  Independent Television - Search View - MSN Encarta
The development of independent television (ITV) was prompted by political concerns at the end of the 1940s about the power of the monopoly of broadcasting then held by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
BBC Television, still dominated by a radio hierarchy, was forced to change its nightly out-of-vision news-reading and weekly newsreel formula to match the challenge of ITN’s in-vision “newscasters” and fiercely competitive journalistic enterprise.
Independent television as a whole was to see even greater, and more radical change over the next seven years.

 Response to The Association of Independent Television Stations, Inc.'s Request for Business Review Letter
The measures you describe INTV and the independent television stations having taken since the passage of the Television Program Improvement Act and further comparable cooperative activities are in the Department's view unlikely to be anticompetitive.
The Television Program Improvement Act's protection did not extend to boycotts of anyperson, and you state that further efforts by INTV and the independent stations that you propose to alleviate the negative impact of violence in telecast materials also would not entail such conduct.
For the foregoing reasons, the Department does not believe that continuance of the activities by INTV and the independent television stations that have been exempted from the antitrust laws by the Television Program Improvement Act--including measures already taken or the proposed comparable cooperative measures that may be taken in the future--warrant antitrust concern.

 THE POLITICS OF TELEVISION PRIVATIZATION IN EASTERN EUROPE: PRIVATE? INDEPENDENT? COMMERCIAL?
The state television, in accord with the general policy of the government, reduced its broadcasting in ethnic minorities languages, and the number of over-the-air identifiable Hungarian-owned stations, in the Hungarian-inhabited regions, is only one or two (an average of one station for 800,000 inhabitants compared to a national average of 350,000 inhabitants per station).
The main accomplishment of the meeting was the proposal of an independent broadcasting commission, one not subordinate to the government, and incorporating in the draft provisions from the European Convention on Transfrontier Television.
Television should be used to dismantle the communist structures in power." When you propose social values to commercial television you not only risk limiting your viewership to your political constituency, such attitudes also enable the government to avoid an open debate on the differences between what is commercial, independent and private television.

 Baird's independent television | Baird
The Television Committee issued its report in late January 1935, proposing a high-definition VHF television service to be operated alternately by BTL and Marconi-EMI, and along with other political considerations, it is certainly possible that Baird was included at least partially to help discourage the company from carrying out its apparent threat to go independent.

 Central Europe Review - Jan Culik - An absolute end of independent Czech television journalism?
Under the threat of being dissolved (the members and the head of the Council for Czech Television are paid by parliament what, in the Czech context, are relatively substantial salaries) the Council for Czech Television seems to have hastily acted to satisfy their paymasters; they are due to appoint a new Chief Executives this week.
The basic problem of Czech Television is a problem familiar to many Czech businesses: formal management structures were seriously underdeveloped and Czech TV was run by vested interests, by informal cliques of friends who made decisions during ad hoc meetings in the corridors or in the cafeteria without necessarily being accountable for these decisions.
It is remarkable that the Council for Czech Television seems ready to appoint to a highly prestigious public post a person about whom it is a matter of public record that he does not hesitate to lie in public in order to further his personal aims.

 Television, video, and motion picture camera operators and editors
Camera operators in the film and television industries usually are hired for a project on the basis of recommendations from individuals such as producers, directors of photography, and camera assistants from previous projects or through interviews with the producer.
Television, video, and motion picture camera operators and editors can expect keen competition for job openings because the work is attractive to many people.
Job growth in radio and television broadcasting will be tempered by the use of robocams and Parkervision systems for studio broadcasts; cameras in these systems are automated and under the control of a single person working either on the studio floor or in a director’s booth.

 Independent Television Service
ITVS was merely the latest attempt to implement some of public broadcasting's earliest goals: that public television would be independent of commercial interests and would become--in the words of the Carnegie Commission in 1967--"the clearest expression of American diversity, and of excellence through diversity." By 1988, however, many saw PBS as neither independent nor diverse.
While intellectual and artistic cultures have demeaned television's mass mentality from the start in postures of voluntary cultural exclusion, it was the civil rights crisis in the 1960s, by contrast, that highlighted television's involuntary forms of ethnic, racial, and gender bias.
The formation of National Educational Television (NET), its successor the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), and the funding arm, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) were all attempts to correct the narrow interests that democratically minded critics saw at the root of network television.

 OFF THE TELLY: Features/TV24/Independent Television: An Overview
Following another round of franchise distributions in 1981, Central Independent Television became the company officially broadcasting to the Midlands region, but was in reality the previous franchise holder ATV under a different name.
It was with this latter point in mind that the Broadcasting Act enforced a second big change: the replacement of the IBA with the Independent Television Commission (ITC), a much less influential body with far diminished power to regulate the nature of cross-network relations and sustain regional diversity.
Critics respond that the unique and precious regional tradition of Britain's independent television, the careful balance between local identity, programme making and networking nation-wide, and the history and legacy of commercial television itself is all being sacrificed purely in the name of business and profits.

 Seanad Éireann - Volume 149 - 18 December, 1996 - Commissioning of Independent Television Programmes: Motion.
The requirement that the independent sector would have the right to make programmes and submit them to RTÉ was one of the fundamental aspects of the 1993 legislation.
This is a strand of independent television production that is not covered by the provisions of the 1993 Act and it is worth putting on record, so that Senators have the total picture, that expenditure by Teilifís na Gaeilge on programme commissions in 1995 was £1.8 million.
It is only reasonable that the independent sector should be able to look to the national broadcaster as a place in which it will be able to reflect life in all its complexity, fl and white, good and bad, as it is in both a contemporary and traditional setting.
