All that I am is because of you. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you Jesus!!! First, I would like to thank my family: My Mom and Dad, Ricky, Nori, Billy, Robin, Lori, Stanley, Holly, Marisa, Nozomi, Duke, Jordan, and all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I am so fortunate to have a family that is supportive of me. We lost my Mom at the end of my second year in the doctoral program and I was absolutely sure that I would not be able to go on. She was my best friend and was the one who encouraged me to go back to school in the first place. But, with unwavering support and love from my family, I did it! I love you all!! Next, I have to thank my dissertation committee: Dr. Jennifer Proffitt, Dr. Steve McDowell, Dr. Davis Houck, and Dr. Valliere Richard for their support and invaluable insight through this entire process. A special thanks and a big hug go to Dr. Jennifer Proffitt who lovingly guided (and pushed) me through this process. The scholar I am today is because of you. My life changed the day I first heard you discuss political economy of media. I can only hope that I will be half the professor, scholar, and mentor to an up-and-coming scholar that you have been for me. Additional thanks to Dr. Felecia Jordan Jackson, Dr. Aaron Thomas, and Dr. Hernan Ramirez for your guidance and friendship. I definitely could not have done this without all of you! A very special thank you goes to my classmates/colleagues who were in the trenches with me. We laughed, cursed, partied, and cried together. I will always value my time at Florida State University because of the time I spent with all of you. Thanks to Michael Chouinard, Shea Smock, Tamaria Williams, Shawna Patterson, Herlanda Hampton, Deanna Harris McKoy, Michelle Flood, Emilola Apayomi, Clyde Lemon, John Williams, LaFarin Meriweather, Ebony Okafor, Christine Willingham, Agata Wlodarczyk, Kaleena Burkes, Estee Hernández, Jeremiah Campbell, Sophie Janicke, Andy Ellis and Jennifer Toole. To my girls! Thank you for holding me up and listening to me rant about any and everything. Thank you for always checking on me and making sure I wasn’t going crazy in this one-horse town. Erika Kegler, Karen Stewart, Karyn Wheat Powers, Jamille Nicholas, Amber Dykes, and Cynthia Slavens. To the Gallerkas: Noah Gallico, Sarah Kuscerka, Will, and Gus. I cannot thank you enough for your friendship and kindness! Thank you for opening up your home to me so that I could afford to conduct my interviews in Los Angeles. You will always have a place in my heart! Very special thanks to all of the men and women who agreed to participate in my interviews, and my friends who referred me to you. I cannot say your names (you know, confidentiality), but your input was invaluable to my work. Thanks to Donald Bogle! Before I even thought about going back for a PhD, our discussions helped me to be critical and thoughtful about our role and history in TV. Finally, thanks to my SOTA sisters, especially Dr. Felicia Moore Mensah and Dr. Tamara Bertrand Jones. Your input and guidance has been invaluable. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ........................................................................................................................................ viii 1.

    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

    Pre-Upfront Thoughts on Broadcast TV, Promotions, Nielsen, and AVOD by Steve Sternberg

    April 2021 #105 ________________________________________________________________________________________ _______ Pre-Upfront Thoughts on Broadcast TV, Promotions, Nielsen, and AVOD By Steve Sternberg Last year’s upfront season was different from any I’ve been involved in during my 40 years in the business. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no live network presentations to the industry, and for the first time since I’ve been evaluating television programming, I did not watch any of the fall pilots before the shows aired. Many new and returning series experienced production delays, resulting in staggered premieres, shortened seasons, and unexpected cancellations. The big San Diego and New York comic-cons were canceled. There was virtually no pre-season buzz for new broadcast or cable series. Stuck at home with fewer new episodes of scripted series than ever to watch on ad-supported TV, people turned to streaming services in large numbers. Netflix, which had plenty of shows in the pipeline, surged in terms of both viewers and new subscribers. Disney+, boosted by season 2 of The Mandalorian and new Marvel series, WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, was able to experience tremendous growth. A Sternberg Report Sponsored Message The Sternberg Report ©2021 ________________________________________________________________________________________ _______ Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu also managed to substantially grow their subscriber bases. Warner Bros. announcing it would release all of its movies in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max (led by Wonder Woman 1984 and Godzilla vs. Kong), helped add subscribers to that streaming platform as well – as did its successful original series, The Flight Attendant. CBS All Access, rebranded as Paramount+, also enjoyed growth.

    Media Ownership Rules

    05-Sadler.qxd 2/3/2005 12:47 PM Page 101 5 MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES It is the purpose of this Act, among other things, to maintain control of the United States over all the channels of interstate and foreign radio transmission, and to provide for the use of such channels, but not the ownership thereof, by persons for limited periods of time, under licenses granted by Federal author- ity, and no such license shall be construed to create any right, beyond the terms, conditions, and periods of the license. —Section 301, Communications Act of 1934 he Communications Act of 1934 reestablished the point that the public airwaves were “scarce.” They were considered a limited and precious resource and T therefore would be subject to government rules and regulations. As the Supreme Court would state in 1943,“The radio spectrum simply is not large enough to accommodate everybody. There is a fixed natural limitation upon the number of stations that can operate without interfering with one another.”1 In reality, the airwaves are infinite, but the govern- ment has made a limited number of positions available for use. In the 1930s, the broadcast industry grew steadily, and the FCC had to grapple with the issue of broadcast station ownership. The FCC felt that a diversity of viewpoints on the airwaves served the public interest and was best achieved through diversity in station ownership. Therefore, to prevent individuals or companies from controlling too many broadcast stations in one area or across the country, the FCC eventually instituted ownership rules. These rules limit how many broadcast stations a person can own in a single market or nationwide.

Society volunteers receive comprehensive training in their role, strong staff support and communication and an ongoing variety of volunteer opportunities. They gain first-hand knowledge of museum operations and receive exciting benefits and opportunities to further strengthen their love for Detroit! The Detroit Historical Society takes great pride in celebrating the continued dedication of our volunteers by actively participating in National Volunteer Week, sponsored by Points of Light. The Society, along with 25 organizations in the Southeast Michigan region, will honor our volunteers by hosting a variety of lectures and events during Above, from top: Detroit Historical this year’s week-long celebration, from Saturday, April 22 to Sunday, April 30.
