| | | | game shows: Encyclopedia II - Television syndication - First-run syndication As with radio in the U.S., television networks in their early years particularly didn't offer full-days-worth of programming for their affiliates, even in the evening or "prime time" hours; and, from the beginning, there were some stations which were not affiliated with any network, and all sought to supplement their locally produced programming and whatever network feeds there were with items which could be flexibly scheduled. The development of videotape and, much later, enhanced satellite downlink access furthered these aims.

| | | | game shows: Encyclopedia II - Television in the United States - The art of television The U.S. is the biggest exporter of television content in the world. In the U.S., television production is influenced by two major parties: advertisers, who hold sway over the broadcast and basic cable networks, and cable systems, who hold sway over the pay cable networks. The owners of the broadcast and basic cable must attract advertising dollars, while the owners of pay cable networks such as HBO must only attract viewership.
Most television programming is guided by the same trinity that leads movie production: producers, directors ...

| | | | game shows: Encyclopedia II - Knox College Illinois - History Knox College was founded in 1837 by anti-slavery social reformers, led by George Washington Gale. One founder, Rev. Samuel Wright, actively supported the Underground Railroad. The original name for the school was "Knox Manual Labor College", but it has been known by its present name since 1857.
The naming of the college is a curious story. Though founded by a colony of Presbyterians and Congregationalists—and therefore plausibly named after Calvinist leader John Knox—it is located in what was already named Knox County after ...

| | | | game shows: Encyclopedia II - David Letterman - Hosting The Late Show Letterman remained with NBC for eleven years. When Johnny Carson announced that he would retire in May 1992, a protracted, multi-lateral battle erupted over who would replace the long-time Tonight host. Eventually, executives at NBC announced Carson's frequent guest-host Jay Leno as Carson's replacement. Letterman, a longtime protégé of Carson's and who had frequently credited Carson with boosting his career, was reportedly bitterly disappointed and angry at not having been given the Tonight Show job. In 1993, after receiving ...
