Broadcasting Authority Of Ireland
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI; ) is a former broadcasting authority which regulated both public and commercial broadcasting sector in Ireland. It was established in 2009, effectively replacing the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) (). It was dissolved in 2023 and its staff and functions were transferred to a new body entitled . History *The Authority came into being under the Broadcasting Act 2009. *The Independent Radio and Television Commission (IRTC) was established under the terms of the Radio and Television Act 1988. This act allowed the first legal stations not operated by RTÉ, the national broadcaster, to come into existence. Prior to this commercial broadcasting in Ireland had been unlicensed and illegal. Despite this a thriving pirate radio scene existed. The Act sought to bring this under a regulatory framework. *From 1989 onwards the commission began to license Independent Local Radio stations. It also sought to introduce a national radio and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
North West Radio
North West Radio (NWR) was a radio station that broadcast to south County Donegal, north County Leitrim and throughout County Sligo from 1990 to 2004. It was a sister station of MidWest Radio (MWR) and was replaced by Ocean FM. The station had studios in Sligo Town and Donegal Town. Throughout its history, NWR topped listener polls and had won several high-profile awards. At the time of the removal of its license it was the most listened to local station in the Republic of Ireland, with a daily listenership figure of 64%. The decision to give the license to Ocean FM was a controversial one and split the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) three votes to three, with the chair casting the deciding vote in favour of the new station. The Commission argued that it had done so because the link up between NWR and MWR meant that not enough programmes were being produced by N.W.R. and that the station did little to attract younger listeners. These claims were denied by the CEO of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mass Media In Ireland
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less than it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
