The Memphis Flyer: Media Watch - July 16, 1998 Unless of course you consider that Phillip was scheduled to start as assistant news director at WBZ-TV in Boston last Monday, two days before starting in Memphis. So close was Phillip’s association with Cheatwood that industry-watchers in Boston worried that Phillip’s now-moot appointment meant WBZ would be taking a flashy Cheatwood-style turn, an impression reinforced when Cheatwood himself turned up in the offices of WBZ last month, fueling speculation that he too might be hired at the station. Phillip’s appointment at WBZ was announced in the Boston press, with some fanfare, almost a month ago. www.memphisflyer.com /backissues/issue491/media491.htm   (829 words)

Start the USA Intertel As most American TV stations broadcast only on a single transmitter (as opposed to the multiple transmitters of many ITV contractors), the announcement would go into much more detail about the television station than a start-up in the UK ever would. In some respects, sign-ons of TV stations in the USA were similar to start-ups of ITV regions. The nuances may be different - Americans call it sign-on instead of start-up, and use different kinds of testcards, calling them test patterns - but the ways American TV stations and ITV contractors began their broadcast day prior to the era of 24-hour television broadcasting turn out to have been pretty universal. www.transdiffusion.org /emc/intertel/features/usa.php   (572 words)

LEXSEE 37 F The real thrust of your complaint would appear to be not fairness in the discussion of controversial issues but the elimination of violent TV children's programming because of its effect on children. George D. Corey, a student at Suffolk Law School, brought this complaint against three Boston television stations -- WBZ, WNAC and WSBK -- charging that the children's programming carried by these stations contains inordinate amounts of violence. Corey asks that, pending an investigation of these programs, we grant the stations only probationary license renewals, and that we require the stations to comply with the fairness doctrine by agreeing to present announcements warning of the dangers of violence in children's television. www.uiowa.edu /~cyberlaw/FCCOps/1972/37F2_641.htm   (2188 words)

A U. S. Television Chronology, 1875-1970 First live network transmission of TV pictures from inside a manned U.S. space capsule in orbit: Apollo 7 There were six such broadcasts during their eleven-day mission. First TV pictures transmitted from a manned U.S. space capsule, astronaut Gordon Cooper's "Faith 7." Because the picture quality is poor, only NBC carries the transmission, and on tape-delay, not live. This was not actually the first trans-Atlantic TV, as the BBC and German TV were received in the 1930s in Long Island and perhaps elsewhere in the U.

da960185.txt WNNE-TV argues that physically, economically, and in terms of coverage and programming, the relationship and nexus between a station and communities -- which WNNE- TV argues is central to a satisfactory showing for modification to add to a television station's market -- could not be closer than between WNNE-TV and the Communities. WNNE-TV requests modification of its market to include the Communities, which are located in Sullivan and Cheshire Counties, New Hampshire, and Windham County, Vermont. However, the location of these communities within WNNE- TV's Grade A service contour outweighs the lack of historic carriage. www.fcc.gov /Bureaus/Cable/Orders/1996_TXT/da960185.txt   (3160 words)

The station had been fairly competitive with WCVB and WBZ, but the RKO fiasco caused a sharp drop in the ratings that lasted until Sunbeam bought the station in June 1993. psychcentral.com /psypsych/WHDH   (1212 words)

G. Wayne Miller I think they have to make more of an effort in the age of TV and movies to channel or direct their kids into creative pursuits that don't fit within what you see at McDonald's, and what you see on the screen, and what you see on TV, and what sells. It was not a big TV family, it was not a big movie family. We were allowed little TV, which, in retrospect, was a very good thing. www.gwaynemiller.com /inter.htm   (11520 words)
