SOME of my African-American media colleagues are worked up over the lack of racial diversity in cable television news - especially in prime time. The issue resurfaced after CNN recently canceled the ratings- challenged talk show "In the Arena" hosted by Eliot Spitzer. The National Association of Black Journalists complained that no African- American journalists appear to have been considered to host a replacement show.
WASHINGTON - In a week and a half, it'll be over. What will we do to fill the void in our lives? Opinion surveys, voter registration totals and cable television ratings indicate that Americans have been engrossed by the marathon presidential campaign. That's no surprise, given the first-in- history nature of the candidacies, the host of crucial problems we face and the sense that the outcome may determine the course - and the prospects - of our nation for many years to come.
OTTAWA - U.S. newspapers are largely declining to staff the Stanley Cup finals. So the NHL is trying to bring the game to them. Already dealing with minuscule cable television ratings through two games of the championship series between the Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators, the NHL anticipated a small turnout of American- based reporters and took action to try to maximize coverage.
OTTAWA (AP) - U.S. newspapers are largely declining to staff the Stanley Cup finals. So the NHL is trying to bring the game to them. Already dealing with minuscule cable television ratings through two games of the championship series between the Anaheim Ducks and Ottawa Senators, the NHL anticipated a small turnout of American- based reporters and took action to try to maximize coverage.
The season hit its popularity peak with the fourth episode, a retelling of series regular Charlie Murphy's recollections of a coked-out Rick James (hilariously overplayed by [Dave Chappelle]), with point-counterpoint commentary between Murphy (Eddie's real-life older brother) and James himself in scenes filmed just months before the singer's summer 2004 death. The Emmy-nominated episode, a bona fide lightning-in-a-bottle comic classic, spurred what came to be the nationwide catch phrase, "I'm Rick James, bitch!," which is even more amazing given the puny-by-network-standards ratings of a cable-television series. Then again, every episode is a gut-buster that borders on brilliance; the sixth episode's sketch, in which Chappelle imagines the Internet as a real place, features Chappelle's ...
Occupying much of his time lately is the premiere of the network's "Murder in Black and White," a series of four one-hour documentaries directed by Keith Beauchamp that delve into unsolved murder cases from the civil rights era. This launch follows TV One's remarkable, live coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Denver. "Murder in Black and White" will air Oct. 5-8. Check your local listings for times. [Johnathan Rodgers]: One of the ways we gauge the success is by the very simple measurements we have in all our televisions. You look at the ratings. From this we can determine how many people actually watched the programs and for how long they watched. But like all other cable networks we repeat programs quite a bit. The first ratings won't tell us too much; it's the accumulat...

The rapid escalation of the U.S. anti-immigration hysteria -- fueled by ratings-hungry cable-television hotheads and leading Republican presidential hopefuls -- is a dangerous trend: It may lead to a Hispanic intifada that may rock this nation in the not-so- distant future. Remember the Palestinian intifada of the early 1990s when thousands of frustrated young Palestinians took to the streets and threw stones at Israeli troops? Remember the French intifada of the summer of 2005 in which disenfranchised Muslim youths burned cars and stores in the suburbs of Paris?
In the era before YouTube, the Swift Boat film derailed Kerry's candidacy even though the media buy for the commercials was only in a handful of markets. In presidential races, the high ratings of cable television news programs means that voters are exposed to massive amounts of political information through the media.
