• Are hotels checking out of Bible business?
••••In 1991, Troy Cory helped bring the Gideon Bibles to China. He travelled with two executives of the Gideons to Beijing who supplied a local printshop with the plates to have the bibles printed in China. Click for More • Read More

Sometime in the future you might not find a Bible in the bedside nightstand. A recent survey by STR, a hospitality analytics company, found that the percentage of hotels that offer religious materials in rooms has dropped significantly over the last decade.
•••• Hotels also have been under pressure lately from atheist groups.
•••• The nonprofit group Freedom From Religion Foundation that promotes separation of church and state, wrote to major hotel companies last year, asking them to keep Bibles out of hotel rooms.
•••• Bibles started to become a hotel standard in the late 1800s when three traveling businessmen founded Gideons International with a plan to spread the Gospels by placing the Bible in hotel rooms across the country.
•••• The nonprofit group now has about 270,000 members in 200 countries. In its latest fiscal year, Gideon International spent about $100 million to distribute Bibles to hotels, prisons, hospitals and other locations, about the same amount as in 2015, according to the group's financial statements.
•••• "The decline of religious materials in hotels, as cited in the survey, is reflective of increasing secularism and independence in the world," he said. "This has resulted in an erosion of spiritual awareness."
•••• Marriott International, the world's largest hotel company, supplies a Bible and the Book of Mormon in the rooms of every other hotel in the franchise. But the company has recently decided that no religious materials should be offered at two of its newest millennial-oriented hotel brands, Moxy and Edition hotels.
•••• Among the reasons for the change, according to industry experts, is a need to appeal to younger American travelers who are less devout than their parents or grandparents and to avoid offending international travelers such as Muslims or Buddhists.
•••• However, travelers who regularly read the Bible probably already have one with them, either in book or digital form.

• FRITZ COLEMAN'S DEFYING GRAVITY
LA's' beloved NBC4 weatherman, Fritz Coleman is bringing his one-man stage-show back to the historic El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood for three performances only - Sunday December, 13, 20 and 27 at 2 pm.
••••He was named "Best Weatherman" in nearly every major paper in Southern California, including the Orange County Register, the San Bernardino Sun, and four times in the Los Angeles Daily News.
••• Fitz puts on his holiday hat to share the funniest show with his hilarious insight into our BOOMER generation!
••••The show resonates with people, and Fritz has observed, "Every generation has a similar feeling as they look back, hence the term 'good old days.' But these days we're living through global threats and national politics, and people are thinking 'what the heck's going on.' So I find that my show seems to crackle with people now because it harkens back to a time when life seemed more cut and dry, less complicated, and a little easier to cope with. So I provide a little nostalgia and fun."
••••Coleman said, "I have no delusions about what my comedy is. I'm not Lenny Bruce or George Carlin. I'm not trying to push the first amendment envelope. I'm not trying to educate people politically. I don't do political jokes. Honestly, my whole wish is to give people a show where they say 'That just felt good. Thank you, it was cathartic.' The highest compliment for me is hearing that I've taken you out of your present cares, made you laugh and feel better. If that happens, I've done my job."••
• Don't miss Fritz' hilarious insight into our BOOMER generation!
•••"...Surprising, incisive and powerful." - Daily Variety
••• "The easy?going, folksy charm that has made Coleman an LA?area television news favorite for a quarter of a century also follows him to the stage. On the Fritz, simply moves the former standup comic-°©?turned newsman from one stage venue to another." - Stage Scene LA
••• "His skills go beyond finding everyday humor in various topics. His relaxed style and gift for language add depth, as though he's having a one-?one conversation," - Daily Breeze
••• "An authentic and terrific performance." - TVIMagazine.com

