DESCRIPTORS *Centralization; *Childrens Television; Comparative Analysis; Mergers; *Programming (Broadcast); Television Research IDENTIFIERS California (Los Angeles); Federal Communications Commission ABSTRACT The Federal Communications Commission is currently considering modifying or eliminating existing media ownership rules. Children's advocates are concerned that any changes to these rules could negatively affect the already limited amount and types of programming available for children. Children Now conducted the first study to examine the availability and diversity of children programming in an increasingly consolidated media marketplace. Los Angeles was selected as a case study for this research because it is the second largest media market in the country, and two duopolies now exist among its television stations. The study compared the children's programming schedules from 1998, when the market's seven major commercial broadcast television stations were owned by seven different companies, to 2003, after consolidation reduced the number to five. The findings suggest that changes to the current ownership policies will have a serious impact on the availability and diversity of children's programming.

  • FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Three Year Review
    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MASS MEDIA BUREAU POLICY AND RULES DIVISION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20554 Three Year Review of the Implementation of the Children’s Television Rules and Guidelines 1997-1999 January 2001 Introduction 1. In 1996, the Commission revised its children’s television rules implementing the Children’s Television Act of 1990 and adopted “core” programming guidelines.1 In the Children’s Television Report and Order the Commission stated that it would monitor the broadcast industry's children's educational programming performance for three years based upon the quarterly Children's Television Programming Reports (FCC Form 398) that licensees are required to file with the Commission.2 The Commission stated that it would conduct a review of these reports at the end of this three-year period and take appropriate action as necessary to ensure that stations are complying with the rules and guidelines. To supplement this review, the Commission also directed the staff to conduct selected individual station audits during the three-year period to assess station performance under the children's educational and informational programming rules and guidelines. 2. This “Three Year Review of the Implementation of the Children’s Television Rules and Guidelines, 1997-1999” (“Report”) by the Mass Media Bureau's Policy and Industry Analysis Branch, Policy and Rules Division, provides information to the Commission regarding how the broadcasting industry is doing in the area of children’s educational and informational programming. This Report examines a large sample of stations in order to assess the industry’s performance. Areas of examination include broadcasters’ public information initiatives, aspects of the definition of programming “specifically designed” to serve children’s educational and informational needs (i.e., “core” programming), and the three-hour processing guideline.

The setting is the fictional town of Bahia BayCalifornia. The theme song was performed by Wayne Brady. The show lasted from February 26to February 29for 4 seasons and 76 episodes. Each episode takes The Weekenders during the weekend. Friday usually sets up the conflict for the episode, Saturday escalates or develops it, and the climactic third The Weekenders is usually what happens on Sunday. The implied "ticking clock" is used to signify that the problem must be solved before school on Monday. Unlike most children's cartoons and teenager's television programs, The Weekenders rarely touches upon The Weekenders aspects of school life. Furthermore, because The Weekenders is the weekend, the characters are not supposed to be in school, and thus they are allowed to partake in activities that are not school-related such as playing arcade games without a logical error. The Weekenders Recess chose to set the episodes during the school's designated hour of playtime for a similar effect. It should be noted, however, that in The Weekendershomework is occasionally the instigator of conflict, making some episodes related to the characters' academic lives. The episodes The Weekenders tell one story for the full-time duration as in "Nevermore," a Halloween special or two stories that each take up half of The Weekenders episode.

  • 'TOON IN, 'TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION and the SHAPING of AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutt
    ‘TOON IN, ‘TOON OUT: AMERICAN TELEVISION ANIMATION AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE, 1948-1980 by David Perlmutter A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Joint Master’s Program – Departments of History The University of Manitoba / The University of Winnipeg Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Copyright © 2010 by David Perlmutter ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a systematic study of significant American television animation programs produced between 1948 and 1980, with special attention given to selected works produced by three influential studios: Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward and Filmation. It considers how outside forces such as television network censorship, grassroots political activism, and other social and political forces served to limit how the genre developed, and the extent to which producers chose to test the limits to get their points across. It provides a discussion of masculine images in television animation of the 1950s and 1960s, and of the reactions of television animation producers to outside concerns regarding violent imagery in children’s programming, and the threat of censorship related to this, in the 1970s. My thesis demonstrates that television animation producers, as a result of the need to remain actively involved in production, were forced to change and adapt with the times around them. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through this endeavor. I have appreciated their support especially in those times when I doubted my abilities, because they never did. I particularly want to thank Professor Churchill and Professor Elvins for giving me their advice and guidance in the long and arduous process of conceiving the draft.
