Solving Slapp Slop, Nicole J. Ligon
Solving Slapp Slop, Nicole J. Ligon
University of Richmond Law Review
In a substantial minority of states, wealthy and powerful individuals can, without much consequence, bring defamation lawsuits against the press and concerned citizens to silence and intimidate them. These lawsuits, known as “strategic lawsuits against public participation” (“SLAPP”s), are brought not to compensate a wrongfully injured person, but rather to discourage the defendants from exercising their First Amendment rights. In other words, when well resourced individuals feel disrespected by public criticism, they sometimes sue the media or concerned citizens, forcing these speakers to defend themselves in exorbitantly expensive defamation actions. In states without anti-SLAPP statutes—statutes aimed at protecting speakers from …

Regulating Indecent Broadcasting: Setting Sail From Harbors Or Sunk By The V-Chip?, Brett Ferenchak
Regulating Indecent Broadcasting: Setting Sail From Harbors Or Sunk By The V-Chip?, Brett Ferenchak
University of Richmond Law Review
"Family values" has become a familiar phrase in all arenas of American life. As a result of the increasing concern over family values in broadcasting, the religious right, as well as the liberal left, have tried to stay the progression of moral decadence in our youth. The concerns have been directed towards violent, sexual and vulgar content in radio, television, and films.

The Fcc And Five Years Of The Cable Communications Policy Act Of 1984: Tuning Out The Consumer?, Mark R. Herring
University of Richmond Law Review
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (the "Cable Act") was a comprehensive amendment to the Communications Act of 1934. The Cable Act established the national policy for the regulation of the cable television industry. The focus of the Cable Act and the administrative rules implementing the act has been on the relationship between franchising municipal authorities and cable television operators. Congress addressed some consumer issues in the Cable Act such as subscriber privacy, commercial access channels, and public, educational, and governmental ("PEG") channels.

Cable Television Update-Capital Cities Cable, Inc. V. Crisp: Federalism And Frustration Of Powers, Steven J. Keeler
University of Richmond Law Review
The Supreme Court of the United States recently stunned the cable television industry with its decision in Capital Cities Cable, Inc. v. Crisp. The immediate result of the ruling was to preempt a state statute prohibiting the advertisement of certain alcoholic beverages; however, the decision's potential impact could be much broader. The Court unanimously held cable television regulation to be the "exclusive domain" of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and an "area that the Commission has explicitly pre-empted." Thus, the decision extends broad regulatory authority to the FCC at the expense of local control.

A number of recent decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, its counterpart for the Eighth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court, have substantially curtailed the power of the FCC to regulate the growth of cable television. Such regulation has proved to be a very complicated and extended saga of FCC activity, one measure of which was the extraordinary justification for publishing a per curiam opinion in Home Box Office, Inc. v. FCC: "not because it has received less than full consideration by the court, but because the complexity of the issues raised …

Regulation Of Television Program Content By The Federal Communications Commission, Walter H. Sweeney
University of Richmond Law Review
On Thursday, September 20, 1973, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:15 p.m., the Columbia Broadcasting System presented "Bonnie and Clyde," a film featuring extraordinary portrayals of violence, including close-ups of participants being shot in the face. This movie was scheduled by CBS to counteract the highly publicized tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King being shown by the American Broadcasting Company. The following Saturday, during prime time, ABC aired "Rosemary's Baby," a horror film involving the possession of a pregnant woman by Mephistopheles leading to the birth of a devil. This program followed the children-oriented "Patridge Family" show. While …
Broadcasting's Fairness Doctrine- An Illogical Extension Of The Red Lion Concept
Broadcasting's Fairness Doctrine- An Illogical Extension Of The Red Lion Concept
University of Richmond Law Review
Television and radio advertising is fully accepted in our society as part and parcel of the American way of life. The business community of this country spends billions of dollars annually on commercials, attempting to convince Americans that they have an immediate and pressing need for products as diverse as panty hose and snow tires, roll-on deodorant and chain saws. In bad taste to some, boring or amusing to others, one thing these commercials have not been, is controversial. Should the United States Supreme Court uphold a recent District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision, the day may not be …
