Media Broadcast | '''Media Broadcast''' | Media Broadcast is Germany's largest nationwide broadcaster operator for the broadcasting and media industry. The company designs, builds, and operates multimedia transmission platforms for TV and radio. It also operates transmitter, cable, and satellite networks. The company is part of the Freenet Group and is headquartered in Cologne. |
Media Broadcast | History | History
thumb|Antenna of Media Broadcast Shortwave Station Nauen
In Germany, the monopoly for all broadcasting has been held by Deutsche Post since its inception.
With the privatization of Deutsche Bundespost in 1995, the provision of radio and television stations was transferred to Deutsche Telekom. From 2001, the broadcasting division belonged to the subsidiary T-Systems, where it was managed as a separate Media&Broadcast division. In January 2008, M&B merged with the French broadcasting network operator Télédiffusion de France (TDF); since February 2008, it has operated as Media Broadcast GmbH.
In March 2016, Freenet acquired the Media Broadcast Group, excluding the satellite division, from the TPG consortium for €295 million.
Because the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) warned Media Broadcast against competition, it should sell individual FM transmitters. The company escalated the situation and sold around 1,000 FM transmitters nationwide at once.
In April 2018, Media Broadcast's managing director, Wolfgang Breuer, threatened to shut down large parts of Germany's FM broadcast network. This led to strong media coverage with criticism from various quarters, including the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB). There were also accusations that the company had "turned the FM infrastructure, largely dating back to the days of the Deutsche Bundespost, into a pure object of speculation," and it was stated that "private and public broadcasters, as well as their service providers, are being blackmailed."INFOSAT Verlag & Werbe GmbH: . In: . 9. April 2018 (infosat.de [abgerufen am 10. April 2018]). |
Media Broadcast | Transmitter-networks | Transmitter-networks
For radio and television broadcasting, Media Broadcast primarily uses transmission towers and masts of Deutsche Funkturm GmbH, but also uses facilities of ARD stations in Bavarian, Hessian, North German, Saarland, Southwest, and West German Broadcasting. For shortwave broadcasting, the company operates its own transmitter site in Nauen and the Usingen earth station for satellite uplink. |

There is obviously subjectivity in humour, but firstly there are numerous compilations of these online, even in fairly reputable places refs 1,2,3,4; secondly many of them are deliberate jokes e.g. look at the name origin section on Cox–Zucker machine and lastly there are similar pages e.g. in mathematics Mathematical joke or elsewhere Lists of pejorative terms for people where inclusion or exclusion of examples can't be completely objective.

Draft:The Art of the Lie (short film) | Short description | The Art of the Lie is a 2025 satirical short film directed by Misha Manson-Smith, starring Marc Wootton as Brendan Allen, a director attempting to make a rockumentary about singer-songwriter John Grant.
Written by Wootton and Manson-Smith, it blends narrative fiction, reality and music video. Shot in real and constructed scenarios, Wootton is the only actor, while everyone else is real and unaware that Allen is a fictional character.
The film features music from Grant's 2024 album The Art of the Lie. |
Draft:The Art of the Lie (short film) | Plot Summary | Plot Summary
Director Brendan Allen wins the chance to direct a rockumentary about the launch of John Grant's latest album, but is fired from the project when it emerges that he previously made a flattering biopic of Harvey Weinstein.
Allen sets out to complete the John Grant rockumentary on his own terms —first hiring doppelgängers to impersonate Grant before ultimately deciding to become Grant himself. Surprisingly, Grant's most ardent fans buy it and Allen finds himself trapped in a persona that he hates. |
Draft:The Art of the Lie (short film) | Production | Production
Wootton and Manson-Smith had previously collaborated with Grant on the Comedy Central series Gooseberry, a Sacha Baron Cohen production for which Grant composed the title theme. Grant later approached Wootton and Manson-Smith to create a music video for Grant's track It's A Bitch, but the project "spiralled into something far more ambitious: a metafictional satire in which a failed director's obsession with his subject leads him to 'become' the artist himself". The central character Brendan Allen, an unscrupulous documentarian, was reprised from Wootton and Manson-Smith's Showtime series La La Land that The New York Times described similarly as "fusing prank comedy, performance art, improvisation and reality television." |
Draft:The Art of the Lie (short film) | Music | Music
The film is scored with music from Grant's acclaimed album The Art of the Lie, providing a tonal foundation for the film to explore themes of deception and self-perception. |
Draft:The Art of the Lie (short film) | Release and Reception | Release and Reception
The Art of the Lie has been featured in music and film publications. In its review, Shots Magazine noted that the film "dives headfirst into delusion, ego and identity with their trademark gonzo flair... held together by Wootton's unwavering performance... this 30-minute gem is chock-full of laughs". |

Seymour has written and spoken widely on human rights in China and Taiwan, often emphasizing political reform and legal accountability. In 1981, during U.S. congressional testimony, a comment he made comparing human rights in Taiwan and China was controversially interpreted by Taiwan’s government-controlled press as minimizing the differences.
He has also influenced other scholars; author Gordon G. Chang credited Seymour with sparking his interest in the Korean Peninsula. |

In 1998, Seymour co-authored New Ghosts, Old Ghosts: Prisons and Labor Reform Camps in China with Richard Anderson. The book received reviews in The New York Times and The China Journal, and was described by Perspectives chinoises as a significant contribution to the understanding of China’s prison system.
The book sparked a public debate with activist Harry Wu, who challenged Seymour’s inmate population estimates.
Seymour has contributed entries to academic encyclopedias, including:
"Ethnic Conflicts: East Asia" in the Encyclopedia of the Developing World (Routledge, 2005)

Como's Golden Records | Infobox album
| Como's Golden Records is a compliation album by Perry Como released by RCA Victor in late 1954 or early 1955.
According to Billboard, the album's title referred to the fact that the songs it compiled were "Golden Records" — the ones that "sold over a million". It had songs from as early as 1945 and up to one of Como's (then) latest hits – "Wanted". |
Como's Golden Records | Release | Release
The album, originally released with a gold cover, compiled eight tracks and was available in two formats: as a 10-inch LP record (cat. no. LPM-3224) and as double-EP record in a gatefold sleeve (EPB-3224).
In 1958, it was re-issued on a 12-inch LP with a new cover (cat. no. LOP 1007). The new version had 14 tracks, seven on each side. |
Como's Golden Records | Reception | Reception
Billboard reviewed the 10-inch LP in its issue from 26 February 1955, praising the "attractive gold album cover". "It's a clever packaging idea, and should pay off well in sales," wrote the reviewer, also noting "the liner commentary by Irving Berlin", saying that it enhanced the "prospects of the LP". The album was awarded a rating of 78 points out of 100.
In his retrospective review of the 1958 version for AllMusic, Stephen Cook notes that, although "supplanted by more recent hits roundups on CD, this original RCA package still offers listeners a solid mix of Perry Como's big smashes from the '40s and '50s", giving the album 4 out of 5 possible stars. |
