ABC News Perspective is one of those dreadful weekend “Week in Review” shows that few people would choose to listen to – back in the 1950s the NAB published a Standards and Practices document that generally required NAB members to air “Public Service” crap to demonstrate their commitment to “operating in the public interest”.<\/p>\n
The final minute of Perspective is just bizarre in 2012 – they announced that if you would like a copy of the show (you mean beyond the one on my iPhone?), please send $10 to a PO box in New York City (postal mail? \u00a0Paper check?) and please wait 4 weeks for delivery. \u00a0The announcement said nothing about the format – cassette tape? \u00a0CD? \u00a0DVD? \u00a0Reel to reel tape? \u00a0Edison wax cylinder? \u00a0 My guess is they will send you a printed transcript, but they didn’t even hint at what they send out in the unlikely event someone actually wrote in.<\/p>\n
Seriously?<\/p>\n
My guess is the purpose is only something done at the request of lawyers to set up a theoretical claim of “damages” should someIne use the material in an unauthorized way..<\/p>\n
