  • WHCA): Videotapes of Public Affairs, News, and Other Television Broadcasts, 1973-77
    Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library White House Communications Agency (WHCA): Videotapes of Public Affairs, News, and Other Television Broadcasts, 1973-77 WHCA selectively created, or acquired, videorecordings of news and public affairs broadcasts from the national networks CBS, NBC, and ABC; the public broadcast station WETA in Washington, DC; and various local station affiliates. Program examples include: news special reports, national presidential addresses and press conferences, local presidential events, guest interviews of administration officials, appearances of Ford family members, and the 1976 Republican Convention and Ford-Carter debates. In addition, WHCA created weekly compilation tapes of selected stories from network evening news programs. Click here for more details about the contents of the "Weekly News Summary" tapes All WHCA videorecordings are listed in the table below according to approximate original broadcast date. The last entries, however, are for compilation tapes of selected television appearances by Mrs. Ford, 1974-76. The tables are based on WHCA’s daily logs. “Tape Length” refers to the total recording time available, not actual broadcast duration. Copyright Notice: Although presidential addresses and very comparable public events are in the public domain, the broadcaster holds the rights to all of its own original content. This would include, for example, reporter commentaries and any supplemental information or images. Researchers may acquire copies of the videorecordings, but use of the copyrighted portions is restricted to private study and “fair use” in scholarship and research under copyright law (Title 17 U.S. Code).

  • Three Years After the FCC Slapped
    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015 Christmas format rode higher ratings wave in 2014. Santa spiked the holiday punch bowl with a little more ratings juice in 2014. The average Christmas station notched a 9.6 share in the 6+ demo in Nielsen’s Holiday 2014 survey, up a full share from 2013’s 8.6. The numbers reflect the 11 stations in non-embedded Day One PPM markets that went all-Christmas in 2014 and 2013. Of them, nine posted a higher 6+ share in 2014, two held steady and none declined. With the majority of PPM ratings not coming until later this week, it’s too early to know if the higher trend will hold up across all PPM markets. One likely reason for the bigger bump is that the 2014 survey, which covered December 4-31, reflected one more day of Christmas programming than in 2013. Some of the increases were dramatic, putting on ice, for now, the notion that the seasonal format has peaked. Holiday ratings for iHeartMedia AC “93.9 My FM” WLIT, Chicago were 24% higher than in 2013 (11.6-14.2). What’s more, the station nearly doubled its December share. WLIT wasn’t alone in posting double-digit, year-over-year holiday ratings gains: CBS Radio’s classic hits KLUV, Dallas (98.7) padded its share by 22% (7.2-8.8) while Entercom AC KOIT, San Francisco (96.5) grew 8.9-10.6, a 19% gain over 2013.

MATC has withstood and has even triumphed over immense challenges in the past, including World War II – when the college excelled in its response to those conditions. I am certain we will excel again, though we are waging a different kind of war. Thank you to our frontline essential employees who are here every day to make sure we can continue our operations. Thank you to all of our employees for dedication and commitment to our students, the college and the community.
