G The BG News 'A Commitment to Excellence" Thursday, January 27, 1994 Bowling Green, Ohio Volume 76, Issue 86 Collective bargaining debated Advantages, disadvantages of unionization discussed by Katie Simmont News staff writer With only two weeks until voting, the collective bargaining is- sue is still in the debating stages. Wednesday night, that is exact- ly what Ryan Tweney and Milton Hakel did. The two men debated the issue of unionization and non- unionization for the University faculty. 'Tar too little open discussions are going into the issue of col- lective bargaining, and tonight we're going start," Tweney said. "What it all comes down to is what is good for the University is good for me, and on the same line what is good for me is good for the University." The focus of Tweney's discussion centered around the bene- fits of a organized union to the faculty of the University. In the recent University's history, Tweney pointed out three trends which have affected the role of the faculty members. He said those trends included: the major growth in bureau- cracy, the political climate which places a large emphasis on productivity, and the management culture which ultimately looks at the cost cutting in the labor area. Tweney added that having a union would increase the salary for faculty members, ultimately saving them money in the long run. Hakel, representing the side opposed to unionization, said the ideas of a union are not a guarantee and are promises that may not always deliver. The BG Ncwa/Rolf Wtltzner Hakel argued that the impacts of unionizing would affect Psychology professor Milton Hakel presents reasons not to form a zation as the two men debated the Issue In the Business Adminis- several aspects of the University including issues involving the faculty union while fellow psychology professor Ryan Twcney, tration Building. looks on Wednesday night.

In this article we will explore how HBO came to legitimatise a contemporary television culture through producing distinct divisions ad infinitum, framed as being rooted outside mainstream commercial television production. In creating incessant divisions in genre, authorship and aesthetics, HBO incorporates artistic norms and principles of evaluation and puts them into circulation as a succession of oppositions— oppositions that we will explore throughout this paper.

Television and Cultural Value 8 2. Transforming Television Production 23 3. Serious Television and Genre Hybridity 38 Works Cited 51 ii Abstract “Quality TV”: The reinvention of U.S. television This thesis examines the rise to prominence of a new form of “quality television” that has appeared in the U.S. since the 1990s. There are competing and sometimes conflicting ways to define “quality television”, depending on different histories and prioritising different characteristics - sometimes production methods, sometimes viewing and distribution practices, and sometimes genre hybridity and transformation. For each, however, the 1990s is a watershed decade. The mainstreaming of cable television, the new dominance of video and then DVD collections of series, a decline in broadcast television’s audience share and the rapid expansion of the internet as an entertainment media option together created new opportunities for a more ‘cinematic’ television that hailed an active audience interested in formally and narratively challenging television. Every account of quality television turns on claims to exceed and subvert the expectations of existing television formats and genres while also using those to attract an audience. This is famously exemplified by the 90s HBO slogan “It’s not TV.
