Derek Ricardo Harper (October 13, 1961) is a former basketball player. A second-team All-American at the University of Illinois, he was the 11th overall pick of the 1983 NBA draft and spent 16 seasons as a point guard in the NBA with the Mavericks, Knicks, Magic, and Lakers. He is regarded as one of the best players to never have been selected for an All-Star game.

Harper played three seasons for the Fighting Illini and coach Lou Henson having his best season in 1982–1983 when he led the Fighting Illini in scoring with 15.4 points per game. Harper was named First-Team All-Big Ten and Second-Team All-American in 1983 and was Honorable Mention All-Big Ten in both 1981 and 1982. Harper averaged 4.7 assists per game for his collegiate career and led the Big Ten in assists in the 1981–1982 season. Harper was elected to the “Illini Men’s Basketball All-Century Team” in 2004.

Harper lives in Dallas with his family. His daughter Dana Harper was a contestant on season 11 of The Voice. He is now a game analyst for the Dallas Mavericks on their locally broadcast games. Beginning in the fall of 2005, he was the weekend sports anchor at KTXA serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex until the station ended its newscasts. The Dallas Mavericks retired Harper’s #12 jersey during halftime of a game between the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, January 7, 2018. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Interestingly, Paramount did distribute the series in syndication after its Showtime run was over. In the Tidewater, Virginia market, it aired late night on WTVZ for a time. In the early nineties, it aired late mornings on KTXA, Channel 21, then Paramount-owned, in the Dallas-Fort Worth Market.

My memory is that it was shot on videotape, not film.

About 15 years ago, I learned about the Paramount syndication bible and took a peek at what series were available and which series had been remastered for HD distribution. It's still listed as available in the syndication bible at:

synbible.cbstvd.com/index_series

It says 116 episodes are available for syndication.

Having one of those moments.

There was a show on Showtime when I was a kid called Brothers.

There's a fair amount about the show that, IMHO, is important, historically. It was one of the earliest cable-exclusive shows, and the first cable-exclusive sitcom. It ran for five seasons, and, oh yeah, the premise was that one of the brothers was gay; he comes out in the pilot episode. This was handled much, much, much better than you would expect when I say "1984 sitcom", and, after a while, it just becomes "a sitcom where a couple of the characters happen to be gay." Even the not-so-much-gay-as-ecstatic best friend is the source of comedy, rather than the target of it, and is actually the most sensible member of the ensemble cast.

I could go on about what was so amazing about this show, but that's not the point. This is about lost media.

As near as I have been able to determine, the last surviving copies of this show come from a guy who recorded them onto VHS off of cable, and then 20+ years later ripped the VHS to files and uploaded them to youtube.

One episode is completely missing, and the first part of the pilot episode was uploaded, but is no longer there. I know it was uploaded because I downloaded it at one point, and... it's not impossible I now have the last complete copies (I maintain a backup) of the pilot that exists. I would, at this point, be surprised if the original studio copies exist-- if it was ever shot on film at all, that film has probably been discarded, or I would have expected it to show up on a streaming service by now, and it was never released on VHS or DVD.

(1/2)

Dallas District Office  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 13, 2020

CBS BROADCAST AFFILLIATE IN TEXAS TO PAY $215,000 TO SETTLE EEOC AGE SUIT FOR FEMALE REPORTER

Traffic Reporter Denied Hire Based on Preference for Younger Women, Agency Charged

