tyrannical bastard 3060 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Newton Minow, the former FCC chairman who once coined television as a "vast wasteland" has died. https://tvnewscheck.com/regulation/article/newton-minow-former-fcc-chief-who-dubbed-tv-a-vast-wasteland-dies/ During his time, he championed the passage of the All-channel receivers act, mandating that all televisions had the ability to receive the UHF band, as well as helping lay the groundwork for NET and later, PBS. The "S.S. Minnow" on Gilligan's Island was coined after him, in jest to his "vast wasteland" remarks. A minnow being a small fish, helped to make the name stick. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
