It's business as usual at KVOA, despite ownership change
1994
Why change things when you have the No. 1 show in town? You don't. Channel 4 had a change in ownership at midnight, Dec. 31. That's the only thing that has changed at NBC affiliate KVOA, according to station President and General Manager Jon F. Ruby. The new owner, the Evening Post Publishing Co., based in Charleston, S.C. \"felt that it acquired a fundamentally sound television station and didn't see any need to do any more than pay for it and move on down the road,\" Ruby said. \"Our goals are and will always be that we want to remain No. 1 with a strong news presence in this town, which is what we've always striven for. That will always be our main goal and our main objective.\" (excerpt)

Pop culture saturates presidential campaign
2004
When Democratic contender John Kerry described a gathering of musicians and actors who had bashed President [Bush] -- sometimes profanely -- as representing the \"heart and soul\" of the nation, it intensified a pop culture war that has infused the campaign almost since Day One. Republicans struck back quickly, labeling comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Chevy Chase -- who had headlined the fund- raiser for Kerry -- as out-of-touch elitists with nothing more insightful to say than debasing humor or raw profanity. -- The culture has rapidly balkanized into niche audiences, specialty cable channels and proliferating interest groups -- a bird watchers' group recently came out for Kerry. To communicate with people politically, you must crash the niches. That's why Bush or Kerry show up on \"Live with Regis and Kelly,\" or sit down with Jon Stewart's \"Daily Show\" on Comedy Central, but don't appear on \"Face the Nation.\" [Kathleen Hall Jamieson] also thinks that Stewart may be a secret weapon for Kerry because the comedian has been so anti-Bush. Others worry that shows like Stewart's or concert tours awaken voters but don't inform them.
