The Spoonman was a program hosted by Brian Carlton on the triple m network in the late 1990s and returned in 2005 for three and a half years, the show wrapping up in 2008. It was a show that covered many topics, but the "hot talk" format in the U.S. would probably be the best way to describe the program. Talkback radio has historically been an important political forum in Australia and functions much like

2343-637: The 24-hour networks in the U.S. Traditionally, politically driven talk radio from the United States does not air on Canadian stations, with a few scattered exceptions (e.g. the now-defunct CFBN , which carried political programming such as the Glenn Beck Program and Dennis Miller , and the also-discontinued talk format of CHAM , which carried Miller). Top political programs such as The Rush Limbaugh Show are never broadcast on Canadian stations, mainly due to high rights fees compared to their relevance to non-American audiences.

These shows often rely less on political discussion and analysis than their AM counterparts and often employ the use of pranks and "bits" for entertainment purposes. In the United States and Canada , satellite radio services offer uncensored "free-wheeling" original programming. ABC News & Talk is an example of "repackaging" for the digital airwaves shows featured on their terrestrial radio stations. Expressing and debating political opinions has been

In 1987, the CCC was peripherally involved in the first cyberespionage case to make international headlines. A group of German hackers led by Karl Koch , who was loosely affiliated with the CCC, was arrested for breaking into US government and corporate computers, and then selling operating-system source code to

2911-579: The Interior released a statement in which they denied that R2-D2 has been used by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA); this statement however does not eliminate the possibility that it has been used by state-level German police forces.

3124-482: The Staatstrojaner software. The software was found to have the ability to remote control the target computer, to capture screenshots , and to fetch and run arbitrary extra code. The CCC says that having this functionality built in is in direct contradiction to the ruling of the constitutional court. In addition, there were a number of security problems with the implementation. The software was controllable over

3195-502: The United States. In an odd turn of events, Pyne's radio show led him to television. Henry suggested to John Kluge that Joe Pyne should be put on Metromedia's newly acquired TV station in Los Angeles, KTTV-TV. Kluge told Henry to speak to KTTV-TV general manager Al Kriven, but Henry had already done that, and Kriven had adamantly refused. Kluge telephoned Kriven, and Pyne soon became the nation's first controversial late-night talk television host. The Joe Pyne Show on KTTV-TV quickly shot to

This trojan has also been nicknamed R2-D2 because the string "C3PO-r2d2-POE" was found in its code; another alias for it is 0zapftis ("It's tapped!" in Bavarian , a sardonic reference to Oktoberfest ). According to a Sophos analysis, the trojan's behavior matches that described in

3692-530: The first to have done so. KABC station manager Ben Hoberman and KMOX station manager Robert Hyland independently developed the all-talk format. KTKK , 630 AM in Salt Lake City, then known as KSXX, adopted a full-time talk schedule in 1965 and is the third station in the country to have done so. KSXX started with all local talent, and KTKK, which now airs on 1640 AM, has a larger portion of its schedule featuring local talent than most other stations that run

Notable members of the CCC regularly function as expert witnesses for the German constitutional court , organize lawsuits and campaigns, or otherwise influence the political process. The CCC hosts the annual Chaos Communication Congress , Europe's biggest hacker gathering. When the event was held in the Hamburg congress center in 2013, it drew 9,000 guests. For the 2016 installment, 11,000 guests were expected, with additional viewers following

4118-623: The second largest annual event. Another yearly CCC event taking place on the Easter weekend is the Easterhegg , which is more workshop oriented than the other events. The CCC often uses the c-base station located in Berlin as an event location or as function rooms. The CCC publishes the irregular magazine Datenschleuder ( data slingshot ) since 1984. The Berlin chapter produces a monthly radio show called Chaosradio  [ de ] which picks up various technical and political topics in

Joe Pyne and Alan Henry were major factors in establishing a new trend in radio and television programming. Alan Henry elaborates on the launching of Joe Pyne on KLAC radio and KTTV-TV in his memoir A Man and His Medium . Two radio stations – KMOX , 1120 AM in St. Louis, Missouri , and KABC , 790 AM in Los Angeles – adopted an all- talk show format in 1960, and both claim to be

As a result, 2UE and owned by the same company as 2GB) abandoned most of its rigid political and hot topic -driven talkback programming in 2016, moving to

4615-461: Was an immediate success. Henry encouraged the confrontation with listeners and guests for which Pyne became famous. Pyne coined the line "Go gargle with razor blades," for guests with whom he disagreed. The Pyne show was the beginning of the confrontational talk format that later spread across the radio spectrum.

The CCC has repeatedly warned phone users of the weakness of biometric identification in the wake of the 2008 Schäuble fingerprints affair. In their "hacker ethics"

4899-462: Was fired by KABC in Los Angeles. The speculation was that Pyne was too controversial and confrontational for the ABC corporate culture. Henry hired Pyne on the spot and paid him $ 25,000 a year, which was then a huge salary for a radio personality. Pyne was given the night show on KLAC. Part of the agreement with Pyne was that Henry and Lightfoot would give him broad control of his program content. The show
