Tv Networks Valued Their News Operations. Why They Did Is Open To Debate, But Former Newsman Ted Koppel Argues:

August 5, 2020March 6, 2018 by admin

The FCC began licensing experimental television stations as early as 1937, but sponsorship of programs by advertisers was forbidden during this testing phase. Almost immediately after World War II war ended, the FCC was hit with 158 new applications, many of them from newspaper and radio companies trying to head off anticipated competition. By 1948 there were 34 stations operating in 21 different cities, broadcasting to over one million television sets.

Newspaper companies owned over 33 percent of those stations, and by 1952 that figure had climbed to 45 percent.

The New York Daily News applied for an ownership license in 1946, despite New York’s already having three stations. Its managers had hit on an idea for differentiation: feature local news instead of the 15-minute national and international news broadcasts shown by the network stations. “Our plan was for a people’s newscast,” explained Leavitt Pope, an executive of Channel 11. It aired in the form of Telepix Newsreel, two local nightly newscasts filling a 10-minute slot at...

Cultural Differences in Fan Ritualization: A Cross-Cultural Perspective of the Ritualization of American and Japanese Baseball Fans

August 5, 2020March 6, 2018 by admin

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the fan ritualization process through which an individual acquires ritualized sports fandom, as characterized by symbolized, role-assimilated, and selfenacted sports-related consumption experiences. Sports fans employ several fan ritualization strategies including formalism, symbolic performance, traditionalism, and socializing in order to secure ritualized sports fandom. However, these strategies of fanritualization are culture-specific because sports fans authorize and legitimize ritualized sports fandom according to their cultural values. This paper offers several propositions regarding cultural differences in fan ritualization between American and Japanese baseball fans.

August 5, 2020March 6, 2018 by admin

I. INTRODUCTION

1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), issued pursuant to section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), and section 1.80 of the Commission’s rules,2 we find that the licensees of 169 Fox Television Network stations (“Fox Network Stations”)3 apparently broadcast indecent material during an episode of the Fox program “Married By America” on April 7, 2003, in apparent willful violation of the federal restrictions regarding the broadcast of indecent material. Based on our review of the facts and circumstances in this case, we conclude that the licensees are apparently liable for monetary forfeitures in the amount of $7,000 for each of their respective stations that broadcast the material at issue, for a total proposed forfeiture of $1,183,000.

New Business Models for the Value Analysis of Sport Organisations

August 5, 2020March 4, 2018 by admin

The value creation analysis provides a deeper understanding of the value creation of a business and gives an opportunity to derive promising strategies to generate income. But the success of the strategies depends on the usage of the appropriate business model for the value creation analysis. Value chain, value shop, and value network are introduced as business models for the value creation analysis of sport organisations at the example of a football match, a training camp, and a football league. Strategy options are discussed and implications for further research are given.

August 5, 2020March 4, 2018 by admin

Naming rights and sponsorship deals are, of course nothing new, but never before have we seen such a proliferation in the number and permutations of such deals as there have been in recent years. For the most part, such arrangements have been success stories, mutually beneficial for teams and corporate sponsors; however, some vital lessons have emerged for negotiating and. structuring such arrangements.

Sports Celebrity Influence on the Behavioral Intentions of Generation Y

August 5, 2020March 4, 2018 by admin

Teenagers currently spend an estimated $153 billion a year on everything from computers to cars to clothes (Brand, 2000). Trend conscious teens are very active in utilizing the media and advertising in seeking out the latest products, services, and fashions (Zollo, 1995). A greater understanding of teens’ role model influences can help organizations and their advertising agencies more effectively target and communicate to this growing market. In this study, we examine the effect of athlete role models on teenagers’ purchase intentions and behaviors. Results from a survey of 218 adolescents are discussed with implications and future research directions for advertising and sports marketing researchers.

Masters Thesis: Motor Sport And The Image Of A Car Brand.

August 5, 2020March 3, 2018 by admin

Executive Summary

This thesis sets out to investigate the effect of participation in motor sports on the image of a company. The focus in this investigation lies on the effect for companies that participate in Formula 1. The research looks at three different items that can influence the image: brand fit, brand involvement and popularity of the sport. Another factor investigates the moderating effect that the influence of the image of the sport has on the three items under investigation. These issues where investigated using an online questionnaire. The results show that a correct brand fit and a high brand involvement are the issues that will ensure a positive change on the image of a company. In addition, companies need to choose a sport with a positive image in order to create an image transfer regime that is positive for both parties.

Race to the Future: The Statewide Impact of Motorsports in Indiana

August 5, 2020March 3, 2018 by admin

Executive Summary

Indiana and the Central Indiana region in particular, are known as the ‘Racing Capital of the World.’ Traditionally, this designation exists due the presence of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the annual running of the Indianapolis 500.

In preparing this report for the Motorsports and Vehicle Production Network project, we learned that motorsports touches nearly every corner of Indiana and is indirectly responsible for over 421,000 jobs while the cluster directly employs over 23,000 individuals in the state and pays an average wage of nearly $63,000, exceeding the average state wage by over $13,000.One challenge that project staff faced is that there was no pre-existing definition of a ‘motorsports cluster.’ To address this, a compilation of company information was compiled from databases supplied by Conexus and the Indiana Motorsports Association. 172 unique 6-digit NAICs codes were obtained and the most frequent NAICS codes were processed through an input-output table for Indiana. From this we were able to identify significant value and supply...

Crankcase Pressure Control In An Internal Combustion Engine: Gt-Power Simulation

August 5, 2020February 28, 2018 by admin

ABSTRACT

The crankcase ventilation system is a very important part of the internal combustion engine but not so much attention is usually paid on what happens in the crankcase. A lot of information is available on what happens in the combustion chamber but not so many papers have been published related to the crankcase ventilation. Actually, efficiency improvements can be obtained with an optimization of the crankcase ventilation system and so fuel can be saved and the overall emissions of reduced.

The present is a thesis describing the work done by the author in his internship with Chrysler LLC during the Joint Master Degree program between Politecnico di Torino and University of Windsor.

The work is aimed to simulate the crankcase ventilation system of Pentastar V6 3.6L engine with a 1D/CFD software to see possible ways of improvement and provide some baseline guidance in the initial selection of design parameters for future engines.

American Needle v. NFL: An Opportunity To Reshape Sports Law

August 5, 2020January 13, 2018 by admin

Abstract.

In American Needle v. National Football League, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether, and to what extent, section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act regulates a professional sports league and its independently owned franchises. For the first time, the Court could characterize a league and its teams as a single entity, meaning that the league and its teams are not able to “conspire” because they share one “corporate consciousness,” and thus cannot violate section 1 through even the most anticompetitive behaviors. Such an outcome would run counter to the sports league-related decisions of most U.S. Courts of Appeals, which have generally rejected the single entity defense because teams often do not pursue common interests. It would, however, prove consistent with the views of the Seventh Circuit, which in 2008 determined in American Needle that the National Football League and its teams constitute a single entity for purposes of apparel sales.
