	Television as a Medium of Drama by Helena Sheehan
		Television has brought a whole new scale and intensity to the experience of drama that is without precedent in the history of human culture.
		The use of film in shooting television drama and the technological development of videotape to an electronic approximation of the sensitivity and flexibility of celluloid have accentuated the tendency of the grammar of television drama to evolve in a direction away from the theatrical and toward the cinematic.
		Even television single plays and television movies are experienced and assimilated within the total flow, though their images rarely play on the individual imagination and become terms of social reference in the same way as do those of continuing series and serials.

	Anthology Drama
		Anthology drama was an early American television series format or genre in which each episode was a discrete story/play rather than a weekly return to the same setting, characters, and stars.
		In the history of American television the anthology dramas that were broadcast live from New York are often considered the epitome of the genre and of television's "golden age" of the 1950s.
		Television writers and original television dramas soon appeared, however, and writers as well as critics and audiences recognized the potential power of small-scale, intimate drama created for the new medium.

	Charles W. Pickering
		The FCC proposed the fine against Viacom-owned CBS licensees of the 20 television stations that aired the show due to the involvement of Viacom/CBS in the planning and approval of the telecast, and the history of indecency violations committed by Viacom's Infinity Broadcasting Corporation.
		This legislation addresses broadcasts over the public airwaves, but I hope the cable and satellite industries see the importance of this issue and voluntarily create a family tier of programming - allow station by station subscription, so families can make their own choice of media options without being forced to accept offensive channels.
		With the public airwaves we have the chance to affirm we want to be a good, decent people; a good, decent nation.

	Control Through Television
		In television, the Establishment and the government it owns have found the most powerful tool at their disposal to control, condition and manipulate a population to the dictates of power.
		After years of incessant television watching in youth, with the monitor having become parent, teacher, role model and trusted friend, with primate minds now under the spell of fictionalized conditioning and brainwashing, the adult citizen easily falls prey to the deceptions, manipulations and dictates of the Establishment.
		Using highly addictive and much needed escapist television programming as the hook and drug used to captivate and capture the attention of the masses, those in power fill the airwaves with the subtle yet powerful mechanisms of control, conditioning the masses to the direction they want society to take.

	We Want the Airwaves
		The broadcast airwaves are limited, and regulation is necessary to prevent everyone from trying to use the same frequencies, thus making none of it really useful to any but the biggest, strongest, and most expensive transmitters.
		Television news and news-talk shows "balance" coverage by showing a narrow range of centrists, along with a broad range of moderate right-wingers and far rightists; left-liberalism and the far left are largely unrepresented.
		The Sideshow and others on the alleged obligation of television viewers to watch the commercials or be "thieves".

	ON-TV & SPECTRUM
		Television was, according to its earliest opponents, a common source for juvenile delinquency.
		While the local politicians shuffled their collective feet, salvation for city dwellers came in the form of subscription broadcast television using a method referred to by the industry as "narrowcasting." Employing this method, a station would transmit a scrambled picture along with a code that was encoded in a single sideband of the audio signal.
		Although the concept of pay television was not new, until the 1980s it was virtually non existent and no law had been drafted to address the medium.

	The Vox in the Box
		Writing in 1937 during the early days of television, Gilbert Seldes attempted to save the new medium from what he identified as "the errors" of the radio and motion picture industries.
		Packard gave commercial television credit for what it did well ("diversion, news, and spectacular special new events"), but he wanted television to serve the kinds of discriminating niche audiences that were beginning to emerge.
		He explained that big television networks had initially developed as big bastion organizations rather than as a constellation of smaller entities simply because airspace and broadcasting licenses had been limited and expensive, and that, in the history of the American media, the "mass media" is in fact a new and anomalous concept.

	Series Guide - Series in Detail 4: On The Air (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		On British television, the series had always been presented one-hour stand-alone dramas which were transmitted weekly, and clearly Sonovision would be unable to adapt them verbatim for the serial format they would operate in.
		Another stipulation imposed upon the series was that each episode had to accommodate two 45-second commercial breaks - one after the opening theme and one before the closing theme.
		The original television series had been designed to be sold to commercial broadcasters around the world, so there were an abundance of 'cliffhangers' written into each episode - after which, breaks could be inserted.

