Michael Copps 'Alarmed' By Industry Consolidation... "We've undergone a tremendous amount of consolidation in the last number of years," the FCC Commissioner said when asked at a Tuesday afternoon "face-off" session if the extent of industry consolidation and ownership concentration issues were a major concern to him. He said he has met with Congress about some of the effects of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and FCC Commissioner Kevin Martin added that the agency will explore the Act's effects on localism. "I think the commission is making sure public interest is served by making sure there are a significant amount of voices," Martin said. Since a wider variety of "voices" and broadcasters exist today than when the FCC first devised its ownership rules, Martin said it will take the advice of courts that have asked the commission to revise its rules. "I think what the court is saying is that we need to justify the rules and include something such as cable as a distinct voice," Martin said.

Roswell Cancelled, FCC gives NBC go-ahead on Telemundo, More!

News Flashes (April 10, 2002)

Just 25 years ago, the mid season produced two surprise big hits: "Three's Company" and "Eight is Enough," among three broadcast networks.

Fast forward to this year with seven networks. The only midseason TV show that qualifies to be a hit? "The Osbournes." BUT...it's not on any of the major TV networks. Right. It's on MTV!

The midseason of the year 2002 will probably go down as one of the worst in broadcast TV history.

The broadcasters, faced with a glut of so-so products and a 1000 channel universe, are having a hard time launching new series as people have more choices to tune to. Back in 1977, most cities could barely get as many TV stations as there were Bradfords in the Sacramento house...without cable; for most of the number of choices, it was closer to "Three's Company" than "Eight is Enough", while the big cities such as Los Angeles and New York had at least a dozen channels to choose from.

Today, even the biggest TV stations in the biggest markets are feeling the pinch of lower ratings due to the 1000 channel universe.

With that in mind, that's why most of the new series have been greeted with ratings as low as the average rating "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" is getting on the WB...about 2.5 to 3.5 on average.

Aside of the ratings woes, most of the new series I saw such as "Andy Richter Controls The Universe", "Wednesday 9:30," and countless others are complete bores with shoddy writing and thinly thought-out plots.

Other shows like "Greg The Bunny" and "Watching Ellie", which are the better of the new shows, are also being greeted with low ratings.

Networks use the midseason schedule to replace shows cancelled from their fall lineups, or to introduce new shows they hope can make a dent in a less cluttered environment (read: less competition than in the fall).

Some of the most famous shows in TV history - among them All in the Family, Barney Miller, Knot's Landing, Dynasty and The Wonder Years - began life as midseason replacements.

But this midseason is strewn with the remants of bombs like The WB's My Life as a Rock Star, Fox's American Embassy, UPN's As If and Random Years and ABC's Wednesday at 9:30 (8:30 Central) - a strangely titled sitcom starring Fawlty Towers legend John Cleese that was canned after two low-rated episodes.

On the winning side, the pickings are slim. There's CBS' surprising Baby Bob and ABC's fair-to-middling George Lopez.

And then there's Fox's Greg the Bunny, which bowed to mostly positive critical acclaim and solid numbers.

"People either love it or hate it - but they're talking about it," Berman says of Greg. "I think of any of the Fox [midseason] shows, that's the only one that has a shot of returning in the fall."

Other shows on the bubble - meaning they could go either way - include NBC's Leap of Faith and and NBC's much-hyped Watching Ellie, starring Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus - but just barely.

Kenny McCormick RIP... There were no flowers, no eulogies and few tears: Kenny McCormick, the diminutive, soft-spoken child of South Park whose personal tragedies he so bravely concealed underneath a tight orange hooded sweatshirt, has died.

This time, it's for real. After getting killed countless times since the Comedy Central series debuted in 1997--only to be alive, healthy and mumbling incoherently on the next episode--creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone quietly dispensed with him at the end of last season.

Over 80 episodes, Kenny has been impaled, mutilated, microwaved, dismembered and even crushed by the Mir space station - all of which prompted the catchphrase response, "Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You bastards!"

But those bastards finally silenced Kenny for good on December 5, giving him a terminal muscular disease.

"It was the one episode where [all the characters] cared [he was dying] for once," Stone tells the Knoxville News-Sentinel newspaper. "After that, we said, 'Why doesn't he just stay dead?' And it was like, 'Okay, let's just do that.' It was that easy of a decision.

"I think a lot of people probably haven't noticed," he added. "I couldn't care less. I am so sick of that character."

