    Localism and Independence at Viacom Television Stations Group Stations Executive Summary Viacom Television Stations Group (VTSG) comprises 35 full-service television stations in some 27 markets around the country whose central focus is service to the local community. Sixteen of these stations are affiliated with the CBS Network, 18 with the UPN Network and one is independent. Each station is managed and operated by a local team that is committed to serving its local community by broadcasting programming covering local public affairs, local emergencies, local politics and local civics and culture. In addition, off-air, VTSG stations and their employees are actively involved in community activities and community events by participating in and donating to thousands of community and charitable events. The following nearly 200 pages contain only highlights of the ways in which VTSG stations serve their local communities. For example, with respect to local news, the summary shows that VTSG dedicates hundreds of hours of airtime each week and spends hundreds of millions of dollars providing its viewers with high quality local news, in addition to the hundreds of hours of national CBS News aired each week on VTSG stations affiliated with the CBS Network.

Federal Adjudication of Facts: The New Regime Allen R. Kampt The American legal system is entering a new system of fact adjudication in federal civil practice. This new regime of management governs how courts judge the sufficiency of pleadings, how they determine facts, review factual determi- nations, and treat adjudicated facts in subsequent litigation. This new regime is characterized by a temporal shift toward fact adjudication at an early stage. No longer will the fed- eral courts rely on extensive appellate review; rather, there is a shift toward deference to district court findings. In addi- tion, the courts are shifting from notice pleading with facts ascertained by discovery to a close look at the factual bases of pleadings. Other scholars have written on this phenome- non of a shifting of judicial emphasis.' No one, however, has looked specifically at the various changes in procedure such as new versions or new interpretations of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 9(b), 11, 52, 56 and the doctrine of issue preclusion, as a whole.
