CED Digest, Vol. 6 ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ CED Digest Vol. 6 No. 1 1/6/2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20 Years Ago In CED History: January 7, 1981: * Figures published by the U.S. automobile industry showed that domestically manufactured passenger car sales fell 20% behind the level of the previous year, making 1980 the industry's worst year since 1961. January 8, 1981: * Winter '81 Consumer Electronics Show opens in Las Vegas, Nevada. * RCA PRESS RELEASE: Largest Display of VideoDisc Players Marks RCA's Return to CES Show RCA's return to the Consumer Electronics Show was marked by an impressive display devoted totally to the forthcoming introduction of the "SelectaVision" VideoDisc system. A series of eight 14-foot towers held 84 RCA VideoDisc players in the largest demonstration ever of the new medium that provides picture and sound on a disc. Eight demonstration areas for public access to the RCA player were also part of the display. The programming material to be available in RCA's opening catalog was displayed on television screens connected to the VideoDisc players. Two pylons billboarded the VideoDisc which included movies, family entertainment, classics and special interest programs. The RCA "SelectaVision" VideoDisc system will be introduced by 5,000 television dealers in a National Demonstration Week beginning March 22. The optional retail price of RCA's initial player will be $499.95. The national introduction of "the most important new consumer electronic product since color television will mark the beginning of a true personal video communications business," Jack K. Sauter, vice president and general manager of RCA's Consumer Electronics Division has said. "The change from mass to personal communications will be more noticeable as new forms of electronic entertainment reach the market. With an important new video product such as the video disc player, the hours devoted to video in the home will expand because of 24-hour availability of diverse visual entertainment," he predicted. RCA believes that video disc players will appeal to a broad market segment "that is interested in affordable, simple-to-operate entertainment in the home," Mr. Sauter said. "Our customer for video discs is clearly the average family, the same broad segment that built the television business to 1980's level of nearly 16 million annual unit sales." Production of the SFT100, RCA's initial video disc player, has begun at the company's Bloomington, Indiana plant. Video discs have been in production since last summer at RCA's Rockville Road facility in Indianapolis. Initial players for training purposes have been shipped to RCA distributors. Mr. Sauter said RCA's extensive market research indicates that the video disc has far more universal appeal than video cassette recorders, for example, "because it is family oriented, appeals to women as well as men, and spans the entire spectrum of income and occupations." The company has forecast that the video disc business could grow to $7.5 billion by the end of the 10th year. The largest advertising and promotional campaign ever scheduled for a new RCA product will begin on March 16 to build consumer interest in the national introduction of RCA's video disc system the following Sunday, March 22. "Ease of use, depth of software and affordability will be the key points communicated to the public," Mr. Sauter said. "While the RCA system is based upon extremely esoteric elements of electronics and physics, the end result is a product that any consumer from 8 to 80 years old can use right out of the shipping carton," he said. Providing up to two hours of entertainment on a single disc, the RCA "CED" capacitance electronic disc system, which has been under development since 1963, is designed to combine sound and pictures on a disc that can be played through any brand of NTSC television receiver. As easy to operate as an audio record player, the RCA video disc player is extremely compact, weighs but 20 pounds, and uses only 35 watts of energy. Each "CED" disc can provide up to one hour of visual entertainment on each side of the disc. The stylus used in the RCA video disc player is so unique that special computer- controlled processing equipment had to be devised for its manufacture. The stylus tip measures just 1/10,000 of an inch and tracking force is extremely light, only 65 thousandths of a gram. The high performance "DuraLife" diamond stylus is designed for years of service under normal use. RCA's goal is to establish the "CED" video disc system as a worldwide standard for video disc products. To date, color TV brands representing over 50 percent of the United States color TV market have indicated their intention of introducing video disc players based on the RCA system, including Zenith, JC Penney, Sears, Sanyo, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Radio Shack. CBS, Inc. has also announced plans to manufacture and market "CED" discs. Mr. Sauter said that RCA's most recent market research study indicated over four million American TV households, seven percent of all homes with color TV, would be interested in purchasing a video disc player during the initial marketing period.RCA expects to sell at least 200,000 players and two million discs bearing its own brand in 1981. Noting that black-and-white TV, color TV, and VCR players fell well below that figure in their introductory year, Mr. Sauter said video disc players "will reach a higher sales level in the first year than any other major video product in the history of the industry."

Lederer is found guilty on charges of bribery and Conspiracy relating to the Abscam investigation. * Future CED titles in widespread theatrical release: Stir Crazy, Seems Like Old Times.

We were living in American Samoa. TV was practically non-existent because of the poor reception, etc. Video tape players were out but were horribly expensive. One store in Pago Pago had this heretofore unheard of new CED system and six movies. The price was much better so we bought it. We watched the movies over and over again - our favorite was MASH.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • François Truffaut's Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-Viewed
    FILMHISTORIA Online Vol. 29, núms. 1-2 (2019) · ISSN: 2014-668X François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim and the French New Wave, Re-viewed ROBERT J. CARDULLO University of Michigan Abstract Truffaut’s early protagonists, like many of those produced by the New Wave, were rebels or misfits who felt stifled by conventional social definitions. His early cinematic style was as anxious to rip chords as his characters were. Unlike Godard, Truffaut went on in his career to commit himself, not to continued experiment in film form or radical critique of visual imagery, but to formal themes like art and life, film and fiction, and art and education. This article reconsiders a film that embodies such themes, in addition to featuring characters who feel stifled by conventional social definitions: Jules and Jim. Keywords: François Truffaut; French film; New Wave; Jules and Jim; Henri- Pierre Roché Resumen Los primeros protagonistas de Truffaut, como muchos de los producidos por la New Wave, eran rebeldes o inadaptados que se sentían agobiados por las convenciones sociales convencionales. Su estilo cinematográfico temprano estaba tan ansioso por romper moldes como sus personajes. A diferencia de Godard, Truffaut continuó en su carrera comprometiéndose, no a seguir experimentando en forma de película o crítica radical de las imágenes visuales, sino a temas formales como el arte y la vida, el cine y la ficción, y el arte y la educación. Este artículo reconsidera una película que encarna dichos temas, además de presentar personajes que se sienten ahogados: Jules y Jim. Palabras clave: François Truffaut, cine francés, New Wave; Jules and Jim, Henri-Pierre Roché.
