| | Radio Pacific and Gardiner - 2004-035 |
| | [19] On the basis that talkback radio is seldom a news or current affairs programme (other than the scheduled news bulletins), the Authority concludes that Principle 6 is not applicable to the complaint about a talkback host’s comments about the appointment of a gay and lesbian police liaison officer. | | | As the critical comments focused on a group rather than on an individual, the Authority rules that the provision set out in Guideline 7a of Principle 7 is more relevant than Principle 5. | | | Although intended to be provocative rather than a considered opinion, the comments used obsolete stereotypes which many, including the Authority, consider ill-informed and distasteful. |

| | Hexapedia - Television commercial |
| | The radio advertising industry was well-established when television made its debut in the 1940s, and in the United States television was intentionally developed as a commercial medium, based upon radio's successful format, by the first television broadcasting networks (especially RCA, the founder and owner of the NBC Red and NBC Blue networks). | | | Commercials of this sort have been used to sell literally every product imaginable over the years, from household products to goods and services, to political campaigns. | | | Since their inception in the late 1940s, television commercials have become far and away the most effective, most pervasive, and most popular method of selling products of all sorts. |

| | Radio's open forum, however, became unmanageable in 1926 after an Attorney General's decision said the Radio Act of 1912 did not give the Secretary of Commerce authority to assign wave lengths. | | | In relationship to the Radio Act, what was crucial was that Congressmen, regardless of party, accepted a Progressive way of thinking about the role and mechanisms of government. | | | In the final analysis, however, whether Borah and other Progressive senators were happy, the fact remains that the Radio Act included many provisions, particularly the creation of an independent commission and the public interest standard, borrowed from the Progressive model of federal regulation. |
