TELEVISION BROADCASTING is the term in which the television signal

is transmitted by radio waves from a transmitter of a television station to a TV
receiver.
HOW TELEVISION WORKS

Television is an amazing window on the world. At the flick of a button, you can travel from the
North Pole to the South Pole, watch men walking on the Moon, see athletes breaking records, or
listen to world leaders making historic speeches. Television has transformed entertainment and
education. While millions of people watch television each day, many of them are not quite sure
how the technology works.
BROADCAST VS. SATTELITE VS. CABLE
There are three main ways to receive TV programming, one is through broadcast television and the
other two are through satellite and cable TV.
Broadcast TV is when audio and video signals are transmitted over

Terrestrial TV or
the air waves from a ground based transmitter. These signals are

News Broadcasting
NEWS BROADCASTING is the medium of broadcasting of various news events and other
information via television, radio or internet. It may also include additional material such as sports
coverage, weather forecasts, traffic reports, commentary and other material that the broadcaster feels is
relevant to their audience.
Television news refers to disseminating current events via the medium of television. A "news
bulletin" or a "newscast" are television programs lasting from seconds to hours that provide
updates on the universe, world, national, regional or local news events.
There are numerous providers of broadcast news content such as BBC News, NBC, CNN, Fox
News, RT and Al Jazeera.
Television news anchors notify the public about breaking headlines and current news events.
During live broadcasts, they introduce field and in-studio reporters who provide additional news
information on specific stories. Anchors may also interview professionals who have opinions or
facts relating to a story.
Working as a television news anchor allows a person to consistently be on camera and viewed by
audiences.
BE AN ARTICULATE SPEAKER. Your voice is key in

this field. You should concentrate on projection,
enunciation, and inflection. All of these things will help you
deliver your “script” in a compelling nature. You'll have to
speak loudly and slowly enough for people to understand
you, but quickly enough to cover everything you have to say
in a given amount of time.
LOOK GOOD ON CAMERA. This doesn't mean that you

have to look like a movie star or a Victoria's Secret model.
You don't even have to be classically handsome or beautiful.
You do, however, have to look appealing on camera, and
have that special quality that makes people want to watch
you doing whatever you do. This is a mixture of charisma,
confidence, and that special something that will make people
respond to you.
BE FREE FROM BIAS. Tough one, eh? If you want to be

an honest TV reporter or news anchor, then you'll have to
learn to put your prejudices aside. Even if you lean a certain way politically or feel biased against
certain professions, people, or regions, you'll have to do your reporting as objectively as possible.
You won't be able to let the people you interview see through to your personal beliefs, or you won't
be giving people the honest, unbiased news that they really want.
HAVE RIDICULOUS STAMINA. If you're the kind of

person who needs a nap after working for two hours, then
the life of a TV reporter or news anchor is not for you. You
may have to work 12 hour shifts, get up at 2 a.m., or spend
hours just standing in the same spot during unusually cold or
hot conditions waiting for a story to break.
HAVE STELLAR WRITING SKILLS. Though being an

articulate speaker is crucial, being a strong writer isn't far
behind. Writing skills will also help you communicate with
others if you have to develop your own stories, and your
writing should make you sound as professional as possible.
