Public Access: Fortifying The Electronic Soapbox, Jason Roberts Oct 1994

Public Access: Fortifying The Electronic Soapbox, Jason Roberts

Federal Communications Law Journal

Public access, viewed as the voice on cable for those outside the mainstream, has recently been criticized as nothing more than an unregulated channel for objectionable hate speech and indecent programming. When Congress passed the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, cable operators found themselves in the conflicting role of being liable for indecent and obscene programming on public access, while at the same time unable to exercise any editorial control over access content. All sides are now waiting to see if the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will strike down these access rules as …

Fine Tuning The Federal Government's Role In Public Broadcasting, Howard A. White Jun 1994

Fine Tuning The Federal Government's Role In Public Broadcasting, Howard A. White

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 represented a major effort by the federal government to provide entertaining and enlightening programming unlike that being offered by major broadcasters. Central to this effort was the creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), an independent corporation whose mission was to facilitate diversity, creativity, and innovation in noncommercial public broadcasting. It was to achieve this goal without engaging in content control over programming. However, members of Congress have expressed concern over the types of programming CPB was funding. As a result, Congress in 1992 directed the CPB to define national programming standards for …


Newscasts As Property: Will Retransmission Consent Stimulate Production Of More Local Television News?, Lorna Veraldi Jun 1994

Newscasts As Property: Will Retransmission Consent Stimulate Production Of More Local Television News?, Lorna Veraldi

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Cable Act of 1992 required, for the first time, that cable systems receive the consent of broadcast stations to retransmit their signals. While the fees that some stations had hoped to extract from the cable systems have generally not materialized, broadcasters may be able to use their expertise in the provision of local news and programming to gain additional cable channel space for this local-interest programming. The Author explores the historical interaction and conflict between cable systems and local broadcasters over retransmission rights. The Author also examines the courts' and FCC's responses to the copyright issues surrounding retransmission. Focusing …


The Integration Of Banking And Telecommunications: The Need For Regulatory Reform, Kalpak S. Gude Jun 1994

The Integration Of Banking And Telecommunications: The Need For Regulatory Reform, Kalpak S. Gude

Federal Communications Law Journal

The recent proliferation of computer and telecommunications technologies have dramatically changed the banking industry's business sector. While this modernization has allowed banks to increase their efficiency and service, banking regulations have not kept pace. Telecommunications companies, armed with new FCC regulations encouraging increased competition, have eagerly taken this opportunity to expand their business offerings into the financial services sector. In this Note, the Author examines the telecommunications services presently provided by banks and the present regulatory structure that prevents further bank entry into the telecommunications sector. The Author concludes that banking regulations should be changed to allow banks to enter …

Abortion On The Air: Broadcasters And Indecent Political Advertising, Milagros Rivera-Sanchez, Paul H. Gates Jr. Mar 1994

Abortion On The Air: Broadcasters And Indecent Political Advertising, Milagros Rivera-Sanchez, Paul H. Gates Jr.

Federal Communications Law Journal

Section 315(a) of the Communications Act--the anti-censorship provision--allows for the presentation of candidates' unvarnished positions on issues important to the voting public. In the 1990s, ads centered around abortion caused a collision between the interests of political candidates and broadcasters. The Article reviews broadcasters' attempts to use the indecency provisions of the Communications Act to channel controversial political advertisements. The Authors conclude that airing potentially indecent political ads is unlikely to result in sanctions for broadcasters.


The Children's Hour Revisited: The Children's Television Act Of 1990, Diane Aden Hayes Mar 1994

The Children's Hour Revisited: The Children's Television Act Of 1990, Diane Aden Hayes

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Children's Television Act of 1990 was created to reduce advertising during children's programming and increase the number of educational programs for children. But by 1993 media watchers found that violations were frequent, and that what was purported to be educational television was often little more than cartoons. This Note argues that the apparent failure of the Act stems primarily from its vague standards. To correct these problems, more explicit regulations are necessary. Because new regulations can only go so far before they invade broadcasters' First Amendment rights, broadcasters and the FCC will have to compromise to create a workable …


Fractured Procedure: The Civil Justice Reform Act Of 1990, Lauren K. Robel Jan 1994

Fractured Procedure: The Civil Justice Reform Act Of 1990, Lauren K. Robel

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Federal district courts have viewed the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 as a mandate to adopt procedural rules inconsistent with existing law. But in this article, Professor Robel argues that the Act neither compels nor authorizes such local deviations. Citing examples from reforms underway in district courts nationwide, Professor Robel contends that courts' assertions of broad rulemaking authority rest on a misreading of the Act and of the compromise between Congress and the judiciary that led to its passage. Professor Robel cautions that the goal of national uniformity underlying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure should not be compromised …
