  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.

  • 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.
