Broadcast law refers to the set of legal regulations governing the transmission of radio and television^[2] signals. Different countries have their own specific set of laws and regulatory bodies. In the Philippines, the National Telecommunications Commission regulates broadcasting^[1], with content regulation under the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has jurisdiction over broadcasting, including frequency allocation and the enforcement of the fairness doctrine. The United Kingdom’s broadcasting is regulated by Ofcom as per the Broadcasting Act. These laws and regulations ensure fair and balanced coverage, prevent interference, and manage frequency allocation. They have shaped the history and evolution of broadcasting, with significant events like the Radio Act of 1927, the Communications Act of 1934, and the implementation of the Fairness Doctrine in 1949.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ broadcasting. Broadcasting, a key aspect in the realm of communication, has a rich and diverse history. It began with the transmission of telegraph signals over airwaves using Morse code, evolving into wireless communication and commercial radio broadcasting for news and entertainment. Broadcasting methods have advanced over the years, from central high-powered towers transmitting electromagnetic waves to receivers, to the digital age of streaming services. This influential technology plays an essential role in disseminating information and entertainment, shaping society, culture, and communication. Broadcasting encompasses various methods like radio, television, and internet streaming, and different types of services, such as public, community, and commercial. Technological advances have transformed the industry, with the internet and mobile devices making broadcasting more accessible globally.

2. ↑ television. Television is a technology that transmits visual and audio images. The term comes from Ancient Greek and Latin, meaning 'far sight.' First used in 1900 by Constantin Perskyi, it was known as 'telephote' and 'televista' in early proposals. Television evolved from the mechanical scanning of images, with the Nipkow disk, patented in 1884, playing a crucial role. Initially, TV signals were transmitted through terrestrial broadcasting, but now include coaxial cable, optical fiber, satellite systems, and the internet. Television sets have internal electronic circuits, including a tuner for receiving signals. Without a tuner, it's a video monitor. Color broadcasting was introduced in the mid-1960s, and now, there are smart TVs with internet connectivity. Today, 79% of households worldwide own a television, with major manufacturers producing smart TVs.
