A small device, called "peoplemeter" is assembled in every radio and TV set. This is standard equipment of every set, since early 90's. That device sends back the informations thru the aerial, which frequency is preffered at that moment on that TV or radio set. Informations are gathered in all radio and TV stations, and analysed, in order to get information which channel is the most preferred at this very moment. Thus the number of viewers and listeners is obtained.

Find out what radio station it was, then go to their website and you should be able to find out what it was called

It will take a while, but sooner or later Google will rule the world. Knowledge is power. Right now the Chinese are still in their internet infancy. They'll grow up eventually and realize that the only way to maintain in the global community is to know your friends and your enemies.

Go to the British Library and look through all the old Radio Times for those years....... Shouldn't take more than a month - even if you COULD do it on line !

I think you should watch english news channels and listen the newsreaders carefully. Read newspapers or magazines loudly. Start thinking in english rather than chinese. Talk only in english with ur friends.

I'm guessing that you are referring to the "News" media.  If so, it simply evolves with new things being added and old things dropping away.\n\nThere was a time when hot news stories were sent by telegraph wire message.  During the last month Western Union has dropped wire message service.\n\nAt one time newspapers were the primary source of news, today they have lots of competition and now you can email your letter to the editor.  \n\nWhat a great world!

The trend that aggrevates me the most is how local news is broadcasting more and more world news... only to have the world news come on right after it. Stupid... I like local news to be local news. If there isn't enough bad news to report... then report something good for a change.

A very good, complicated and interesting question.  Katy brought up a good point.  You could write entire book on how cell phones has changed daily life around the world.  Just think of how many business decisions are now done in real time rather than getting to a land line (telephone.)  Or how about a reporter in the field giving a story before he or she has set up the equipment to broadcast the story?  Or how about the reporting of the Iraq war where no broadcasting equipment was even available?  With cell phones, many of which now have cameras built into them, people are taking pictures of crimes as they occur.   This is also true for reporting crimes in areas that didn’t normally have phone access.\n\nSince you didn’t speak of which wireless technology you were referring to I can only assume you are talking about all wireless technology so I will discuss some others here.\n\nIn the last few years wireless networking for home computing has really taken off.  It has become much more affordable and easier to configure for the average person.  Now here is where it gets interesting.   Many new laptops have the ability for you to use a wireless networking adapter in them or with them.  Some cities, including mine in Anaheim California, are going to make the whole city wireless!   They are going to install wireless Internet transmitters all over Anaheim so everyone has a wireless connection to the Internet.  Even people visiting from out of town can use the wireless system but they have to pay a small access fee.   Can you imagine driving across the county someday and being able to access the Internet right from your car?\n\n\nLet us not forget that the first wireless technology started with the radio.  Man discovered radio in the late 1800’s.  Radio technology grew in bits and pieces but by the turn of the century wireless communications had been established.  All wireless routers and wireless Internet communication uses radio waves to send the data.\n\n\nLet us not forget RADAR.  RADAR is an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging\nand helped us win the world war II.  One of the first uses of Microwave technology was used in RADAR in the world war II also.  Most households now use Microwaves to cook food with so radio waves also help us heat things\n\n\nWhat about television transmission?  Isn’t that also wireless?  Although many people now use cable (because they have paid for premium channels) television is a wireless technology.\n\nAnd others:\n\nRadio transponders to find lost aircraft (also a transponder)\nLo Jack stolen automobile retrieval device (also a transponder)\nNavigation\n\nRadio Frequency Identification (RFID) (also a transponder)\nRadio Frequency Identification is a way to remotely receive data from RFID tags or transponders.  They are used on toll roads and even at Mc Donald’s to buy lunch with a swipe of a small device.  They are used soo much that this needs to be researched all by itself.\n\nWhat all wireless technologies have in common is that they are all based on Radio waves.  All of things that I have mentioned are based on Radio technology \n\n\nP.S.  I usually don’t cut and paste and if I do I will say that, that is what I am doing and explain where that information came from.  I like to read information from multiple information sources then put that information together in my own words while keeping the article technically and factually correct.  And as always, I will point to web sites or other information to prove that my information is factual.

The original sense of news was 'new things'; this is long obsolete. Since the 15th century it has been used to mean 'tidings, the report of recent events, new occurrences as a subject or report or talk.' (source listed below)\n\nBut most people would define it as an acronym for North, East, West and South.
