Romanian Game Show Hostess Goes Crazy

Sagemind says...

A Romanian TV station has been fined £1,000 pounds after the presenter on a live phone in quiz show threw a fit after no viewers called in.

Presenter Adela Lupse from Oradea in western Romania started screaming at the camera, smashed the phone on the ground and then jumped up and down on it before grounding the phone under her foot.

At the same time she screamed repeatedly at the camera "I want the phone to ring now. Now. Call me now."

Angry TV bosses fired her after the outburst on TV station National TV.

But Lupse, who has been the show's presenter for three years, said: "Maybe I was a bit over the top but I wanted to get people to call - there is a lot of pressure to get people to call in with the correct answer. It was a bad day."

But Romanian TV watchdog the National Audiovisual Council of Romania failed to see the funny side and fined the station £1,089 (5,000 RON) for the outburst that showed "unjustified violence".

It also ruled that the show be given an X rating and only broadcast after 10pm.

Let there be many smiling dots (<- like these) among us sifters and lurkers..may your audiovisual delights continue to flow..
Beware..KP's revelation only shows a tiny part of Zifnab's identity.. Other references ought to include none other than The Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, Star Trek, James Bond, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Arthurian legend, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and soul music..my dear Wikipedia tells me..soul music, my Lord.

Live Performance ruined the Show

8756 says...

Ok, it's not a public channel, but as you've said, this part of the show wasn't crypted (and so, kinda public). And as the show had got a very big audience, there was a big national buzz.

You guess right, our local FCC (called CSA - Audiovisual Supreme Council) wasn't pleased at all. That funny part of that story is that a responsible of the channel claimed that this incident wasn't so important because the involved genitalia was small and barely visible on screen ("chtite stouquette" in french).

Hugo Chávez and RCTV
Censorship or a legitimate decision?
by Salim Lamrani

The government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez chose not to renew the license of the audiovisual group Radio Caracas Televisión (RCTV), which will expire May 28, 2007. This decision, which is completely legal, created a lively debate in the international press, which has become a mouthpiece for the Venezuelan opposition and immediately denounced a case of "censorship." [1]

RCTV is a private group whose principal activity consists in denigrating the policies of the Bolivarian government. Chávez has accused repeatedly, and not without reason, the nation's four main TV channels (Globovisión, Televen, Venevisión and RCTV, which control about 90 percent of the market and enjoy a de-facto media monopoly) of carrying out a "psychological war" against his administration.

For their part, those media have given overt proof of a hostility bordering on fanaticism toward the Venezuelan president, ever since he came to power in 1999. They have never stopped questioning the legitimacy of the government and casting doubt on the popular support he logically enjoys. The private media constantly invite to their programs oligarchic oppositionists and putschist military officers who proclaim subversion and the overthrow of the constitutional order. [2]

Marcel Granier, president of the 1BC Group, which controls about 40 radio and TV channels nationwide and owns RCTV, denounced what he called a violation of the channel's rights. "This position is illegal, violates rights and attacks freedom of expression and human rights," he complained. Nevertheless, Venezuelan law stipulates that broadcast signals belong to the State, which has the right of concession, while the infrastructures, the materials and the sites of the channels are private property. [3]

The Venezuelan government immediately responded to the accusations of RCTV's president: "Marcel Granier has devoted himself to stomping on the rights of the users [...] in the belief that he is above the rule of law, which renders him unqualified to operate an open-signal TV network." According to the government, Channel 2 will hereafter be the patrimony of the entire people, not just of small groups in "the media oligarchy." [4]

But it is not RCTV's recalcitrant opposition that led Venezuelan authorities to decide not to renew the concession of the nation's oldest channel. The main reason is this: RCTV participated in the coup d'état against President Chávez on April 11, 2002. "The determining role of RCTV during the coup d'état of 2002 must be remembered," stressed William Lara, Minister of Communications and Information, who added that "that irresponsible attitude at RCTV has not changed." [5]

RCTV's participation in the constitutional breakdown of April 2002 was so extensive that its production manager, Andrés Izarra, who opposed the coup, immediately resigned so as not to become an accomplice. Testifying before the National Assembly, Izarra stated that on the day of the coup and in the following days he received a formal order from Granier "to not broadcast any information about Chávez, his followers, ministers, or any other person who might be connected to him." [6]

Creepy (Sift Talk Post)

MADRID -- Driving to become one of Spain's most powerful film/TV groups, DeAPlaneta has just moved up a couple of gears with higher-profile acquisitions and a raft of new productions.

The new aggression coincides with the appointment of the energetic Alvaro Zapata, former VP of Buena Vista Intl. in Spain, as DeAPlaneta executive prexy.

DeAPlaneta purchased a controlling stake in Spanish broadcaster Antena 3 in April 2003. The latest expansion confirms it as one of the fastest-growing film and TV companies in Europe.

As a producer of film (DeAPlaneta PC) and TV (TV moviemaker Prodigius Audiovisual), DeAPlaneta's key competitive advantages lie in its distribution reach and -- for Spain -- higher-end muscle.

Launched in 2000 by two big European publishers and long-term partners, Spain's Planeta Group and Italy's DeAgostini Group, DeAPlaneta initially grew cautiously, establishing a theatrical distribution op, (DeAPlaneta Distribucion), a video distrib arm (SAV) and a kids distribution and merchandising division (Planeta Junior).

"Godzillatron" is the nickname given to the scoreboard at the University of Texas at Austin's Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The official name of the board has not yet been decided; it is simply referred to as the "Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium Scoreboard" by the Texas Longhorn Athletics department. It is one of the largest high definition video screens in the world. It was manufactured by Daktronics in Brookings, South Dakota, the largest producer of large-screen video displays in the world.

At the time of its creation, Godzillatron was called the largest high-definition video screen in the world,[1][2] though it was quickly surpassed by a larger screen in Tokyo.[3] [4] It is still the largest high-definition video screen in collegiate sports. [5] Depending on how the measurement is made, it may be the largest high definition screen in the Western hemisphere. The Miami Dolphins have a high-definition screen with a larger diagonal measurement, but Godzillatron has greater square footage. [6]

The scoreboard was installed as part of a US$150 million stadium renovation, $8 million of which is being spent on audiovisual improvements. The new high definition screen is the centerpiece of these improvements and it debuted at the start of the 2006 football season. [2] The screen has a pixel resolution of 2064 x 848.
