 Milestones in Television Broadcasting
With many new challenges facing broadcast television, new developments in technology, and continuous changes in our social and political environment, each station is attempting to position itself in a unique niche that caters to the needs of its diverse and increasingly-sophisticated audiences.
A landmark development in the history of Taiwan's television industry was the inauguration of a fourth over-the-air television station in June 1997.
The creation of public-interest television was first proposed in 1980, and four years later the Government Information Office established a task force to produce public-interest programs to be aired on a rotating basis on the three commercial stations, before it finally got its own channel.

As the church audience waits to hear the recital, Roc and Eleanor are standing in the background of the scene, next to the audience and slightly to the left of the poster.
Defendants contend that the nine instances in their television program in which portions of the poster were visible, individually and in the aggregate, were de minimis, in the sense that the quantity of copying (or at least the quantity of observable copying) was below the threshold of actionable copying.
From the standpoint of a quantitative assessment of the segments, the principal four-to-five-second segment in which almost all of the poster is clearly visible, albeit in less than perfect focus, reenforced by the briefer segments in which smaller portions are visible, all totaling 26 to 27 seconds, are not de minimis copying.

Roc and his wife stand farther to the left of the poster.
Thus, the fact that the episode of ROC does not supplant the need or desire of a television viewer to see and appreciate the poster (or the original) again and again does not mean that the defendants' use is of a "purpose and character" that favors fair use.
The Court relied primarily on the fact that the ROC episode had little likelihood of adversely affecting poster sales and that Ringgold had not claimed that her ability to license the poster had been "negatively impacted." 1996 WL 535547, at *4.

"Roc" was a sincere attempt to capture an authentic component of the African-American experience in sit-com form, unlike shows like "The Cosby Show" which had no ties to AA culture (the Huxtables could have all been White with no change at all in the series).

ROC was one of the most stylish and intelligent sitcoms ever to grace our television screens.
