[edit] Famous Incidents section

The News segment mentions that R. Budd Dwyer was "falsely convicted." Is this accurate? I have never heard this assertion before, and it does not appear in the article on Wikipedia. 71.211.41.52 23:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I took it out. Unsourced an NPOV violation. 23skidoo 17:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] General

Just wondering... at what point does "live" stop being live? Is it 5 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 mins? Does it distinguish between a continuous feed (bleeped or cut for censorship) vs something played back from tape (or a digital source). Would a 5 minute delay for censorship still be live if there's no (other) editing taking place?

1) What about reality shows that are braodcasted live? 2) the article is slightly POV when saying that live TV si more dramatic or apealing. I know its case but it should be referneced for instance ratings of live sports vs. non-live.

[edit] Budd Dwyer viewership

I'm removing the unsourced statement that Dwyer's suicide by viewed by 50 million people. First off if it was broadcast live at all (and I don't believe it was -- this also needs to be verified) it would have only been seen locally, not by 50 million people. Certainly that many probably saw the news footage later, but that isn't the same as a live broadcast. 23skidoo 17:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Dice Clay on the Emmys

Does anyone recall what year Andrew Dice Clay did an infamous, profanity-laced routine during the Emmy Awards which was one of the events that sparked the implementing of delayed broadcasts for such events? I'm thinking 1987-88 but I can't be certain. 23skidoo 18:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Famous incidents on live television"

This really needs cleaning up. Incidents of people saying "fuck" on live TV (not actually all that rare in the modern era) are mixed in with huge worldwide news events like the Moon Landings. That description "famous" is also a magnet for POV. It also needs globalising: where's the incident where gay rights protestors invaded the BBC news studio, for example? And so on. 86.132.141.139 (talk) 01:30, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
