Episode•An episode is a part of a dramatic work such as a serial television or radio program.•Episodes which end in the middle of a climatic moment are often called cliffhangers, after the name used for early movie serials. Such episodes are frequently used in season finales of many prime time shows.•Shows usually have numbers or codes (aka, Production codes/numbers) for each episode.The X-Files, for example, assigned a code in the format "sXnn", with 's' identifying the season number and 'nn' being a two-digit number for each show, starting with '01'.C.

Hiatus•In television scheduling, a hiatus refers to a break of at least several weeks in the normal schedule of a television program. It can occur during a season of a television program, or can be between television seasons (usually starting in June and ending in August whenshooting starts for the next season).•In recent years, some television shows have been placed “on hiatus” by their networks for long periods of up to several years, effectively canceling them while leaving viewers and producers with the possible hope of the shows’ eventual return.K. Audience Measurement•Audience Measurement measure how many people are in an audience, usually in relation to radio listenership and television viewership, but also newspaper and magazine readership, and increasingly, usage of websites.•It is, to help broadcasters and advertisers determine who is listening, rather than just how many. This broader meaning is called audience research.L. WGA•The Writers Guild of America is a generic term referring to the joint efforts of two different US labor unions:•The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), representing TV and film writers around New York City.•The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), representing TV and film writers in Hollywood and southern California.M.

The best known of these ceremonies are the Primetime Emmy Awards.Why call it “Emmy”?•The name “Emmy” was derived from “Immy,” a nickname for the image orthicon camera tube (图像正析像管) , which was instrumental in the development of modern television.What’s meaning of the statuette?•The word was feminized as “Emmy” to complement the design chosen for the statuette, which depicted a winged, idealized woman holding an atom.•It become the symbol of the TV Academy's goal of supporting and uplifting the art and science of television: The wings represent the muse of art; the atom the electron of science.•In 1949, the Television Academy held the first Emmy Awards ceremony, an annual event created to recognize excellence in television programming.Part III.

CNN,ABC,FOX美国新闻台比较CNN:在1991年的海湾战争中，CNN的国际知名度得到提升，他们关于战争的现场报导吸引了全世界的目光。

由于CNN是通过与美国政府紧密合作而取得大多数的新闻的，很多人指责CNN并不试图做出准确的报导，而只是一个宣传工具。

由于遭到了很多关于「太美国中心」的指责，以及来自BBC和天空新闻的竞争，CNN国际现在为世界不同地区提供不同的新闻。

CNN在各地的新闻中心也聘请了很多当地记者，以确保能从更国际的观点来报导新闻。

在美国，CNN 则被保守派指责太过倾自由，而且在市场份额方面已经输给了福克斯新闻，目前是美国第二大新闻频道。

最著名的节目当属每晚的《拉里·金现场》，该节目是CNN（美国有线新闻网）收视率最高的节目。

节目开播于1985年，播出不久，就成为了CNN收视率最高的节目之一，而拉里·金也成为了第一个在世界范围内享有盛誉的脱口秀节目主持人。

播出时间：每一到周六18：00，周日17：00。

如今我们依旧能在CNN领略这位从业50载、73岁高龄的世界最富盛名的王牌主持人风采。

拉里·金2007年与CNN续约4年，年薪1400万美元，成为了历史上身价最高的男性新闻工作者。

拉里·金的做访谈节目的特点在于：直接、有人情味以及随机性。

直接体现在他那单刀直入的提问方式，从来都不拐弯抹角；虽然他的提问通常一针见血，却不会显露咄咄逼人的气势，反而是温文尔雅，注重受访者的感受；而随机性则在于他并不会在访谈之前进行过多的准备，在访谈过程中随时组织自己的问题。

FOX：尽管FOX NEWS新闻台影响力正因为在政治与娱乐之间得不到平衡而越来越得不到观众的信赖，但是它仍然是现在美国收视份额最高的电视新闻频道。

FOX NEWS的政治立场偏向保守中立，不过值得注意的是，最早揭露美军虐囚丑闻的，正是FOX 的新闻节目。

比起真人秀，FOX NEWS充分利用了它24小时不间断新闻频道的优势，因此除了常态的新闻报道之外，FOX也会做脱口秀节目。
