Mr Reynolds phoned to say he was running a little late but should amve soon. He amved approximately 10 minutes after the 2pm meeting time we had set. He was dnving a late model black Lincoln Navigator SUV Lyle Reynolds introduced himself and we began to talk about WXJB. h4r Reynolds ask me if I would consider halting my petition to allocate 244a to Lake City TN in order to support a counter proposal his company intended to file to move WXJB to Knoxville TN in a community called Halls I told him I was determined to proceed with our proposal for Lake City Mr Reynolds indicated to me that he had a deal wth Beulah and Brent Pursifull to buy WXJB for a geat deal more than 1 had offered on the sole condition the station could be move from Harrogate TN to Knoxville I told Mr Reynolds that I did not believe Mrs Pursifull would allow someone to purchase WXTB and then delete the service her son had worked so hard to build (Warren Pursifull had recently passed away and his mother Beulah Pursifull was operating WXJB) Mr Reynolds assured me that she was ok with the arrangement, inhcating it was because of the potenoal to get more money if he was successful in moving it to Knoxville Mr Reynolds ask me “what it would take” for me to discontinue my purslut of the Lake City allocation I told him that it would take a FM signal that would cover the Lake City area. 1 explained to him that the residents of the City of Lake City could not hear their children play basketball on the radio, nor could they hear their children play football, or any community news or any broadcast public service as no one provide or serviced Lake City TN Mr Reynolds ask me if I would consider joining him in his counter proposal if he could arrange for me to get WQLA in LaFollette, whose signal got into the Lake City area, and thus could provide some broadcast service to Lake City. I reminded him that WQLA was a LaFollette station, and that the owner of WQLA had told me that he did not want to sell. Mr Reynolds then politely cautioned me that by joining him 1 could be part of a 4 or 5 million dollar property as that was what he thought it would be worth once moved to Knoxville, and that a Lake City licensed station would not be worth near as much. When 1 ask him why I should join into something that included him, his company, and the Pursifull family and would have to be split, he responded by saying it is better to have part of a big deal that all of a small one He also told me could not disclose who, but his company already had interest from a “major” broadcaster in the property if he was indeed able to move it to Knoxville I finally told Mr Reynolds that the only way that 1 would consider stopping pursuit of the Lake City allocation would be if he, or someone offered to buy my small AM station in Clinton TN for a sizable investment, and thus I would retired from radio Mr Reynolds said he thought that his company would be interested in purchasing my AM station, but that he had to get wth his financial advisers to make sure that they would still be able to pay the Pursifulls the money for WB,and me for WYSH and still make a large enough sum on reselling the station once moved to Knoxville. 1 ask him to make his offer to me in wnting, and that I would include a non compete clause if he would like.

  • The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
    -iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.

  • Itn Foi Act Submission 2015
    ITN SUBMISSION TO INDEPENDENT COMMISSION ON FREEDOM OF INFORMATION CALL FOR EVIDENCE ITN welcomes the Independent Commission on Freedom of Information’s call for evidence on this important and relatively new democratic right. ITN is the UK’s biggest independent producer of commercial broadcast news. We believe we are unique worldwide as a company that provides fully-formed and distinct news programming for all three Public Service Broadcasters – ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. ITN also makes investigative programming through our ITN Productions unit. As an organisation, through our news and current affairs output, ITN has on many occasions reported important stories that have had significant public, institutional and even legislative impact. Below we have detailed specific examples of some recent investigations that would not have been uncovered without Freedom of Information (FOI). SUMMARY: Since the Freedom of Information Act was implemented in 2005, FOI has become an integral part of journalistic practice in the UK as a means of accessing information that would be otherwise unavailable. On many occasions information which is in the public interest has been brought to light through the use of FOI which has resulted in organisational and even legislative change. There is widespread concern amongst the media that the Commission is the precursor to a move by the Government to weaken FOI by adding new restrictions on the release of information, strengthening the ministerial veto and adding new fees. As such, ITN is a signatory to the Media Lawyer Association’s (MLA) response to this call for evidence and we echo the legal arguments made by the MLA and refer the Commission to that response.
