Chapter 6: Cable even expanded as far as music broadcasting through companies like Music Choice and DMX. Although we usually turn to radio for our broadcasted music, the cable music channels have better sound quality and very few (if any) commercials.
Chapter 11: The most interesting thing to me in this chapter was the idea of subliminal advertising. I guess I never actually thought it was real, but subliminal messages have been found in Coca Cola ads and a few liquor ads.
Chapter 16: I think it's interesting that radio and t.v. censorship sort of skirts the line between protecting their consumers from indecency and encroaching on our first amendment rights. The grip of censorship on many programs have slackened significantly over the years, and I wonder sometimes if eventually there will be no censorship.
