Product Description
This report, "Public Service Broadcasting: Short-term Crisis, Long-term Future? (HL 61)", responds to the current crisis in public service broadcasting, particularly in the advertiser-funded television sector. This has been caused by three factors: the move from analogue to digital broadcasting means that established forms of support are losing value; viewers are increasingly taking advantage of technological developments that provide alternatives to conventional broadcasting, such as the internet and the many commercial channels; and, the speed and severity of the current economic recession. The Committee believes that the commercially-funded public broadcasters - ITV, Channel Four, Five and BSkyB - should continue to provide an alternative to the BBC, which should not become an even more dominant provider of public service programming. Other conclusions and recommendations made by the Committee include the following. Market forces will not resolve the crisis and intervention is justified to ensure sufficient public service provision that the market will nor provide free for the public.There is a need for financial clarity on the financial position of all the public service broadcasters, and Channel Four's position should be independently reviewed. A partnership between Channel 4 and BBC Worldwide, rather than a full merger, would be a quicker means of making extra resources available to Channel 4. The BBC's other partnership proposals are welcomed. An element of contestable funding should be introduced, with such funding to come from: the underspend on the digital switchover; continuance of funding from the licence fee after 2012 when the switchover programme ends; and, the use of at least part of analogue spectrum revenue after 2012. Ultimately, part of the licence fee could be used to support public service content provision outside the BBC. ... Read more

From the supplier: The organizational growth of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is attributed to the management skills of Ervin Duggan, who has been the president and chief executive officer of the organization for only three years. Duggan conceived the plan to improve management of assets and seek out well-financed partners. This plan resulted in a 35% increase of PBS's 1997 annual operating budget amounting to $52 million without increasing membership dues.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Since the beginning of his career, Elvis Presley has had an extensive cultural impact. According to Rolling Stone Magazine, "it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop." A PBS documentary described Presley as "an American music giant of the 20th century who single-handedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s." His recordings, dance moves, attitude and clothing came to be seen as embodiments of rock and roll. His music was heavily influenced by African-American blues, Christian gospel, and Southern country. Presley sang both hard driving rockabilly, rock and roll dance songs and ballads, laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers. African-American performers like Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and Fats Domino came to national prominence after Presley's acceptance among mass audiences of White American teenagers. Singers like Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison and others immediately followed in his wake. John Lennon later observed, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Public access television is one of three types of PEG (Public Educational Governmental) media access within a municipality.In the United States, public access is an alternative system of television which originated as a response to disenchantment with the commercial broadcasting system, and in order to fulfil some of the social potential of cable television. Public Access was created to provide a free-speech forum, open to all on a first-come, first-served basis without discrimination or favoritism based on content. It should be noted that the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is not public access television and has no official connection with PEG. PBS is funded publicly and by private grants and contributions, as well as an element of commercial sponsorship. PEG is funded by cable television companies through subscription fees, and also by private grants and contributions. PBS does not regularly provide free use of facilities to produce programming. ...

Excerpt: The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is an American non-profit public broadcasting television service with 354 member TV stations in the United States which hold collective ownership. However, its operations are largely funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Its headquarters are in Arlington, Virginia. PBS is the most prominent provider of programming to U.S. public television stations, distributing series such as PBS NewsHour, Masterpiece, and Frontline. Since the mid-2000s, Roper polls commissioned by PBS have consistently placed the service as America's most trusted national institution. However, PBS is not responsible for all programming carried on public TV stations; in fact, stations usually receive a large portion of their content (including most pledge drive specials) from third-party sources, such as American Public Television, NETA, and independent producers. This distinction is a frequent source of viewer confusion. PBS also has a subsidiary called National Datacast (NDI), which offers datacasting services via member stations. This helps PBS and its member stations earn extra revenue. PBS logo (October 4, 1971 to September 30, 1984)PBS was founded on October 5, 1970, at which time it took over many of the functions of its predecessor, National Educational Television (NET), which later merged with station WNDT, Newar...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=23683 ...

From the supplier: The managers of two public radio stations in Columbia, MO, have been engaged in a word war in the press since early Sep. 1996. Mike Dunn of KBIA and Steve Spencer of KOPN have been accusing each other of imitating the other's radio station's programming format in a bid to expand listener base. The result of the feud has been bad public relations for their radio stations. They have only angered listeners at a time when government funding of public radio is waning.
