Malone August 2008 This thesis titled Changing Definitions of ‘Educational’ in Children’s Television from ABC/123 to I Love You/You Love Me: The Unintended Consequences of the Three-Hour Rule by CAITLIN E. MALONE has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Norma Pecora Professor of Media Arts and Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT MALONE, CAITLIN E., M.A., August 2008, Telecommunication Changing Definitions of ‘Educational’ in Children’s Television from ABC/123 to I Love You/You Love Me: The Unintended Consequences of the Three-Hour Rule (110 pp.) Director of Thesis: Norma Pecora This thesis examines the children’s programming being aired by ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX owned and operated stations in Manhattan, New York in compliance with the Three-Hour Rule during the first quarter of 2008. A case study of WABC, WNBC, WCBS, and WNYW comparing children’s programming before the Children’s Television Act, after the Children’s Television Act, and after the Three-Hour Rule revealed that the Three-Hour Rule has not brought significant changes in the amount of programming for children, but that more prosocial programming was produced as a result of the regulation.

On March 8, the Province of Nova Scotia introduced Bill 85 to amend Chapter 18 of the Municipal Government Act respecting Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM). The Municipality of the District of Guysborough feels the new act, if imposed, will negatively impact all the province’s municipalities. “Right now, it’s a level playing fi eld,” said Guysborough Warden Vernon Pitts. “We know the rules and we do every- thing we can to stay within those rules, and we have. When the rules change halfway through the game, it’s not good for anyone, municipal units, as well as any proponents that are coming forward with projects.” If the CBRM request is granted, Pitts said Guysborough will ask for the same consideration. “If the province is going to grant that for one, it should be granted for all,” said Pitts. “I would far sooner see it not granted at all. That would be my fi rst choice. Second choice is, if you’re going to do it, let’s be fair here and do it for everyone.” Photo by Melanie Holder Strait Area Ground Search and Rescue hosted a map and compass course last weekend at their headquarters in Monas- Continued on page 2 tery.