DALLAS – CBS Stations Group of Texas will pay $215,000 and furnish significant equitable relief to settle a federal age discrimination lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today. CBS Stations Group of Texas is a division of New York-based CBS Corporation. CBS Corporation owns and operates a group of 29 television stations throughout the United States, including a Dallas/Fort Worth television station, KTXA, Inc., locally known as “CBS 11.” The EEOC charged that CBS violated federal law when it refused to hire Tammy Dombeck Campbell for a full-time traffic reporter position at the Dallas/Fort Worth station because of her age. The EEOC said that Campbell had worked for CBS 11 as a freelance, non-staff traffic reporter. When the station’s morning full-time traffic reporter resigned in October 2014, the company initiated a search for a replacement. The CBS job announcement stated that “the ideal candidate” would have a strong knowledge of local traffic in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and that the “applicant must have at least five years professional broadcasting experience.” The EEOC said that CBS 11 hired a 24-year-old applicant for the full-time traffic reporter position. The younger applicant was a former NFL cheerleader, and the EEOC maintained that the she did not meet the hiring criteria CBS had advertised. CBS 11 also had made an offer to a 27-year old applicant who accepted and then withdrew from the hiring process. Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which prohibits discrimination against people age 40 or older. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. CBS Stations Group of Texas; Television Station KTXA and KTVT-TV, Civil Action No. 3:17-cv-02624) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, after first attempting to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. Under the consent decree signed by U.S. District Chief Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn, resolving the suit, CBS Stations Group of Texas will pay will pay $215,000 to Ms. Campbell and commits not to engage in age discrimination. The company will also provide training on the ADEA, publish a notice of employee rights, and report to the EEOC on its compliance with the requirements of consent decree. “Tammy Campbell was clearly qualified for the position of traffic reporter,” said Joel Clark, EEOC senior trial attorney for the Dallas District Office. “The EEOC argued to the court that CBS 11 preferred a younger, less qualified applicant, and that the employer defaulted to unfounded stereotypes about female reporters.” EEOC Regional Attorney Robert A. Canino added, “In explaining its decision, the company relied on what was called the ‘it’ factor. The EEOC was prepared to prove that, for Ms. Campbell, ‘it’ was her age. We hope that the resolution of this case will be another step forward in moving past ageist attitudes that can limit opportunities in the field of broadcast television.” The EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.

The era of baseball on free over-the-air television is coming to an end

If you grew up in Chicago anytime from the early 1950s through the late 1990s, one thing you could count on was Cubs baseball televised on WGN-TV. It began with all the Cubs home games being televised, and until 1988 all of those were in the daytime, meaning thousands of school kids could watch the end of games after school let out in mid-afternoon. After 1967, more than 140 games a year were carried by WGN — and in the late 1960s this was far, far more than any other team showed on free TV — further cementing the relationship between the Cubs, their fans, and the television station.

This isn’t even counting the many thousands of fans who got attached to the Cubs when WGN-TV began to be carried on national cable/satellite TV in the early 1980s. This led to many people who never lived in Chicago at all to become Cubs fans for life.

This article isn’t about them, though; it’s about the long-standing tradition of Cubs games being carried on free, over-the-air broadcast television, sustained by advertising for the station, who then paid a rights fee to the team for carrying the games.

P.K. Wrigley might not have been a great team owner; his benign neglect of the franchise on the field helped lead to decades of losing. But one thing he realized, long before most of his fellow owners did, was the value of TV as a promotional tool. He knew that putting games on television would create the desire of viewers to come to his ballpark, while his fellow owners feared that free TV games would reduce attendance. It was quite the opposite.

In 1998 the number of games on WGN-TV was reduced, as cable and satellite distribution became more common. About half the Cubs schedule migrated to cable, first on Fox Sports Net, later Comcast SportsNet, the channel now known as NBC Sports Chicago.

But Chicago is still the major-league leader in games carried on free, OTA television, both Cubs and White Sox games. Of the 30 major-league teams, 19 of them have all their games (save for a few on Fox-TV’s national broadcasts) on cable outlets, and according to my colleagues at other SB Nation baseball sites, for several of those teams this has been the case for nearly a decade.

Here are the 11 teams that will still have some games on free broadcast television in 2019.

Cubs: 70 games (45 WGN-TV, 25 ABC7 Chicago) White Sox: 55 games (WGN-TV) Yankees: 21 games (WPIX) Giants: 13 games (KNTV/NBC Bay Area) Dodgers: 10 games (KTLA, simulcast of SportsNet LA games) Indians: 4 games (WKYC-TV) Angels: KCOP, only games that conflict with NBA/NHL playoffs Athletics: KOFY, only games that conflict with NBA/NHL playoffs Phillies: WCAU-TV, home opener and “select” Friday/Saturday games Mets: WPIX, did 25 games in 2018, no 2019 schedule yet Brewers: WBME carried games in 2018, no 2019 schedule yet

The Rangers are televising two spring training games on OTA channel KTXA-21, but none during the regular season.