It was an appropriately unsympathetic goodbye to a character that's been maimed so badly over the years. Stone said it simply became too difficult to come up with new and exotic ways for Kenny to die.

"We got sick of figuring out ways to kill him," Stone said. "It was funny the first 38 or 40 times we did it. Then it turned into, 'Okay, how can we kill him now?'"

This season, Kenny has been written out of the opening credits and replaced by Butters, a blond-headed schoolmate often ridiculed by Cartman, Stan and Kyle.

South Park fans have expressed mixed feelings about the changeup. "This is the first time I've actually thought Matt and Trey have made a stupid mistake," writes one Kenny fan, ike642000, on the SouthPark Studios.com Website. "You don't see Matt Groening killing off Maggie in The Simpsons for not talking, do you?"

Others, however, don't seem to mind Kenny's permanent demise.

"I love Kenny just as much as any other diehard fan...but I think he'll be able to accomplish so much more in death than he did as a principal character," writes another, who's pleased that Kenny's death "makes room for more of Butters. Butters rules!"

Not that Stone and Parker care. The creators have developed a reputation for doing what they please - even if their fans don't exactly agree. They famously ticked off South Park lovers in 1998, when they promised to reveal the identity of Cartman's father during an April 1 episode, only to instead air an irritating cartoon-within-a-'toon, The Terrance and Phillip Show.

Meantime, Butters' fate as a leading character isn't sealed, either: Wednesday's episode will feature Cartman, Stan and Kyle firing him as their "replacement friend," leading the trio to hold auditions for someone new.

Until then, let us mourn dear Kenny. His tombstone now adorns the Comedy Central Website with the inscription, "Sleep well, little child, the Lord holds thee now."

Justice Dept files suit against Clear Channel... The Justice Department filed suit Tuesday against concert promoter SFX Entertainment, charging that the subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications prevented insulin users from attending its shows. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, alleges that the company tried to prevent two diabetics from attending a concert with their medical supplies. SFX is the world's largest concert promoter. In a release, Justice officials said that SFX's policy forbidding customers from carrying medical supplies into concerts forces insulin users "to choose between being barred from concerts or taking unreasonable health risks." "SFX's policy is unnecessary and reflects outdated fears about individuals with disabilities," Ralph F. Boyd, assistant attorney general for civil rights, said in the statement.

FCC Media Chief: 'Unthinkable' Mergers Could Happen... Ken Ferree said at the NAB Convention that broadcast licensees should be allowed to "adjust their market activities in response to competitive forces" - meaning certain mergers that would not have previously passed regulatory muster may be cleared in the future, Reuters reports. Ferree - chosen by FCC Chairman Michael Powell to lead the newly created Media Bureau - says that allowing such mergers could allow broadcasters to "realize operational efficiencies that produce higher quality programming for the public." He adds that broadcasters who can't improve efficiency may cut costs in areas that could hurt the public interest, such as decreasing locally produced news or cutting back spending on general programming. "Neither of these outcomes can be said to benefit the public," Ferree says.

COOL EDIT PRO UNVEILED....MP3 PRO ANNNOUNCED...1/20TH SIZE OF NORMAL SOUND FILES!... (Tuesday, April 9, 2002 8:04am) At the NAB convention in Las Vegas yesterday, Cool Edit Pro and its President Bob Ellison announced the release of version 2.0, the first complete upgrade of the editing and recording software in the past 5 years. There are huge changes in the software which will have major implications for radio people as well as those doing music from their studios. Of particular interest is the integration of "MP3 PRO." Developed by Franhofer, in conjunction with various other companies, mp3 pro allows a further compression of sound files with no loss of fidelty. Where mp3 would take a wav file and compress it to 1/10th its size MP3 PRO cuts the file size to 1/20th. This will make the RIAA less than happy as it will allow over 20 hours of high fidelity music on one cd. It will also mean faster uploads and downloads of sound files and is backward compatible with mp3.

