Today In Communication History
On this date in 1942, BBC began transmitting news bulletins in Morse code for the benefit of resistance fighters in mainland Europe.
On this date in 1955, UK permitted television broadcasting hours for both BBC and the forthcoming ITV services were fixed at a total of 35 hours on weekdays, with a daily maximum of eight hours, not before 9am nor after 11pm, with a closedown between 6pm and 7pm and no more than two hours before 1pm. The same restrictions apply on Saturday; on Sunday the maximum is seven and three-quarter hours, and not more than 15 hours over the weekend as a whole. On Sunday programmes can be transmitted between 2pm and 11pm, with a closedown from 6.15pm to 7.30pm. Religious services may be broadcast outside these hours and in addition to the total permitted hours. Outside broadcasts of special events are also not included in the daily limits.
On this date in 1960, television service started in Costa Rica.
NOTE: We have entered a new era in screen ratings. Nielsen is expanding its sample of TV viewers to include new
homes with meters that record the channel being watched—but not the demographics of the people watching. That will be estimated using data modeling and an algorithm Nielsen has developed, and added to the current sample that does include people meters that measure demos. The Panel Expansion (NPX), in which 12,900 households have been added to the national sample, is at the center of this change. The household ratings in these homes are measured by meters on each television in the home, while the demographic ratings in these homes will be assigned by Nielsen using a statistical algorithm. This is the first time since 1987 that homes in the national sample are not equipped with PeopleMeters, which measure both the program viewed and the people watching it.
Quote of the Day

Digital/TV Research
Pay TV vs Broadband
The largest multichannel video providers, representing about 95% of the pay-TV subscriber market, lost almost 385,000 subscribers in 2015, reports LRG. That was roughly triple the number of losses from 2014, and means that the top providers have now lost rather than gained subscribers over the past 5 years (factoring in gains in 2011 and 2012).
It’s the opposite trend for the top broadband providers, which have added close to 3 million or more subscribers each year this decade. The number of broadband subscribers continues to catch up to the number of pay-TV subscribers, numbering roughly 99 million and 96 million, respectively.
