Abstract

Purpose of the study:  This research attempts to gain understanding of the information used for experimental radio broadcasting operations of the broadcasting operators.

Methodology:  This survey study used the assessment forms for collecting data from the sample group of 331 persons comprising 271 operators (81.87%) who were allowed to carry out experimental broadcasting operations and 60 persons (18.13%) who were suspended to conduct the experimental broadcasting. This investigation was conducted in 20 provinces in the Northeast, Thailand using frequency and percentage as its data analysis. 

Main findings:  Both groups of the experimental broadcasting operators grasp understanding of the information used in the experimental broadcasting operations at the high and medium levels at 62.69% and 59.31% respectively.  They gain very high level of understanding in the information classified by each issue of the application for the experimental broadcast permit (62.58% and 64.86%), followed by the medium level in the information for management of experimental broadcast operations at 43.36% and 45.56%.  With regard to the functional roles of the experimental operators their understanding was found to be at the great and medium level at 63.22% and 49.31%, while the implementation of experimental broadcasting mission their understanding was reportedly as the greatest and great level as 81.55% and 77.50%.

Applications of the study:  Findings from this study will be presented to the NBTC for planning its promotion of broadcasting knowledge to the general public, experimental broadcast engagement, and for prevention of broadcasting suspension due to violation of rules and regulations of the experimental broadcast operations.
