I. Introduction The Notice ofInquiry was issued to receive direct input on "how broadcasters are serving the interests and needs oftheir communities" and, in particular, whether the FCC should "adopt new policies, practices, or rules designed directly to promote localism in broadcast television and radio; and what those policies, practices, or rules should be."} The NOI specifically seeks comments on several discrete policy goals and asks whether market forces are sufficient to meet these goals or whether regulation is needed to ensure that these goals are met. While Disney is the ultimate corporate parent ofthe ABC Owned Television and Radio stations, the stations themselves are operated locally. The ABC Owned Television I Localism NOI, at para. 7. Station Group consists often television stations in the following markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston, Fresno, Raleigh-Durham, Flint, and Toledo. ABC, Inc. is an indirect subsidiary ofThe Walt Disney Company and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, over seventy commercial radio broadcast stations in the United States ("ABC Radio"). The ABC Television and Radio stations are committed to localism, separate and apart from any FCC regulation. These comments highlight only a few ofthe ways in which the ABC stations operate in the local interest, and even the extensive attachments to these comments represent only a sampling ofthe stations' localism efforts.

  • CREATING the MODERN SOUTH: POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT in the TAR HEEL STATE, 1945 to the PRESENT by DANIEL PAUL MENESTRES KARI FREDE
    CREATING THE MODERN SOUTH: POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE TAR HEEL STATE, 1945 TO THE PRESENT by DANIEL PAUL MENESTRES KARI FREDERICKSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE C. RABLE LISA LINDQUIST DORR DAVID T. BEITO GORDON E. HARVEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Daniel Paul Menestres 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation describes the process of political development in North Carolina during the twentieth century. Beginning with the creation of the “solid South” in the early twentieth century, North Carolina’s unique one-party system featured a spirited rivalry within the Democratic Party that was largely absent throughout the South. The political rivalry between conservative and progressive Democrats profoundly influenced the course of North Carolina’s political development. Following the Second World War, the interaction between state and national politics played a significant role in the development of the state’s two-party system. By the end of the twentieth century, a competitive two-party system supplanted one-party politics. Historians have written extensively about political development in the twentieth-century South, but there are few state-specific studies focusing on political change in the modern South. Using manuscripts, newspapers, and interviews, this dissertation traces the process by which one southern state gradually cast aside one-party politics and developed a strong, competitive two- party system. As such, this research provides insight into the development of two-party politics in the modern South.
