What is this course all about?


Introduction to broadcasting is an introductory course that will introduce you to Radio
and Television as broadcasting media.
You will study broadcasting terminologies, basics of production and various issues
related to broadcast media, in this course.
What is broadcasting?
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or video signals which transmit programs to
an audience. The audience may be the general public or a relatively large sub-audience,
such as children or young adults. Broadcasting to a very narrow range of audience is
called narrowcasting.
What is a program schedule?
The sequencing of content (program) in a broadcast is called a schedule. Television and
radio programs are distributed through radio broadcasting or cable, often both
simultaneously. By coding signals and having decoding equipment in homes, the latter
also enables subscription-based channels and pay-per-view services.
What is a curtain raiser?
The curtain raiser is a full program in itself which actually is a forerunner before a major
program. For instance; a very important OIC conference is going to be held in Pakistan.
A day before, or even earlier, special programs will be aired to make people familiarize
with the issues the conference is going to discuss. This program will be called curtain
raiser.
Who is a Disc Jockey?
A disc jockey (also known as disk jockey, DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays
recorded music for an audience. Originally, disk referred to phonograph records, while
disc referred to the Compact Disc, and has become the more common spelling. Today,
the term includes all forms of music playback, no matter the source. There are several
types of disc jockeys. Radio DJs introduce and play music that is broadcast on AM, FM,
shortwave, digital, or internet radio stations. Club DJs select and play music in bars,
nightclubs, discothèques, at raves, or even in a stadium. Mobile disc jockeys travel with
portable sound systems and play recorded music at a variety of events.
Who is a Video Jockey?
A video jockey (usually abbreviated to VJ, or sometimes veejay) is an announcer who
introduces and plays videos on commercial music television. The term "video jockey" is
a derivative of the term "disc jockey", "DJ" (deejay) as used in radio. The term was
popularized in the 1980s by the Music Television Network (MTV).
How many phases a complete production can be divided in?
A complete production can be divided in three phase. Pre-Production Production Post-
Production
How can I become a broadcaster?
Just as there are many ways you can travel cross country, so too are there various ways to
become a broadcaster. Some choices you have will lead you to your destination quicker
than others, however. The name of the game is to get your foot in the door. From there,
you’ll get to know other broadcasters and important contacts. Equally important is that
other people in the broadcasting industry are getting to know you. This course and overall
this BS program will help you to get your foot in the door to make this possible.
Do I have to join any TV channel, radio station or production house to learn about
broadcasting as a mandatory requirement of the course?
No, you will be learning basics of production and broadcasting in this course without any
internship through lectures and assignments only. However at the end of the BS program
you will be asked to do internship in some broadcasting house to get the degree.
