  Television South - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Both TVS and Meridian had a slightly bigger coverage area than Southern, because on the day TVS was launched, the transmitters at Bluebell Hill and Chatham Town (in north Kent) were switched from the London ITV region to that of the South of England.
Like its predecessor, the company made many contributions to the network in the areas of children's television, drama and light entertainment.
They also converted the Plaza Cinema in Gillingham into the TVS Television Theatre, and it was here that the UK inserts for Fraggle Rock were made, as well as the Saturday morning children's programme No.73.

 William G. Thomas III, Television News and the Civil Rights Struggle: The Views in Virginia and Mississippi
Television's rise to prominence in American culture was startlingly fast, and all participants in the civil rights struggle understood that it had dramatic power.
By 1963, one media observer argued that it was already too late for the South to reverse the influence of television and television news—segregation could not be extended to the new medium because the medium itself was not conducive to it.
Television news reporters and producers in Virginia presented multiple perspectives of the events in the 1950s and 1960s in a way that eluded the long tradition of print media and opened these local stories and personalities, fl and white, to communities across the South.

 South Africa's television channels - SouthAfrica.info
South African television is broadcast in all eleven official languages, as well as in German, Hindi, Portugese - and even in sign.
Although the country was one of the last in Africa to have a television service, South Africans now have access to a wide spectrum of local and international drama, comedy, sports and news through their televisions.
The relatively late introduction of television to the country had its advantages, as the state-controlled South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) was able to skip the expensive transition between fl-and-white and colour.

 Television and violence
A comparison of South Africa with only the United States (Fig 2) could easily lead to the hypothesis that US involvement in the Vietnam War or the turbulence of the civil rights movement was responsible for the doubling of homicide rates in the United States.
As of 1987, the white South African homicide rate had reached 5.8 homicides per 100 000 white population, a 130% increase in the homicide rate from the rate of 2.5 per 100 000 in 1974, the last year before television was introduced.
It is concluded that the introduction of television in the 1950s caused a subsequent doubling of the homicide rate, i.e., long-term childhood exposure to television is a causal factor behind approximately one half of the homicides committed in the United States, or approximately 10 000 homicides annually.

 Television Info: South Park
South Park satirizes many aspects of American culture and current events, and challenges deepset convictions and taboos, usually using parody and fl humor.
Comedy Central defended South Park by noting that the show is given a "Mature Audiences" TV rating (TV-MA) and that it only airs the show during nighttime hours and never during the day when children may be more likely to see the show.
South Park's early episodes tended to be shock value-oriented, but the more recent episodes are often oriented more toward poking fun at current events.

 Why South Africa’s Television is only Twenty Years Old: Debating Civilisation, 1958-1969
Television was therefore not advisable because: it would divert the Afrikaners towards other cultural references alien to them, but would not provide them with sufficient programmes relating directly to their own history, culture and language; it would impede upon the development of the
Vote UP!” The isolation of South Africa on the world scene was further reinforced by this stubborn refusal of television, as more and more people began to feel they were becoming the laughing-stock of the Western world which South Africa was always so proud of saying it belonged to.
In fact, television would not bring the liberalistic thrust many people had been waiting for, if only for one reason: the liberals were deprived of the political power to take effective steps for the introduction of TV.

Miami Vice was a popular television series (five seasons on NBC from 1984-1989) starring Don Johnson (James "Sonny" Crockett) and Philip Michael Thomas (Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs) as two Miami police detectives working undercover.
Many episodes of Miami Vice were filmed in the South Beach section of Miami Beach, an area which, at the time, was blighted by poverty and crime.
Some street corners of South Beach were so run down that the production crew actually decided to repaint the exterior walls of some buildings before filming.

 Himal South Asian-August-2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The consequences of television’s immense reach and the grip it has on the psyche of South Asians are of a magnitude and variety that evade statistical measurement.
South Asian public opinion has no effective means of making itself felt at the moment, though there is scope for the creation of new networks for this purpose.
Television programmes have generated huge volumes of correspondence, sometimes on a scale which producers have found impossible to process, but there are few organisations representing the viewer and listener in a more systematic way.

 CANOE -- JAM! Television: 'South Park' mocks plastic surgery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
South Park has always been good at producing shows that are winceably tough to watch and make viewers feel uncomfortable (sorta like CBC drama).
What separates South Park from such rip off rubbish as Kevin Spencer (inexplicably back for its eighth and, thankfully, final season) is that South Park is also one of the few comedies on television today that also makes you think.
South Park takes an obvious target -- sex change surgery -- and uses it to make points about the danger and excesses of plastic surgery in a society that tolerated two seasons of The Swan.

 Chef Returns to South Park - Television - New York Times
Isaac Hayes left "South Park" after an episode of the animated series on Comedy Central savagely mocked his religion, the Church of Scientology, and its most famous follower, Tom Cruise.
"South Park" is an anarchic, sophomorically profane series famous for fearlessly knocking all kinds of taboos; most recently it lampooned Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" and the Terri Schiavo case.
It seems that the only way "South Park" could tweak its parent company was to make even more fun of Scientology, almost daring Viacom to censor it.

First, the show must be viewed in the context of television, and compared to the various other Southern television shows.
By 1970, however, stories portraying the South as a land populated by a universally simple and often silly group of inhabitants" began to strike a sour note with sponsors.[2] CBS cancelled its full lineup of Southern comedies in 1971.
Southern television boasted a few bumbling fools before the Dukes, like Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle of Andy Griffith and Jethro of the Hillbillies, but The Dukes writers redefined the role when they introduced Boss Hogg and his cronies, whose primary influences lay on the big screen.

Such stuff is the very point of this, the hottest show on television.
Nor does "hottest" mean "best," since South Park is just a more obscene knock-off of Beavis and Butt-head mated with a much less funny knock-off of The Simpsons, the best show on television.
(Though South Park's Valentine's Day special, with many smirking references to lesbianism, had moments as funny as anything on The Simpsons.) What it means is that, God help us, South Park has managed to generate excitement among TV viewers like nothing since the early days of Beavis and Butt-head and The Simpsons.
