  • Sinclair Announces Long Term Agreement for National Sales Representation with Katz Media BALTIMORE, June 9 /Prnewswire/ -- Sinclair Communications, Inc
    Sinclair Announces Long Term Agreement for National Sales Representation With Katz Media BALTIMORE, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair Communications, Inc. ("SCI") announced today that it would build exclusive selling teams at Seltel, a division of Katz Media. This far-reaching agreement will encompass the representation of all stations that SCI will either acquire or begin programming upon the closing of the Sullivan and Max Media properties later this month. In addition, stations that are currently part of SCI in Minneapolis, San Antonio and soon to be acquired Syracuse as well as stations acquired from Heritage Media will be part of the new Sinclair sales team. Barry Baker, CEO-Designate of SCI commented, "as Sinclair has grown in the number of stations it owns and/or programs, we recognize that we live in a time where all of the talent necessary to achieve our national sales goals are no longer concentrated at one parent rep firm. Katz/Seltel demonstrated to us that they have the people and systems in place to provide first rate national sales representation for the multitude of stations our growing company needs to grow our market share." Jim Beloyianis, President of Katz Television Group Companies said, "We are thrilled to be a part of the Sinclair family. The keys to the Sinclair selling organization are mirrored in our own rep firms. Our universal dedication to achieving the highest possible shares is achieved thru investments in high quality sellers. Sinclair's continued investment in great programs for its stations and great sales management to maximize the value of those shows will be enhanced in the selling teams we are setting up to represent their stations." Michael Draman, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, and Steve Eisenberg, National Sales Director, both added, "We looked at these stations and viewed the enthusiasm and energy that both Jim Beloyianis and Jack Higgins, President of Seltel, demonstrated for this joint venture and knew it was time to expand our rep horizons.

In non-Western societies, most popular songs covered by artists are Anglo- American, a situation which implicitly privileges Western music and reinforces both the “west and the rest” trope and the cultural imperialism thesis. Taking American amateur artists and their online videos performing Filipino popular music as case studies, this article examines how social media platforms facilitate and problematize center- periphery relations in popular music through a diffusion of cultural products “from the rest to the west.” Moreover, we show that more than the promise of audience reach, the phenomenon reflects how these cover artists embody cultural and social situatedness in Filipino culture.

  • “What's In?”: Unveiling Pop Culture's Use in Facilitating English Grammar
    “WHAT’S IN?”: UNVEILING POP CULTURE’S USE IN FACILITATING ENGLISH GRAMMAR LEARNING AMONG GRADE 7 STUDE DELILAH BALAJADIA PANGAN Researcher Master of Arts in Education Major in English October 2013 Mylene A. Manalansan, M.A.Ed. Adviser Abstract This study used an explanatory mixed method of research involving quasi-experimental and qualitative narrative strategies. It aimed to validate the impact of popular culture in language learning among Grade 7 students in the Philippine setting, particularly in a rural area. Specifically, it sought to find the significance of pop culture as a tool in facilitating grammar learning among the target participants. Results show that there was a significant improvement in the test scores of the experimental group after having been subjected to the intervention, which is the use of popular artists, popular songs, video game characters, and popular game shows in teaching a grammar lesson. On the other hand, there was no significant improvement in the test scores of the control group who were given explicit grammar instruction. More active and eager participants were evident in the experimental group than in the control group. Based on the interview of the participants from the experimental group, a positive response, which includes enjoyment, interests, and captivation, was evident. Furthermore, the use of contextualized pop culture in the discussion of the target lesson made the participants more attuned to the lesson. This study concludes that the use of pop culture as a tool in teaching grammar among Grade 7 students facilitates their learning and makes them more interested and active learners. Language teachers then must take advantage of pop culture’s potential in capturing students’ hearts and in stimulating their willingness to learn.