	Adventures of Superman! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This feature picture was designed to be the first of a series of television episodes made specifically for syndication.
		The story was a plea for tolerance on behalf of a subterranean race and the public was impressed with the affable dignity and earnest conviction that George Reeves brought to his interpretation of Superman.
		The television episodes were edited, special effects elements were added, and the background and theme music added.

	Benton Foundation-PIO Guide
		But today’s television is too often out of touch with today’s realities: parent’s struggling to find educational programming for their children, voters struggling to find basic coverage of campaigns and elections so vital to our democracy, and minorities too often having difficulty finding programming reflective of their lives.
		Therefore, the transition from analog to digital television does not just represent a technological change, but an important opportunity to reassess whether the public’s airwaves are being used to meet the public’s needs.
		As broadcasters transition to digital television and the sharper images that it delivers, it is time for policymakers to provide a clearer picture for how broadcasters can meet their obligations in the digital age.

	Star Trek
		There was talk that the series might return with the original cast, with a new cast, or in a new sequel format.
		The series was extremely successful at establishing a new story world that still maintained a continuity with the premise, spirit, and history of the original series.
		Continuing over the run of the series were recurring encounters with Q, a seemingly omnipotent yet extremely petulant entity, the Borg, a menacing race of mechanized beings, and Lars, Data's "evil" android brother.

	Sitcom: What It Is, How It Works
		The last point notwithstanding, television is indeed an art just as much as drama or movies; it's just harder to tell because of all the other things with which it must contend.
		However, in an episodic television series, the event must not be the most important event in the protagonist's life.
		Television is an important part of American life, and, although a great amount has been saidand written about its significance and impact on politics, sociology, communications, technology, and the American life style, almost no attention has been paid to the programs themselves as an art form.

	Well Connected - The Center for Public Integrity
		The FCC's reliance on non-government, private data is so ingrained that when public interest groups asked for access to data underlying a series of media ownership reports last fall, the FCC relented only after issuing a quasi-judicial "protective order" meant to keep the information secret.
		While the FCC has a legal responsibility to protect proprietary data it buys from other sources, an investigation into the data it does acquire raises the question of whether relying so heavily on that information is such a good idea in the first place.
		The Center was able to construct a database of radio and television stations as well as cable and telephone companies, but the process took months, and the information gleaned from FCC documents was often out of date and incomplete.

	Gore on the Threat to American Democracy \| TPMCafe
		Television stations and networks, by contrast, are almost completely inaccessible to individual citizens and almost always uninterested in ideas contributed by individual citizens.
		We are learning some fascinating lessons about the way decisions are made in the television industry, and it may well be that the public would be well served by some changes in law and policy to stimulate more diversity of viewpoints and a higher regard for the public interest.
		First, as exciting as the Internet is, it still lacks the single most powerful characteristic of the television medium; because of its packet-switching architecture, and its continued reliance on a wide variety of bandwidth connections (including the so-called "last mile" to the home), it does not support the real-time mass distribution of full-motion video.

		Thus, out of that unholy union, comes the first wave of copycat reality shows, hoping to cash in on the success of Survivor: The Mole, Popstars, and of course, Temptation Island.
		The whole thing is manipulated, so that when you see a shot of someone reacting with a stunned look to something, it's probably just a shot from when they were listening to something else and were falling asleep, giving them that squinty look.
		Reality television shows came riding in on the backs of Richard Hatch and Regis Philbin like knights on white steeds, swooping up the networks and taking them back to the castle for the dirty sex of their lives.

		The later the hard date is, the more digital televisions people will have bought on their own, and fewer set top boxes, obviously, will be needed.
		But after really considering that, a very serious debate, we have concluded that a transition that differed from market to market would be most confusing to consumers.

	CBS.com \| CSI
		Sometimes, when a television show you like abruptly disappears off the airwaves, you may later read that the show “went on hiatus.” This is where the bad connotation of the word comes into effect, because it usually means that they halted production on the series before its episode order had been completed.
		Most likely, the ratings could not justify the costs of producing it, so the plug was pulled before the show could hemorrhage any more money.
		And that is due in large part to a theory we have abided by since the beginning of CSI six years ago, when we began to throw around the motto, “What Would Jerry Do?” As in our Executive Producer, Jerry Bruckheimer.
