 | | Clear Channel’s domination of the radio industry was enabled by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which lifted regulatory limits on the number of stations (per market and overall) that could be owned by a single entity. |
 | | Hallmark also owns Crayola crayon manufacturer, Binney and Smith, and is a diversified media enterprise with a range of broadcasting, programming, and entertainment assets specializing in family-friendly content, produced and delivered through two subsidiaries: Hallmark Entertainment and Crown Media, operator of the Hallmark Channel. |
 | | The channel features the kind of family-friendly programming one would expect from a Hallmark subsidiary, including upbeat movies and dramatic series, original and licensed movies (with emphases on holidays and inspiring narrative), and lots of reruns from the 1950s through 1980s of classic (and not-so-classic) dramas, mysteries, Westerns, and comedies. |
