United States Joint Forces Command

The United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) was a Unified Combatant Command of the United States Department of Defense. USJFCOM was a functional command that provided specific services to the military. The last commander was Army Gen. Ray Odierno and the Command Senior Enlisted was Marine Sergeant Major Bryan B. Battaglia. As directed by the President to identify opportunities to cut costs and rebalance priorities, Defense Secretary Robert Gates recommended that USJFCOM be disestablished and its essential functions reassigned to other unified combatant commands. Formal disestablishment occurred on 4 August 2011.

History
USJFCOM was formed in 1999 when the old United States Atlantic Command was renamed and given a new mission: leading the transformation of the Department of Defense through experimentation and education. USLANTCOM had been active from 1947 to 1993 as a primarily U.S. Navy command, focused upon the wartime defence of the Atlantic sea lanes against Soviet Union attack. After the end of the Cold War, a 1993 reorganization gave the Command a new acronym, USACOM, and brought United States Army Forces Command and Air Combat Command under its authority.

In late 2004, U.S. Joint Forces Command assumed the role of primary conventional force provider in the Department of Defense. This landmark change assigned nearly all U.S. conventional forces to Joint Forces Command. Requirements, for example, for U.S. service personnel to support the transformation of the Armed Forces of Liberia, were fed to JFCOM, in this case via Africa Command, and JFCOM liaised with the service staffs to obtain available forces. Along with this responsibility came the task to develop a new 'risk-assessment' process that provided national leaders a worldwide perspective on force-sourcing solutions.

Its operations and exercises included Noble Resolve, an experimentation campaign plan to enhance homeland defense and improve military support to civil authorities in advance of and following natural and man-made disasters and Empire Challenge, an annual intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) interoperability demonstration.

Mission
United States Joint Forces Command was the only combatant command focused on the transformation of U.S. military capabilities. The commander of USJFCOM oversaw the command's four primary roles in transformation – joint concept development and experimentation, joint training, joint interoperability and integration, and the primary conventional force provider as outlined in the Unified Command Plan approved by the President. Its Unified Command Plan designated USJFCOM as the "transformation laboratory" of the United States military to enhance the combatant commanders' capabilities to implement the president's strategy. USJFCOM developed joint operational concepts, tested those concepts through rigorous experimentation, educated joint leaders, trained joint task force commanders and staffs, and recommended joint solutions to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to better integrate their warfighting capabilities.

Organization
USJFCOM included members from each branch of the U.S. military, civil servants, contract employees, and consultants. It had four component commands, a sub-unified command (Special Operations component is SOCJFCOM) and eight subordinate activities, including: Joint Warfighting Center; Joint Systems Integration Center; Joint Transformation Command for Intelligence; and Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC). JFCOM's Service components were the CONUS based commands that provided forces to other combatant commands: United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), United States Fleet Forces Command (USFLTFORCOM), Air Combat Command (ACC), and United States Marine Corps Forces Command (MARFORCOM). USJFCOM Joint Concept Development and Experimentation (JCD&E) (J9) aimed to develop innovative joint concepts and capabilities providing experimentally proven solutions to the most pressing problems facing the joint force. It aimed to rapidly deliver operationally relevant solutions to support current operations and drive DOTMLPF and policy changes to better enable the future joint force. JCD&E aimed to provide thought leadership and collaborative environments to generate innovative ideas with a range of interagency, multinational, academic and private sector partners. The C2 (Command and Control) Core was a DoD project sponsored by Joint Forces Command and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense/Network and Information Integration (OASD/NII) to develop an open standard-supporting, extensible markup language (XML)-based command and control (C2) data exchange. It represents the first major implementation of the Universal Core v2.0, a federal information sharing initiative. It supports the DoD Net Centric Data Strategy by enabling data to be visible, accessible, understandable, trustworthy and interoperable. The overarching goal of this project is to support national and coalition warfighters by improving joint interoperability at the data and information layer. Accomplishing these strategic goals within the C2 community involves publishing and evolving agreed-upon standards that exchange partners (services and, down the line, combatant commands and agencies) can use to share data more broadly, efficiently and effectively. The C2 Core standards also link C2 design guidance emerging at both the DoD enterprise level and within multiple C2-related communities of interest and programs of record to support the broadest range of interoperability requirements possible.

Among the command's many directorates and departments was Project Alpha, a JFCOM rapid idea analysis group created to "identify high-impact ideas from industry, academia and the defense community that could transform the United States Department of Defense into an organization better equipped to deal with the uncertain landscape of the future." Project Alpha was discontinued as part of an internal reorganization of U.S. Joint Forces Command's Joint Experimentation Directorate.

As of 1 August 2011, the Joint Warfighting Center (J7), Joint Center for Operational Analysis, and the Joint Concept Development and Experimentation directorate (J9) merged and transitioned from Joint Forces Command to the Joint Staff J7 as part of USJFCOM's disestablishment. The new organization created by this merger will remain in Suffolk, Va., and be known as the deputy director J7 for joint and coalition warfighting, a subordinate element of the Joint Staff J7. "We will continue our mission to provide comprehensive training that meets demands of the joint warfighter who continue to engage our adversaries in an ever-changing operational environment," said Army Maj. Gen. Frederick S. Rudesheim, deputy director for joint and coalition warfighting. "Key functions and missions will be linked together in a more efficient and effective manner, providing an integrated approach to joint development and joint training."

