The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:20 a.m., in room 2123, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. George T. (Mickey) Leland presiding; Hon'. Timothy Wirth, chairman. Mr. LELAND. We are going to get started, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning to all of you. I would like to preface my remarks by thanking Chairman Wirth for scheduling these very important hearings and for his leadership with regard to the issues of enhanc- ing diversity in the media, and increasing minority participation in the broadcast industries. I know Chairman Wirth would vey much like to be here himself to greet you. Unfortunately, because of a scheduling conflict that he was unable to avoid, he will not be able to be here as we begin this hearing. He will, however, be here shortly. I welcome this opportunity to participate in this discussion of the problems confronted by minorities in the media. I think itis particularly appropriate for the subcommittee to consider the broadcast industry's treatment of minorities and minority concerns now, as we begin to actively consider legislation geared toward deregulating broadcasting.I mutt confess that I often wonder, given the shabby treatment of minorities in a regulated environment, how will we fare after deregulation? Moreover, I wonder if we truly can build into any deregulation legislation suffi- cient structural safeguards to insure that the needs and concerns of all of our citizensblack, brown, and white; old and young; rich and poor; urban and ruralare served by the broadcasting indui- try. It is clear to any objective observer of the television industry that the record of the industry with regard to portrayal of minori- ties and enunciation of minority concerns is, and historically has been, abyemal. There has been very little educational or informa- tional programing geared toward minority audiences on either local or network television. There has been even less effort to accu- rately portray minority life in standard commercial entertainment fare. Far too often, talented minority actors and actresses are re- duced to stereotypical portrayals or comedic roles. A report con- cerning the television industry prepared by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights noted that when blacks appear on television, they (1) rarely are portrayed seriously. The report also noted that while whites often are shown in ridiculous roles in television, they also are seen in other programs and roles, while minorities appear most often in situation comedies. According to the report, the roles of blacks in television situation comedies largely fixes an image in the public mind of a ridiculous and nenserious people. In the absence of any balance, these shows grossly distort minority life in Amer- ica, serve to reinforce negative images of minority life, and bolster societal racism and sexism. I am concerned with the image television programing has on the minds of our populace at large, but I am particularly concerned about the effect this programing has on the young, both minority and nonminority. The richness and vitality of the minority experi- ence in America is rarely; if ever, depicted on television. Because of this omission, the American public is denied the opportunity to view realistic and socially meaningful

  • APRIL 17, 2015 Chairman Tom Wheeler Federal Communications
    APRIL 17, 2015 Chairman Tom Wheeler Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Applications of Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable Inc. for Consent to Assign or Transfer Control of Licenses and Authorizations, MB Docket No. 14-57 Dear Chairman Wheeler: It has been more than a year since Comcast announced its intention to acquire Time Warner Cable to form a cable TV and ISP behemoth. The combined company would, among other things: control over half of the high-speed residential broadband connections in the United States; dominate pay-TV across the nation; combine even stronger distribution muscle with NBC-Universal’s “must-have” video programming; and control critical advertising and set-top- box inputs. Opposition to this merger began the day the deal was announced and has grown to historic proportions. Over 700,000 Americans have called on you to reject the proposed merger, far more people than have opposed any other merger in the history of the Commission. Diverse industry and public interest group stakeholders (several of which are represented by the signatories below) have filed extensive documents in strong opposition to the merger. 1 The message is clear: the Commission should reject this merger because it would result in too much power in the hands of one company. You have staked your chairmanship on the importance of fostering competition to protect consumers and spur innovation, investment, lower prices and diversity. We agree. And the only way to protect that competitive future now is to reject the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger outright — no conditions, no side deals — no merger, period.

    TELEVISION VOLUME VIII NUMBER 2 SPRING 1969 QUARTERLY THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF TELEVISION ARTS AND SCIENCES Published by The National Academy ofTelevisionArtsandSciencesin cooperation with the School of Public Communication, Boston University THE ONE THING CLEARLY PREDICTABLE FOR 1969 Even in 1968, the most unpredictable of years, it wasa virtual certainty that NBC News would win a flock of important awards. That's just what happened. Programs and personnel of NBC News television and radio garnered many dozens of formal honors from universities, press associations, pub- lications, foundations and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Such recognition is tremendously gratifying. We're confident it will help inspire the men and women of NBC News to continue their task with energy and dedication- right through 1969. But that's the only prediction we'll venture.
