LIMITATIONS ON COPYRIGHT PROTECTION FOR FORMAT IDEAS IN REALITY TELEVISION PROGRAMMING I. INTRODUCTION Television networks constantly compete to find and produce the next big hit. The shifting economic landscape forged by increasing competition between and among ever-proliferating media platforms, however, places extreme pressure on network profit margins. Fully scripted hour-long dramas and half-hour comedies have become increasingly costly, while delivering diminishing ratings in the key demographics most valued by advertisers. It therefore is not surprising that the reality television genre has become a staple of network schedules. New reality shows are churned out each season.1 The main appeal, of course, is that they are cheap to make and addictive to watch. Networks are able to take ordinary people and create a show without having to pay “A-list” actor salaries and hire teams of writers.2 Many of the most popular programs are unscripted, meaning lower cost for higher ratings. Even where the ratings are flat, such shows are capable of generating higher profit margins through advertising directed to large groups of more readily targeted viewers.

  • Progress-Ish
    Paige Dahlke 3/5/15 Media 160 Progress-ish Primetime television has always been a place where white America could feel safe and comfortable. The wholesome families on TV served as an affirmation that the American dream was an achievable reality, but as Marlon Riggs would agree, this “reality” was actually a myth. Even though African Americans were eventually allowed to be included in the mythical family, the odds of them being portrayed realistically was little to none. Race issues were whitewashed from the realm of primetime TV, even during the Civil Rights Movement -- a realistic depiction of which could only be found on the news. Few had the guts to present audiences with so much as a semi realistic version of society, and those that did never found the funding to last longer than a season or two. Reality has proved unable to entertain the masses in the past, but does that still hold true today? Not completely, but after examining the contemporary African American family sitcom, Black-ish, it is evident that television is making its way in that direction. While its portrayal of the mythical American family is reminiscent of The Cosby Show, it also confronts race issues head-on. Created by Kenya Barris, Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson as Andre Johnson: a successful African American man who questions whether the wealth and success of him and his wife has caused their family to forget their race. The comedy fulfills the historically necessary qualifications for its ratings to do well; it represents the American dream and embraces the middle-class value that if you want to succeed and be happy, you have to work hard.

  • Trucks Encircle ABC, CBS, NBC, Challenge 'Liberal' Media to 'Tell the Truth'
    10/22/2015 Trucks Encircle ABC, CBS, NBC, Challenge ‘Liberal’ Media to ‘Tell The Truth’ Published on CNS News (http://www.cnsnews.com (http://www.cnsnews.com)) Trucks Encircle ABC, CBS, NBC, Challenge ‘Liberal’ Media to ‘Tell The Truth’ (CNSNews.com) – Four billboard trucks bearing the message “Stop the Liberal Bias, Tell the Truth!” began circling the Manhattan headquarters of ABC, CBS, NBC, and the New York Times on Friday. The trucks will do so for eight hours every weekday for the next four weeks as part of a campaign run by the Media Research Center, a watchdog group that analyzes the media for liberal bias. Similar trucks also are operating in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, passing the offices of the broadcast networks, the Washington Post, CNN, the Newseum, the National Press Club and Politico, and ads about the campaign are running on numerous Web sites and on conservative talk radio programs. L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center (MRC), the parent organization of CNSNews.com, said the goal of this 2010 “Tell the Truth!” campaign (http://www.mrcaction.org/558/petition.asp?PID=26339836 ) [1] “is simple: to force the liberals in the media to stop pushing an agenda and just tell the truth.” The “liberal media news networks” need to report the facts about “massive growth in government and its control over our lives, and about spending, deficits and debt,” he told CNSNews.com. “They also need to tell the truth about the efforts to turn our country into a European-style Socialist state.” In a video about the campaign on the MRC Web site, Bozell said (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=l_MeVF7g_u8) [2], “We can’t stop our efforts, we’ve got to maintain that intensity of letting the American people know exactly the fact that the socialist agenda of the Obama administration is being pushed by those same people who then look at you in the camera and say, ‘I’m nothing but an objective journalist.’ No, they’re not.
