Riz Khan – America versus free speech – Part 1

Posted by admin on July 9th, 2010 and filed under tv stations | No Comments »

Washington always claims that one of its top foreign policy initiatives is to spread democracy and freedoms around the world. But a recent bill in the US Congress has many wondering if the US wants to become one of the world’s biggest censors of media freedoms. In early December the US House of Representatives voted by an overwhelming majority to pass a bill punishing Arab TV stations that engage in “anti-American incitement to violence”. The bill – known as House Resolution 2278 – has to pass many stages before it becomes law, but it has shocked many for contradicting American support for free speech.So, what are the implications of such a law for the concept of free speech?

Michael Moore: Greed Killed the Newspapers

Posted by admin on June 13th, 2010 and filed under newspapers | 25 Comments »

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/09/17/Filmmaker_Michael_Moore_on_Capitalism_A_Love_Story

Documentarian Michael Moore argues that media executives have ‘killed’ newspapers by laying off beat reporters, dumbing down news coverage and endorsing “anti-education” Republican political candidates. “They’ve slit their own throats,” claims Moore. “They’ve eliminated the very people they need to read their paper.”

—–

Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? Writer, director and producer Michael Moore has been trying to answer that question his entire filmmaking career. His latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, investigates the powerful forces behind the calamitous predicament in which countless Americans are finding themselves: losing their homes, jobs and savings to foot the bill for past spending.

What is the price that America – and the rest of the world – pays for its love of capitalism?

From Middle America to the halls of power in Washington to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore takes filmgoers into uncharted territory as he tries to get to the heart of the matter. – Commonwealth Club of California

Michael Moore is an Academy Award-winning American filmmaker, author and liberal political commentator. He is the director and producer of Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko, three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time.

In September 2008, he released his first free movie on the Internet, Slacker Uprising, documenting his personal crusade to encourage more Americans to vote in presidential elections. He has also written and starred in the TV shows “TV Nation” and “The Awful Truth.”

Moore is a self-described liberal who has criticized globalization, large corporations, assault weapon ownership, the Iraq War, U.S. President George W. Bush and the American health care system in his written and cinematic works. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people.

Also in 2005, Moore started the annual Traverse City Film Festival in Traverse City, Michigan. In 2008, he closed his Manhattan office and moved it to Traverse City, where he is working on his new film.

WCBS TV New York Analog TV Sign Off June 12th 2009

A Brief Review: 68 Years of NTSC for CBS

CBS’s first television broadcasts were experimental, often only for one hour a day, and reaching a limited area in and around New York City (over station W2XAB channel 2, later called WCBW and finally WCBS-TV).

The FCC began licensing commercial television stations on July 1, 1941; [on that day, they issued a license] to WCBW, (now WCBS).

On Feb 12 1946, the newly completed AT&T inter-city coaxial cable was inaugurated with an experimental broadcast of Lincoln Memorial Services from Washington DC to NBC, CBS, and DuMonts stations in New York. This date is commonly referred to as the birth date of television network broadcasting.

The term “chain broadcasting” was used, as the stations were linked together in long chains along the east coast. But as the networks expanded westward, the interconnected stations formed great networks of connected affiliate stations. By 1951, the four networks stretched coast-to-coast, carried on the new microwave radio relay network of AT&T Long Lines.

In 1987, cross-country microwave radio relays were replaced by Fixed Service Satellites. Some terrestrial radio relays remained in service for regional connections.

In 2000, satellite capacity and quality were increased with the transition to digital modulation.

On June 19, the FCC decommissioned NTSC as the terrestrial broadcast standard leaving the ATSC digital terrestrial transmission. CBS Network followed by eliminating SD satellite distribution on June 24 2009, 68 years after NTSC was first licensed to CBS.
