Digitized from Box 58 of the Philip Buchen Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library 1. As noted in attached press clippings, DS has had a prior brush with public broadcasting, involving allegations of his attempts to use Government money to influence program content. While the allegations are exaggerated, and at some points in the Variety story factually inaccurate, the point is that there is and will be strong press interest in a DS appointment. 2. Prior allegations of Nixon Administration tampering with the Board will be revived. Over a year ago, the press was full of stories about using Board appointments to affect a conservative influence on program content. The former Chairman of the Board {Tom Curtis) resigned and made public charges of tampering. This and other similar episodes are the subject of an American Civil Liberties Union suit presently pending in the District Court. 3. On the substantive side, the Administration is moving forward with a long~range financing plan to insulate public broadcasting from political influences on programming arising out of the Congress and the Executive. Unless there is confidence that the Board can be trusted to use Federal dollars in a non-political manner, this Administration initiative will be jeopardized. 4. Another substantive point is that OTP has just issued a questionnaire regarding Federal agency funding of public broadcast programs as a first step in drafting guidelines to prevent the abuses that arose in the DS/LEAA program contract. Again, the appearance would be of a President whose right hand doesn't know what his left hand is doing. 5. The DS appointment coupled with the Coors' letter difficulty, involving an issue of attempted influence of program content, would embroil the Administration in a completely unnecessary controversy that would smack of the former Administration's controversies with public broadcasting. This is not the way to put a "Ford stamp" on personnel actions. 6. The nominee who DS would replace would be placed in the difficult and embarrassing position of having been nominated twice by this President and once by the former President and yet never being seated on the Board. ... fi~ ~- Page ----- "7-· · - - · - ·- - · - .--...... -=-.··;•r.1-.·· \\T-~'!'1'" 'Public'TV Crime<Series:. _~-.~.7 ~. - . .,; ;..·.. ~ .. ·· ·. ~ · ·._Stirs G_rant Cony~Py:t~,~'.~~~ • • • .. • # ..... ........ .,,, •· • ~}~ ·LES BROWN • .• • ·· • ' • ~ c_;:•·•. .. ;, "'·· 1 r....::.A:proposed nation;il series on I Mr; Witherspoon · ~aid :'1~i-f crime and criminal justice in :progr.ams would all bf' bast<J.ori the United States hai stirred a !a series of sympo::iuni! ~tat~ci· .~tro\·ersy within ·the oublic-iin varioui1 .narl!: nf·.th..: ... ~ •.;...._..:! , ..

Operating on limited funds and borrowed equipment, PBS had to literally throw together its operation in Miami Beach and still keep tabson'the candidates wandering around the country. The author,an engineering manager with KCET-TV in Los Angeles, outlines the engineering gymnastics that PBS had to go through to provide thecoverage necessary.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 395 338 CS 509 239 AUTHOR Drushel, Bruce E. TITLE If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs. PUB DATE Nov 95 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (81st, San Antonio, TX, November 18-24, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Conservatism; *Financial Support; *Government Role; Higher Education; Homosexuality; Legislators; Mass Media; *Moral Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Controversial Topics; First Amendment; Religious Right ABSTRACT Public broadcasting in the United States frequently draws criticism from conservatives who accuse it of pursuing an agenda promoting environmentalism, gay rights, affirmative action, reproductive choice, and other liberal causes, and of being hostile to conservative interests such as defense, the pro-life effort, and the promotion of Christian values. To date, concerns over censorship in public television have focused, not on overt efforts by Congress to determine the bounds of acceptable programs, but on not-so-subtle pressure at both the national and the local level to self-censor or risk loss of funding. Several recent cases of controversial programs have led to calls for ties between funding of the public television system and program content--programs such as "Tongues Untied," "Portrait of a Marriage," and "Tales of the City." Assessing the constitutionality of possible future efforts by Congress to place content-related conditions on the funding of,public television seems to require that 3 areas of law be analyzed: (1) the current statutory framework in which the public television system operates;(2) the recent case law in the area of the First Amendment and public broadcasting; and (3) relevant overarching judicial principles.

  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

    This Summer, American Public Television and WORLD Channel Transport Audiences to an African National Park that is Saving Endangered Animals while Lifting Communities out of Poverty “Our Gorongosa” shares the stories of the women who are transforming conservation and development in Gorongosa National Park and providing the next generation of girls with opportunities for empowered futures Chevy Chase, MD (July 26, 2021) – “Our Gorongosa,” the inspirational film by Tangled Bank Studios and Gorongosa Media is debuting on public television stations across the country this summer and nationally on WORLD Channel, produced by GBH in partnership with the WNET Group in New York and distributed by American Public Television. Close to 90% of U.S. households will now be able to see the film on their local public television station (check local listings for eXact dates and airtimes). “Our Gorongosa” features Dominique Gonçalves, a vibrant Mozambican ecologist who runs the Gorongosa elephant ecology project as she shares the myriad ways Gorongosa is redefining the identity and purpose of an African national park. From her own work mitigating human/elephant conflict; to community clubs and school programs that empower girls to avoid teen marriage and pregnancy; to health clinics and nutrition training for eXpectant mothers and families; Dominique transforms viewers’ understanding of what a national park can be. The commitment of the remarkable women who run these programs—and the resilience of the mothers and girls who are benefiting from them—tell an inspiring story of strength and hope. “Our Gorongosa” has captivated film festival audiences since its debut at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and its festival premiere in 2019 at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival.
