	UPN - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Paramount Pictures (the "P" in UPN) has played a pivotal role in the development of network television; it was a partner in the DuMont Television Network, and the Paramount Theaters chain, spun off from the corporate/studio parent, was an early, important component of the ABC television network's survival in the 1950s.
		Independent stations, even more than network affiliates, were feeling the growing pressure of audience erosion to cable television in the 1980s and 1990s, and there were unaffiliated commercial stations in most of the major markets, at least, even after the foundation of Fox in 1986.
		It is said that Viacom's purchase of CBS was the "death knell" for the FCC's "no duopolies at all rule".

	Media - Book-Busters, Corporate Consolidation in Book Publishing and Selling
		Viacom, owner of Simon and Schuster, which acquired Scribner a few years back, now appears to be headed for an operational merger with Time-Warner and its two imprints Warner Books and Little Brown.

		But recent events involving Sinclair and other large broadcasters, such as Viacom Inc., coupled with an escalating lobbying effort to remove government controls, raise questions about whether the broadcast industry's corporate goals may be affecting news coverage.
		It was during that last year of record lobbying that the FCC proposed significant relaxation of the ownership rules, which would have allowed corporations to own more media outlets than ever before and reach a greater percentage of the national audience.
