ABSTR ACT There is ongoing debate in the feminist community over the impact of television on women's lives and whether or not mainsueam television can be used as a means for social change. The Women's Television Network, which began broadcasting in Canada on January 1, 1995, reflects the ferninist debate in its stniggle to define women's television and also provides a concrete example of the practical applications of liberal feminist media theory in the commercial television indusuy. This thesis explores the paradoxes and contradictions which @se from WTN's relationships to feminism and commercial television. It does so through qualitative research conducted at WTN, texnial analysis, an examination of the political economy of the television industry and an overview of the shifting theoretical paradigms in feminist media studies. It asks why a women's channel was licenced at this point in Canadian history? Why a women's channel with a ferninist mandate? 1s this manda te compatible with commercial television? Will a wornen's channel, mn by wornen, necessarily affect in a progressive way. the discourses of gender encoded in the texts the channel broadcasts? In considering these questions the study sets out to demonstrate that despite the many compromises a 'ferninist' women's channel rnust make, to have a voice on mainstream television is to participate in a powerful discourse. An eighteen minute video, titled Carole Gets a TV, was also produced as part of this research project. It is an attempt to explore the ferninist debates presented in this thesis in a visual format, which might be used as an educational tool through which to address issues about the impact of the media on the construction of identity. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The main advantage of conducting graduate research in Lnterdisciplinary Studies is the opportunity of drawing upon the knowledge of scholars from a variety of disciplines. Professor Elizabeth Seaton, from the Mass Communications Department, also the Chair of my Supervisory Cornmittee, was an exceptional resource for information on feminist media theory, as well as for comments and suggestions on my research and writing. Professor Barbara Evans a filmmaker and professor in the Film and Video Department. provided me with invaluable support in the production of my video, as weli as a different perspective on the thesis material. Professor Ted Magder. from the Mass Communications Department, provided insights into the political economy of the television industry. 1 thank them ail for maintainhg their enthusiasm and dedication to rny project despite their various sabbaticals, maternity leave and relocation to foreign universities. In addition. 1 would like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Professor Virginia Rock in helping me work through difficulties in the writing process. Surviving graduate studies at York would not have been possible without the wonderful people connected to the Interdiscipiinary Studies Programme: mÿ colleagues Rachel, Gord, Krys, Sarah and Paul, the former Programme Assistant Agatha Campbell and the Programme Director Professor Marlene Kadar, whose energy, cheerfufness and pro blem-solving abilities kept us all going. 1would iike to thank Barbara Barde and Linda Rankin and ail of the women I interviewed at the Women's Television Network in Winnipeg and Toronto for generously supporting my research. I would especidy like to thank Laura Michalchyshyn for facilîtating my trip to Winnipeg and for never complaining about all of my questions.

Specifically 1 would like to mention Marni Goldman for her fabulous ideas and expert editing, Michael Tong for helping me through my first year and Barb Anderson and Jane Gutteridge, who despite their many attempts to sabotage my thesis, helped a great deal with my financiai sumival through the thesis witing process.

The channel would be a great opportunity for women like myself, who drearn of working in a feminist, supportive environment and of producing television programrning that is progressive. relevant and accessible to a rnass audience. 1 believed a wornen's television channel would provide a great opportunity for women to learn the technology of television production and it would offer a new venue to show work to a national audience (except for most of Quebec) which hadn't previously fit into other broadcasters' schedules. 1 was convinced that if one of these channels was licenced it wouid change the media landscape in Canada forever, untilI bumped into a feminist hiend who was not at al1 excited about the prospect of a women's channel. She thought a women's channel was ghettoizing and that the audience would be limited. She listed off many wornen who are rnaking strides for gender equality on mainstream television: Denise Donlon, Wendy Mesley, Rita Deverell, Pamela Wallin. She believed that women have a rnuch greater chance of affecting social change and influencing ideas if they work with the existing broadcasters. Her cornrnents made me reconsider my unequivocal enthusiasm for the licencing of a wornen's channel and made me recognize that there was much more to the issue than 1 originally thought. My enthusiasm for a women's channel cornes from my experiences as a feminist documentary videomaker, a student of film and television, and from working for and partiupating in many successful film and television organizations. I have worked at the National Film Board and adrmred the films produced by its Studio D (the only government sponsored feminist film unit in the world-- recently closed). 1 have also created my own video productions at universiSr and with SHE/TV. a feminist collective producing television programming through Rogers Cable 10 cornrnmity access in Toronto.

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.
