“…This represented an important acknowledgement for interest groups that had been pushing for such uses, including the Joint Committee on Educational Television (JCET), which had promoted ETV since 1950. 15 For the educators united in this umbrella committeeas much as for other campaigners supporting televisual reforms-television promised to bridge social and educational disparities, and aid rural, black, and other underserved communities; for them, the medium possessed a 'democratic potential', which translated into potential enlightenment for all. 16 More broadly, in the 1950s and 1960s, ETV appeared as the awaited-for solution to Cold War problems (Figure 2).…”

Between the 1950s and the 1970s, the introduction of ETV into classrooms was supported by ongoing experiments regarding the medium’s affordances and technological design: educators and financing bodies experimented with televisual forms that embraced non-commercial broadcasting, national and regional programming, and even transmissions by planes. Analysing educational television in the USA, this paper focuses on one specific dispositif, namely the televisual closed-circuit (CCTV). While the closed-circuit projects have been widely documented in the postwar period and have received some attention from television and media historians, the analytical focus has remained on educational CCTV. This paper suggests a shift in perspective that embeds the educational closed-circuit within a broader history of televisual CCTV. In addition to serving school reforms, postwar CCTV systems were frequently used in military and industrial settings, where they fostered automation, surveillance, and tele-command. The analysis of educational television through the lens of closed-circuits brings to the fore such military-industrial entanglements and their links with the educational sector, and shines a new light on the history of educational TV overall.

“…The digitalization program is an opportunity to expand and develop the possibilities of TV services for viewers and listeners (Bae, 2013). The reality is that publicly accessed radio and TV media are unevenly distributed (Perlman, 2016). From a technical point of view, broadcasting digitalization refers to using specific terminology to describe procedures rather than different types of digitally produced media (Gomez-Barquero, 2020).…”

This research aimed to analyze the implementation of news coverage on the digitalization of broadcasting and explore the online media reporting model for the digitalization of broadcasting in Indonesia. The online media reporting model encourages people to migrate from analogue to digital television platforms. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze news from the online media www.Detikcom edition November 1, 2022 to November 16, 2022. Additionally, it utilized Nvivo 12+ software for the data analysis. Detikcom was selected as the data source because it had been ranked as one of the top five online news media most accessed by the public, reaching 320.3 million visits. Most smartphone users, approximately 98%, have visited this site. Based on the researchers' analysis, ten media contents of Detikcom reported the transition from analogue to digital television. The research findings suggested that there is a configuration model for online media reporting on broadcast digitalization. In addition, the online media reporting model identifies the dynamics of the shift from analogue to digital television. The dynamic shift is influenced by economic, juridical, technical, and political views. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights for future researchers studying the digital broadcasting ecosystem in Indonesia post-ASO (Analogue Switch-Off) or post-digitalization.