That’s a guaranteed total of at least 198 games, presuming the Mets once again have a 25-game schedule on WPIX. The Mets are carrying three spring training games on that station, so I am assuming they likely have a similar regular-season schedule planned. That means the Cubs and White Sox account for 63 percent of all games that will be televised free and over the air during 2019. The “conflict” games and others without a specific count above likely amount to a very small number, probably less than half a dozen for each of the teams listed.

Fox-TV will be carrying 25 games on free, over-the-air channels this summer. Thus the total number of free, OTA baseball broadcasts in 2019 will likely amount to about 250 games, which is slightly more than 10 percent of all games.

And next year, with the Cubs moving to the Marquee Network and the White Sox having previously announced they’ll be moving their entire schedule to NBC Sports Chicago, that number will be reduced even further.

The Dodgers will be televising a small number of games on free TV in the Los Angeles area largely because their cable channel, SportsNet LA, does not have widespread coverage in the L.A. area. They could add some more games late in the season as they have done in the past; their current OTA schedule contains no games after June 15.

The Cubs could please a large portion of their fanbase by putting a small number of games, maybe a dozen or two, on a free, over-the-air channel in 2020 and beyond. WGN-TV could be the outlet, or perhaps ABC7 Chicago. The Cubs wouldn’t lose any money here as they’d wind up charging a rights fee to carry the games, which would likely be produced by the Marquee Network, so the Cubs would continue to control the content. This is what I’d recommend to the Cubs, anyway. The 2019 season will be the 72nd year of WGN-TV Cubs broadcasts in Chicago, of at least 70 games a season, and it’s helped create the huge national fanbase for the Chicago Cubs. A bit of a nod to history, which could even make money for the team, would be welcome.

But otherwise, the 2019 season represents the end of an era. The 125 Cubs and White Sox games on free, OTA TV in 2019 are going to vanish at the end of the season, with perhaps a small number continuing beyond this year.

Times and technology change, and the way people watch television does, too. If the Cubs can come up with an online streaming option for fans that doesn’t conflict with the draconian MLB blackout policies or this awful map:

... then that could be an option for Cubs fans who don’t want to subscribe to cable or satellite just to view games on the Marquee Network.

2020, which sounds like a science fiction year far in the future but is less than a year away, will be a year of great change in local baseball television broadcasting, at least in Chicago. Later in the year I’ll be writing more about WGN-TV and that 72-season relationship with the Cubs, a span unmatched by any other sports team and a broadcast outlet.

Tune into Those radio Channels for Christmas music in 2017

[Editor’s note: This story was upgraded for 2017.]

Radio stations in Dallas-Fort Worth have already transformed into the format for this year’s festive period.

What’s the planet’s worst Christmas song?

While you could flow a Pandora holiday playlist or to drop the needle on that traditional Elvis Presley Christmas LP, there’s something good about turning your radio dial into a beloved station instead. Here is where you’ll find tunes in your Regional dial:

KLUV 98.7 FM

For decades KLUV has been the go-to oldies station of this area and it has grown into a go-to Christmas frequency once the calendar turns to November.

Until 2013, it had been sister station KVIL that initiated programming before handing the candy cane off. In years past, many months of music was capped off in a wintery way. For 24 hours, beginning on the day of Christmas Eve, KLUV’s continual holiday playlist is simulcast on KTXA 21 for a traditional Yule Log TV particular where a televised image of a crackling fireplace is endorsed by the traditional holiday songs for the best living room gathering background. You know, unless you truly have a fireplace.

The Star 102.1 FM

In one of the very notable shakeups of local radio landscape in our recent past, 102.1 the Edge recently dulled its own alt-rock blade. Currently called “The Star,” 102.1 will be all-holiday-all-the-time until the New Year, when it will change back into the “adult contemporary” format it has been throughout 2017.

Should you want your holiday cheer to be uninterrupted, The Star has commercial-free hours at 8 pm, 10 a.m. and two p.m.

For more holiday fun, visit guidelive.com/holidays.