• 108- AT&T Buys Time Warner for $86Billion
•••• In a mega-deal a of such enormity to not only the TV and entertainment industry but also politically, AT&T has bought media and entertainment giant Time Warner.
••••Under the terms of the takeover, Time Warner shareholders will receive $107.50 per share, implying a total equity value of $85.4 billion and a total transaction value of $108.7 billion, including Time Warner's net debt. Not surprisingly the acquisition -- approved unanimously by the boards of directors of both companies and expected to close before year-end 2017 -- will be subject to a multitude of regulatory requirements. AT&T and Time Warner are currently determining which licences subject to rule by US regulator the FCC will be transferred to AT&T in connection with the transaction.
•••• If it does go through, the transaction will leave the communications giant with a market-leading portfolio of infrastructure assets in telecoms, internet and satellite assets (through its previous acquisition of DIRECTV) and also some of the leading global TV and film brands. These include HBO, which consists of US premium pay-TV and streaming services; Warner Bros. Entertainment, which consists of television, feature film, home video and videogame production and distribution; Warner Bros. film franchises include Harry Potter and DC Comics, and its produced TV series include Big Bang Theory and Gotham; Turner consists of US and international basic cable networks, including TNT, TBS, CNN and Cartoon Network/Adult Swim.
••••Explaining the rationale for the mega-deal, AT&T said the newly merged company would have the complementary strengths to lead the next wave of innovation in converging media and communications industry positioned to create new customer choices -- from content creation and distribution to a mobile-first experience that's personal and social. It added that the new company will offer more relevant and valuable addressable advertising; innovate with ad-supported content models; better inform content creation; and make over the top (OTT) and TV everywhere products smarter and more personalised.
••••"This is a perfect match of two companies with complementary strengths who can bring a fresh approach to how the media and communications industry works for customers, content creators, distributors and advertisers," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T chairman and CEO. "Premium content always wins. It has been true on the big screen, the TV screen and now it's proving true on the mobile screen. We'll have the world's best premium content with the networks to deliver it to every screen. A big customer pain point is paying for content once but not being able to access it on any device, anywhere. Our goal is to solve that. We intend to give customers unmatched choice, quality, value and experiences that will define the future of media and communications."
••••Added Time Warner chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes: "This is a great day for Time Warner and its shareholders. Combining with AT&T dramatically accelerates our ability to deliver our great brands and premium content to consumers on a multi-platform basis and to capitalise on the tremendous opportunities created by the growing demand for video content… Joining forces with AT&T will allow us to innovate even more quickly and create more value for consumers along with all our distribution and marketing partners, and allow us to build on a track record of creative and financial excellence that is second to none in our industry… This is a natural fit between two companies with great legacies of innovation that have shaped the modern media and communications landscape."

• 101- Dodger Voice Vin Scully Retires - end of an era
By Gary Sunkin
Fans send Vin Scully off with a teary good-bye and a key to the city by LA mayor Eric Garcetti -
"It's time for Dodger baseball! Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good (afternoon/evening) to you, wherever you may be." Scully's signature introduction to Dodger games.
•••• After 67 years as the radio and tv voice of the Dodgers, Vin Scully retires.
• He preferred to not stand under much of a spotlight in this final season-
so his farewell tour came to him. It has long been a tradition that umpires, before the first game of every series at Dodger Stadium, look up at the booth and uniformly salute Scully. But this season, both players and umpires, sometimes in uniform, have taken elevator rides to the fifth floor to visit his booth to simply say thank you.
•••• Scully stories? -- there are many. Writer Bill Plaschke remembers his Scully stories began when he was a young reporter covering the Dodgers for the LA Times in the late 1980s. "I would sneak a radio to my place in the Dodger Stadium press box and stick headphones into my ears and listen to him broadcast the final three innings. I was typing so furiously under deadline pressure I couldn't really watch the games, so Scully watched them for me, and taught me baseball in the process."
•••• Vincent Edward "Vin" Scully was born November 29, 1927 in The Bronx and grew up in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan
•••• Scully discovered his love of baseball at age 8, when he saw the results of the 2nd game of the 1936 World Series at a laundromat and felt a pang of sympathy for the badly defeated New York Giants. Since he lived near the Polo Grounds and was able to attend many games for free, he became a "very big Giants fan." Scully decided at eight years old that he wanted to become a sports announcer, when he became fascinated with the football broadcasts on the radio
•••• In 1950, Scully joined Red Barber and Connie Desmond in the Brooklyn Dodgers radio and television booths. When Barber got into a salary dispute with World Series sponsor Gillette in 1953, Scully took Barber's spot for the 1953 World Series.
•••• At the age of 25, Scully became the youngest person to broadcast a World Series game (a record that stands to this day). Barber left the Dodgers after the 1953 season to work for the New York Yankees. Scully eventually became the Dodgers' principal announcer and announced Dodgers games in Brooklyn until 1957
•••• In 1955 Scully announced Brooklyn's first world championship -- "Ladies and gentleman, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world.'' Later Scully accompanied the Dodgers to their new location in Southern California beginning with the 1958 season, and quickly became popular.
•••••Vin Scully has been with the dodgers for  67 years since its days in Brooklyn, retiring as the radio and television voice of the Dodgers, and greatest announcer in the history of broadcasting. Recently, Scully called most Dodger home games (and selected road games) on SportsNet LA television and KLAC radio.
••••During the last three years, a greedy stalemate has kept the Dodgers off television in more than half of Los Angeles-area homes, costing fans a chance to say good-bye to Scully until a deal was struck that KTLA would broadcast the team's final six regular-season games. Through it all, Scully has openly acknowledged sadness but refused to show anger or place blame, and fans have not complained about his lack of intervention. They want him to be neutral. They love him for who he is.

•••On his last Sunday, Mr. Osgood assured viewers that they could still find him on the radio. He will contribute to his long-running program "The Osgood File," where he has been known to read vignettes and poems about the day's news.
••• He ended his farewell to his viewers with a few wistful bars from a folk song, written by Woody Guthrie: "So long, it's been good to know you/So long it's been good to know you/So long it's been good to know you/A long time since I've been home/And I've got to be drifting along."
