Although I will try to make this brief, the depth of my gratitude to you all has no limit. To all my friends, family and co-graduate students for your constant encouragement and understanding, I say thank you. You have been so patient, especially listening to me endlessly go on about my topic. My thanks also go out to Dr. Matt McCallister from Penn State who helped me clarify my thinking about this entire subject. Also, I want to thank Dr. Dale Kunkel and Newton Minow who took the time to respond to my emails as I was trying to research this project. I cannot tell you what it means to me to hear from all of you about this subject. My appreciation goes to all of the faculty and staff at TCU who have helped me through this process. I could not have done any of this without your help. A special thanks to Dr. Tommy Thomason and Dr. Julie O’Neil. Tommy – I would not be in graduate school at all if it had not been for you.

  • Disney Channel’S That’S So Raven Is Classified in BARB As ‘Entertainment Situation Comedy US’
    Children’s television output analysis 2003-2006 Publication date: 2nd October 2007 ©Ofcom Contents • Introduction • Executive summary • Children’s subgenre range • Children’s subgenre range by channel • Children’s subgenre range by daypart: PSB main channels • Appendix ©Ofcom Introduction • This annex is published as a supplement to Section 2 ‘Broadcaster Output’ of Ofcom’s report The future of children’s television programming. • It provides detail on individual channel output by children’s sub-genre for the PSB main channels, the BBC’s dedicated children’s channels, CBBC and CBeebies, and the commercial children’s channels, as well as detail on genre output by day-part for the PSB main channels. (It does not include any children’s output on other commercial generalist non-terrestrial channels, such as GMTV,ABC1, Sky One.) • This output analysis examines the genre range within children’s programming and looks at how this range has changed since 2003. It is based on the BARB Children’s genre classification only and uses the BARB subgenres of Children’s Drama, Factual, Cartoons, Light entertainment/quizzes, Pre-school and Miscellaneous. • It is important to note that the BARB genre classifications have some drawbacks: – All programme output that is targeted at children is not classified as Children’s within BARB. Some shows targeted at younger viewers, either within children’s slots on the PSB main channels or on the dedicated children’s channels are not classified as Children’s. For example, Disney Channel’s That’s so raven is classified in BARB as ‘Entertainment Situation Comedy US’. This output analysis is not based on the total output of each specific children’s channel, e.g.

  • June 19, 2019 FCC FACT SHEET* Children's Television Programming
    June 19, 2019 * FCC FACT SHEET Children’s Television Programming Rules; Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking – MB Docket Nos. 18-202 and 17-105 Background: Adopted to implement the Children’s Television Act of 1990, the FCC’s children’s programming rules require commercial and noncommercial broadcast television licensees to serve the educational and informational needs of children through both their overall programming and programming specifically designed to serve such needs (i.e., Core Programming). In 2018, as part of its Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative, the Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to revise the children’s television programming rules to modify outdated requirements and to give broadcasters greater flexibility in serving the educational and informational needs of children. The Commission noted the vast changes in how children watch video programming and the large increase in children’s educational and information programming available from non-broadcast sources. What the Report and Order Would Do: • Expand the 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. time frame during which Core Programming must be aired to allow broadcast stations to begin airing Core Programming one hour earlier, at 6:00 a.m. • Require that a majority of Core Programming be regularly scheduled weekly programming but permit broadcast stations to air a limited amount of programming that is not regularly scheduled weekly programming, such as educational specials, and have it count as Core Programming. • Require that a majority of Core Programming be at least 30 minutes in length but permit broadcast stations to air a limited amount of short-form programming, including public service announcements (PSAs) and interstitials, and have it count as Core Programming.

New Employees July 2017 Summer is coming to a close, and we have all been very busy during July and the first two weeks of August. As you know, we have finished Tamara Sanford | Producer up the July ratings period. We had some success and a few wins in the morning, and finished second in the evening newscasts. We certainly John Yelland | Web Producer have our work cut out for us with Fox bringing the tough competition in the morning and KSL being our strong competitor in the evening Hannah Knowles | Web Producer newscasts. Loren Brewer moved from PT Assignment Desk Editor to Early We have achieved our revenue budget for July and August for all our Morning News Producer combined TV stations. Our performance in the sales arena is clearly #1. Nathan Dowdle moved from Sports EP to Early Morning EP As you may know, this summer brought many employee changes to the station. We all know the only constant is change. This is one of my Ashley Beyer moved from Producer favorite quotes on change: “The pessimist complains about the wind; to Fresh Living Producer the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” Matt Komma moved from Creative Services to Sports We are currently in the process of filling open positions at the station with an opening or two in each department. We also have moved current employees into new jobs. By promoting from within, the station and the employee are in a win-win situation.

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 ) ) Children’s Television Obligations of Digital ) MM Docket No. 00-167 Television Broadcasters ) ) REPLY COMMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS 1771 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20036 (202) 429-5430 Marsha J. MacBride Jane E. Mago Jerianne Timmerman October 1, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”) hereby submits its reply to certain comments filed in response to the Commission’s Public Notice regarding the status of children’s television programming. The record in this proceeding does not provide any basis for additional or revised regulations, as basic principles of administrative and constitutional law require. Rather, the record highlights the abundant programming choices available to children. As NAB and others demonstrated in the opening comments, broadcasters today are meeting the educational and informational needs of young viewers through a diverse array of high quality children’s programming and thus fulfilling the goals of the Children’s Television Act of 1990. Further, the myriad children’s programming options offered by commercial broadcasters are supplemented by the child-focused offerings of noncommercial stations, cable and satellite channels and video on-demand, DVDs, and the Internet. The proposals set forth by the Children’s Media Policy Coalition (“CMPC”) in its opening comments would impose on broadcasters burdensome obligations that are unsupported by the record and of questionable legality. Adoption of CMPC’s proposals would require the Commission, among other things, to make subjective judgments about the value of particular educational content, micromanage program scheduling, ignore its traditional definition of “common ownership,” and would compel broadcasters to place certain content on their websites.

  • Children's Television
    Children’s Television: Trends Around the World KODAIRA Sachiko Imaizumi As we enter an age in which children interact with an ever-increasing number of electronic media, it is nonetheless television that remains dominant in chil- dren’s lives. Around the world, there is a remarkable increase in children’s broadcasting: channels devoted to children’s television are being created, and existing channels are giving increasing priority to their programs for children. With rapid changes in society, programs are being developed in various ways to support the growth of children. There are greater opportunities for children worldwide to see these programs. At the same time, the effect of television and other media on children is a topic of serious debate and concern all over the globe. The Prix Jeunesse International marked the fortieth anniversary of this high profile children’s television festival in 2004. In addition, it was the year of the fourth World Summit on Media for Children, held every three years since 1995, which aims to improve the quality of programming and media for chil- dren throughout the world. Japan, meanwhile, celebrated 50 years of televi- sion—including television for children—in 2003, and program planners are now embarking on children’s television design for a new age. This essay presents an analysis of current trends in children’s television around the world, and explores issues for the future.*1 * The following abbreviations are used in the footnotes: HBKN: NHK Hoso Bunka Kenkyujo nenpo [NHK Annual Bulletin of Broadcasting Culture Research]; HKC: Hoso kenkyu to chosa [NHK Monthly Report on Broadcast Research].
