Adjusting with our Antennas
What was watched and the way it was watched on TV has presented a significant impact on the medium's influcence over time. Join the lifelong television enthusiast identified as the frequency BAF in a journey through various decades of that medium where the reception came from the antenna. The episodes cover shows, genres, personalities and how not just antennas but how audiences have received them through the airwaves over time.

Adjusting with our Antennas
Seasons Start, Seasons End, Seasons Change
The evolution of television programming was greatly influenced by the structure of the television season. BAF explores how it started out in experimental forms with early programming before eventually developing a fall through spring-summer model with reruns filling in. Certain programs defined the idea of the season finale through plot twists, cast and character changes, and the cliffhanger (Because soap operas are a future topic none specifically are mentioned in this episode just their role in general). Tune in to hear more on this season finale and engage in summer reruns before Season 2 begins in July.
