CHAPTER ONE

Introduction

• Background of the Study

English Language is a special gift of God to mankind, if there were no English language human civilization would have remained impossibility. It is present every where in our thoughts, dreams, medications, relations, prefers and communications. Apart form being from being a means of communications. It is the source of thinking as well as expression, this is the reason why it is termed as “species uniform” possession of human beings.

Josephat (2009), defined broadcasting as the dissemination of information, ideas, attitudes and opinions through the use of air waves. Professionally of useful information, ideas, knowledge, attitudes, feelings etc. inform of signal through the airwaves to a heterogeneous and widely dispersed audience simultaneously. It can also be conceived as the dissemination or speaking information, facts and ideas to the general public either in audio or both audio and  visual.

Nnabueze (2007), also opted broadcasting as the transmission of coded signals through the electromagnetic spectrum to receiving sets that convert and coded measure sages into audience consumable messages.

Similarity, Chester (1976:2) defines broadcasting as the transmission through space using radio frequency signals. However, this particular definition does not cover a wide spectrum of broadcasting, as this communication scholar limited the scope of his definition to radio broadcasting alone.

Broadcasting could be for public reception or for private reception. Obviously, broadcasting for public reception refers to the dissemination of programmes prepared for, and broadcast to the general public. For instance, the broadcast of such stations as the radio Benue station is public reception.

Conversely, broadcasting for private reception refers to the use of the airwaves to facilitate communication between private individuals or institutions. Communication by radio between ships in the high seas and their agents on shore is one of the typical examples of broadcasting involves the use of airwaves for point-to-point communication. Little wonder them that aircraft pilots, security agents and construction workers make use of this kind of broadcasting as a means of communication between one another.

The radio is essentially an audio medium but with a visual impact the visual impact of the radio medium is fundamentally expressed in the picturisation of the audio experience in the mental realm. This means that the words used usually paint pictures in the receiver’s mind. Thus, radio receivers often visualize (image) the presented audio experience, as if it is happening in the physical reality.

Radio broadcasting can therefore, be defined as the dissemination of audio signals through the air waves. Thus, communication through radio is virtually instantaneous. So English language as a means of communication, a kind of social tool which is essential for the society for social interactions.
