater to the sports audience. Unlike broadcasting, narrowcasting will not try to appeal to the majority of Americans, so it can lean left or right on political issues and interject slightly more opinions.

While the five major commercial broadcasters in the United States - ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and The CW - are all networks, PBS is not. PBS is a program distributor and broadcaster.

One of the major reasons that Canada needs public broadcasters to enhance democracy is because Canadians are heavily influenced by the media. One of the arguments against this notion is that Canada as a nation has been able to retain democracy before the introduction of media, according to Attallah (2008) there is no need for public broadcasting because democracy was able to thrive prior to the introduction of media (p.1). Attallah, however, has neglected the fact that the Canadian society like every other active society is forever evolving and changing. As we move into an era where the media plays a major role, it is imperative that our way of thinking about the society evolves as well. This means that though the nation was able to thrive without public broadcasting 2000 years ago, this is not the case now.

The CRBC (Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission) was established in 1932 by R.B. Bennett due to the Canadian Broadcasting Act. The name was changed in 1936 to CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). CBC was created to compete with American programs popularity and to support the progress of Canadian Programs. In Canada, multiple broadcasting stations were built so that programs could be seen and/or heard across Canada. This created new jobs for Canadians and by extension, helped our economy. This was very significant and important because during the Great Depression, many jobs weren't available and the CRBC created some.

Imagine sitting on your couch, watching your favorite show on T.V., and all of a sudden, it goes to commercials. Your waiting and waiting and the commercials just don’t stop. It’s been at least 6 minutes and you're wondering why these commercials are so long. When you are watching a show and it says its 1 hour long, it's actually in reality 35 minutes longer because of all the commercials. I believe that T.V should have less commercials.

The belief that journalism is in decline has triggered major alarms, because society needs an informational environment that is easily available to all citizens such as newspapers.

There is also widespread concern that if journalism fails as a profession it will not be able to reach large sections of the community, particularly younger or less educated readers. This may reinforce a growing gap among citizens between the information that they receive.

As television channels in the 1960’s continued to display numerous violence, American comedy, and offensive commercials, television programming offered scanty, enjoyable shows for the general audience. Newton Minow, the Federal Communications Chairman (FCC) from 1961 to 1963, argued for a better quality of television in his “Address to the Broadcasting Industry” to over 2,000 members of the National Association of Broadcasters.
