  • A Producer's Handbook

    A Producer's Handbook

    DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice.

    Media Relations Guide

    MMediaedia RelationsRelations GuideGuide Tips on working with the media and increasing awareness of your school activities program Published by the Kansas State High School Activities Association PO Box 495, Topeka, KS 66601-0495 Why Media Relations? It doesn’t necessarily take a winning program to gain good, positive exposure in the news media. Positive exposure is often the result of good preparation and providing media rep- resentatives with information and/or ideas they need and then allowing them to do their job. Professional sport teams, college and university athletic programs and their conferences spend huge amounts of money each year to publicize their teams or sport. Because of their efforts, it has become more and more important that public and private schools work dili- gently with the media, helping them get your story in print or on the air. Nurturing these relationships with the media can help develop a supportive voice in the newsroom which can speak positively about your school and which can make a difference in what is printed or broadcast, and what isn’t. The key to getting your story out is having an effective, well-organized method of working with media requests as well as getting them interested in what you have to offer. We hope this brochure can be of some use to you in doing this effectively without necessarily having a large staff or committing a lot of money to the task. SPORTS BROADCASTING CODE OF ETHICS 1. Written permission must be obtained from the high school Principal a reasonable time before the broadcast date.

Not With a Bang But a Whimper: Broadcast License Renewal and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 Liu LEvi In 1969, public outrage derailed a bill providing that the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") could not con- sider competing applications for broadcast licenses unless it first found that renewal of the incumbent's license would not be in the public interest.' Citizen groups claimed that eliminating comparative challenges to incumbent broadcasters was "back-door racism" and reinforced the under-representation of minorities in broadcasting.2 They decried the bill as a "vicious ... attempt to limit the efforts of the black community to challenge the prevailing racist practices of the vast majority of TV stations."3 When the FCC thereupon issued a policy statement adopting a similar reform of the comparative renewal process, it was reversed by * Professor of Law, University of Miami School of Law.

    Broadcasting Department of Broadcasting and Journalism, College of Fine Arts and Communication

    WESTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY Broadcasting Department of Broadcasting and Journalism, College of Fine Arts and Communication Program of Study The Department of Broadcasting and Journalism offers a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcasting and Sports Broadcasting. The broadcasting curriculum is designed to meet the challenges of media convergence by providing multi-platform production skills to students. Students operate an FM broadcast station, WIUS and produce programming for wiutv3, using state-of-the-art, high-definition television facilities. Graduates of the program enter various careers in television, radio, cable, satellite and post-production operations, including directing, producing, reporting, on-air talent programming, sales, advertising, sports and post-production. News/Performance The news/performance track focuses on the preparation of students for careers in front of the camera and/or microphone. The wiutv3 station is the outlet for live, local television newscasts. Students learn to gather news, cover news events, edit news packages and produce and direct half-hour newscasts that reach Macomb and McDonough County viewers. There are opportunities to be reporters and anchors (news, weather and sports), as well as to produce and direct newscasts. WIUS-FM is the music, news and sports outlet on the radio side. On-air shifts are available to all majors every semester. WIUS-FM and wiutv3 are student-run, under the guidance of faculty and staff. Production The production track is designed for students interested in working in video, audio and/or film production and post-production. The program is hands-on and students work with faculty and peers in an interactive environment to learn production and editing skills.

    Renewal Primer for Television Stations for Renewal Cycle Beginning June 2020

    Renewal Primer for Television Stations for Renewal Cycle Beginning June 2020 March 2020 This primer provides detailed guidance on the television station license renewal process.1 Please have those involved in the license renewal process at your station take some time to review these materials. Stations must begin their post-filing announcements on the date that their renewal application is filed. Note that we are happy to set up a call with our clients to walk through this process and answer any questions. We are also glad to handle the mechanics of filing renewal applications through the FCC’s “new” Licensing Management System (“LMS”). SECTION I: THE BASICS The deadline by which a station is required to file its license renewal application is determined by the state in which the station is licensed. Attachment A contains a state-by-state list of license renewal application filing dates and license expiration dates.2 After filing its license renewal application, a station must air post-filing announcements for one month.3 Pre-filing announcements are no longer required.4 Section II of this memorandum provides detailed guidance on the required post-filing announcements, the specific text required, and sample statements for certifying compliance with the public announcement requirements (Attachments B-E). The license renewal application must be filed electronically through the FCC’s Licensing Management System (LMS) platform using FCC Form 2100/Schedule 303-S (“Form 303-S”). A sample copy of the Form 303-S from LMS is available at Attachment F, along with the FCC’s instructions for the form.
