This comprehensive study examines the case of AM stereo and
subsequent technologies to demonstrate the FCC's evolution from
stern to reluctant regulator. It also examines emerging
technologies, such as multichannel television sound, digital audio
broadcasting, and high definition television, and discusses their
impact on the evolution of broadcast regulation. In the 1980s the
tension between governmental control and the marketplace resulted
in the FCC's deregulation of TV and radio, electing to set only
technical operating parameters and allowing legal operation of any
system that meets those minimal standards. Huff argues that this
approach is likely to influence regulatory approaches to other new
developments in broadcast technologies. The extensive overview of
the industry and the study of the interrelationships between the
technologies will appeal to communication scholars in the fields of
radio and television as well as interest industry
professionals.
