Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast

Dielectric has changed how FM broadcast antenna manufactures validate directional pattern studies for new FM broadcast antennas. The company's groundbreaking research has resulted in the recent FCC filing of a Petition for Rulemaking, written with leading broadcast consultancy, Merrill Weiss Group, and expected to be approved this fall.

The new rule paves the way for the first directional FM pattern verification rule change in 58 years — a rule change that passes the torch from physical to AI-driven simulated modeling. 

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, David Rusch talks with Keith Pelletier, General Manager of Dielectric, about the ramifications of this rule change for broadcasters in both the U.S. and Canada.

In the three-channel universe most Canadian kids in the 1970s grew up in, Hilarious House of Frightenstein was a weekend morning staple. From its wacky pacing to the lyrical monologues of legend Vincent Price, and memorable characters like The Count, Igor, and Grizelda The Ghastly Gourmet, the CHCH Hamilton series - shot over just nine months in 1971 - has established a cult following.

This week, the show celebrated its 50th anniversary, marked by the debut of new pre-school adaptation Happy House of Frightenstein, the first of a series of spin-offs in the works from Headspinner Productions. On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we talk to Headspinner's Michelle Melanson and Ken Cuperus on licensing a Canadian pop culture institution.

When the team behind independent documentary The New Corporation went to market the film last year, they were rejected by Twitter for promotion on the platform for quote "political," "sensitive" and "inappropriate" content.

The film's co-director, writer and producer happens to be UBC law professor Joel Bakan, who is now taking Twitter and the Canadian government to court arguing that because of the social platform’s central role in democratic discourse, it should be legally prohibited from restricting political and social speech that causes no harm.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we talk with Bakan about corporate power, regulating big tech, and why he thinks Bill C-10 didn't go far enough.