Are you Infected? How to Uninstall Stealth-Bundled P2P Software... Odds are that if you have downloaded any file sharing system in the last few months you've also gotten something you didn't bargain for. The KaZaa P2P family - which includes the popular Morpheous client - installs another piece of software called AltNet with it that is an advertising/promotional network. When it is activated, your computer will be used to share advertising and promotional materials. Even though the company behind it, Brilliant Digital, claims that you will be prompted via one of those nice pop-up advertisements as to whether you want your computer to participate or not, here are some instructions for finding out if you're infected and if so how to uninstall the software while leaving your file sharing application intact. First, go into your control panel (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel) and choose "Add or Remove Programs". If you see "b3d Projector" on the list, this is the unauthorized software. Highlight it and click "Remove" Once that's done or if you didn't see "b3d Projector" you can also search your system ("Find In Files" or "Search" for files in Windows XP) for "bdeclean.exe" and run that program to . EDITOR'S NOTE: Distributing this type of software this way creates some big legal issues. For example, if the computer you are using is actually owned by your employer, this network using it to push out content unbeknownst to you or your employer could be considered theft of service. One could of course argue that you shouldn't be downloading music at work - shame on you! Maybe you could get the RIAA on your side to lobby for monetary compensation to you for content pushed through your computer.

BMG to Copy-Protect Promo CDs...

None of the major labels have committed to a full-scale roll-out of protected CDs, in part because of backlash in Europe after altered discs did not play on some CD players.

Demise of KPPC-AM/Pasadena, CA (April 8, 2002)

From: jimhilliker@hotmail.com (Jim Hilliker)
Newsgroups: rec.radio.broadcasting
Organization: Airwaves Digest http://www.Airwaves.com

The station went dark with the last broadcast in September 1996. The FCC deleted the license in July of 1997, at the request of the licensee.

KPPC had been a 50 watt station from Pasadena Presbyterian Church from December 25, 1924 until 1936.

In 1936, KPPC boosted power to 100 watts, and shared time with KFXM-San Bernardino on 1210 kilocycles.

KPPC moved to 1240 on the dial in March, the 29th of 1941. It later became a specified hours station, on the air only all day Sundays and Wednesday nights.

When KPPC was on the air, KGFJ-1230 in L.A. had to drop to 100 watts, the San Berdoo station on 1240 dropped to 500 watts and 1260 in San Fernando had to use its night antenna directional pattern.

In 1985, KPPC was granted 250 watts power, but was mainly on the air only nights, from sunset to sunrise....The station was mostly on weeknights and Saturdays from sunset to 2 am the next morning...They also stayed on all day Sunday, still broadcasting the 11 am service from their first owner's church.

But, KGFJ and other stations no longer had to protect KPPC.

In 1995, I believe, KGFJ-1230 was sold and became KYPA-Your Personal Achievement station, and also bought KPPC and 1220-AM in Pomona, to change all to the same format, simulcasting...But the owners decided to sell KPPC, saying the station's low power didn't add to their coverage and they could get a better signal for 1230-KYPA by shutting down KPPC. So, KPPC's last daily broadcast was in April of 1996...KPPC was then only on the air Sundays from 11 am to noon, for the service of Pasdaena Presbyterian Church to be heard, just as was KPPC's origianal purpose when it went on the air in 1924!

But, the end came in September of 1996, still trying to find exact last day of broadacst, anybody know? Please contact me. After 71 years and 9 months on the air serving Pasadena, CA, KPPC/AM was off the air for good.

A call change to KBLV for K-Believe was filed, but 1240 in Pasadena went dark in 1996 and was deleted by the FCC in July of 1997.

Hope that helps those who wondered what became of this little radio station with the long history of service in the Los Angeles area.

From anonymous:

All 1210s became 1240s, under NRBA. KFXM later moved to 590.

From Jim Hilliker:

Yes, that's correct, I knew that much. I was just trying to simplify things. At first KPPC and KFXM had a share time agreement in the 1930s. That meant that KFXM would sign on for part of the morning, then go off trhe air. KPPC would sign off for an hour or two, then sign off, then KFXM would return to the air, then go off for KPPC to broadcast. This lasted till about 10 or 11 pm sometimes.

In the 1930s, KPPC was on just about everyday at one time, especially between 1929 and 1935. After that, KPPC cut back on its hours for economic reasons during the Depression, since it was a non-profit station. As for KPPC going on the air when KFXM was off the air on 1210 kc, KGFJ on 1200 did not have to power down, as they were also 100 watts at that time, the same as KPPC's power. Yes, they both moved to 1240 in 1941, while KGFJ moved from 1200 to 1230.

This all changed in 1944, on June 13, 1944, when KPPC was given a license for specified hours, to go on the air only on Sundays and Wednesday nights. KFXM was allowed to stay on the air, but had to reduce power and so did KGFJ.

Yes, in 1947, KFXM moved from 1240 on the dial to 590, and a new station in San Bernardino was licensed to 1240, KRNO, with various call letter changes over the years.