Disestablishment
US Joint Forces command was in charge of the theater surrounding Washington, DC and New York during the 9/11 attacks. During a cost cutting session, General Mattis, then in command of JFCOM suggested to disband because in his interviews with his own staff it was clear to him that most did not see added value. On 9 August 2010 Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced that Joint Forces Command has been slated for elimination as a budget-saving measure. General Ray Odierno was given the task of winding down JFCOM. On 6 January 2011, the plan was officially approved in a memorandum by President Obama. On 4 August 2011, Joint Forces Command cased its flag colors and officially disestablished on 31 August 2011.

Special Operations Command Joint Forces Command (SOCJFCOM) was transferred to U.S. Special Operations Command after the disestablishment of JFCOM, but was then disestablished in 2013.

Former commanders
Until 24 October 2002, all combatant commanders held the title of "Commander-in-Chief", including the commander in chief of Joint Forces Command (USCINCJFCOM). However, an order dispatched by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld renamed all CINCs in the United States military as "Commanders" with the use of "CINC" as an acronym for anyone other than the President being strictly forbidden. Additionally, the dual-hatted title of Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic carried over to JFCOM from U.S. Atlantic Command and remained until October 2003 when it was superseded by the title of Supreme Allied Commander Transformation.

Talk:Satellaview

Earthbound Zero
"Earthbound Zero" (not an official title) was dumped from a prototype NES cartridge and had nothing to do with the Satellaview as far as I know. I'm editing that line unless someone can produce documentation to the contrary.

Radical Dreamers
I'm surprised there's no mention of Radical Dreamers, since it was a semi-sequel to Chrono Trigger available only through the BS-X... I'd add it myself, but frankly I'm not sure where it might go. --Blue Dream 17:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Infobox
This article here needs an infobox here, which the image here would be included in the infobox. --PJ Pete, January 1, 2009, 2:29

Bitrate?
What was the maximum theoretical and average download speeds for the Satellaview? From the diagram in the article, it appears to have no upload ability. - MSTCrow 06:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * BS-2 sent data and audios at 2048bit * 1000frame/s in analog broadcast. When 4channels audios are broadcasted(i.e. WOWOW and St.GIGA)data can be sent　at 480kb/s. But all data broadcastings were sent by packets. A Packet(288bit/pkt) was sent by 9 frames. Sorry, I don't know English sources. Please refer Japanese sources such as referred at 日本における衛星放送--Hadsn (talk) 10:16, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Bitrate of St.GIGA's data broadcasting was about 128kbps. The page for recruit new data provider says "both digital and analog broadcasting carries 128kbits per second(effective value). Bandwidth is 250kbit/s. So we can transmit about 1.3GB(about 2 CDs) per day." --Hadsn (talk) 12:03, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

When?
I think the introduction needs to mention when it was released and when it finished. Does anybody know? 138.243.228.52 12:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The "X".
It was my understanding that the "X" in BS-X stood for "eXpansion" - the same way that the "X" in PSX originally stood for eXpansion (since the PlayStation was originally an expansion for the SNES). I have no source for this though, can anyone confirm? TheUncleBob 12:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

List of games
It looks like the "List of games" is just taken from a list of known ROM dumps. It's rather unorganized, definitely incomplete, and hasn't sorted out the "Games" from the software that isn't actually games. : 3:33 AM August 19, 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.48.71 (talk) 07:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Compatibility
It should be mentioned in this article that only the original model of the SFC is compatible for the Satellaview, and that the Super Famicom Jr. (known in North America as the SNES II), is too small to fit on the Satellaview, even though we know the North American SNES obviously doesn't fit on the Satellaview. --PJ Pete, December 29, 2008 3:36
 * Could you supply a sort of picture to explain how this doesn't work? I can understand the SNES for being too -large-, or an irregular shape, but it wouldn't matter if it's too "small" if it still has the EXT port at the bottom. --
 * Super Famicom Jr. doesn't have EXT port. And commercial paper says "SF Jr. doesn't support Satellaview items." But I think that saved games can be played with SF Jr.--Hadsn (talk) 10:16, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Clarification on "Compatible Memory Packs" section
I was looking at that section and was wondering if something seemed off with it. I then looked at the broadcasts and saw that most of that data was also put in that section. It took a while for me to then realize that the "Compatible Memory Packs" section may have actually referred to the versions of these datas that were sold/distributed pre-packaged, rather than the versions that were put up for download. I've seen "Same Game Koma Data" packed in with "Same Game", and the SD Gundam G-Next data was sold separately. The "Tengai Makyo" data, however, was seemingly given away as a promotional prize, and is more rare. They are identical in terms of data to the versions that were downloaded, but I've heard from some people that they were on a non-rewritable ROM rather than Flash memory. That I can't confirm myself, but I can find pictures of the packs if necessary. I do not know if there are any others like that. Anyway, hopefully this is helpful.--KiddoCabbusses (talk) 14:29, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the new section I just added on data downloads should clarify this issue. I think it works best if the broadcasts page contains all info on program code that was transmitted to players over the satellite airwaves and the "Compatible Memory Packs" section to focus on actual memory paks that were purchasable independently but that were compatible with the Satellaview. Hope that clears things up a bit. Also some pictures would be great. Cheers, -Thibbs (talk) 16:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

BS-X: Soreha Namae wo Nusuma Reta Machi no Monogatari
I just added a section on this application itself. The section needs to be expanded. I'll do it myself unless someone else wants to take a swing at it. I think this will help the article greatly because this is one of the most confusing aspects of the system for those that are unfamiliar with it. I think a proper explanation of how the player would go about downloading games form within the little world of the BS-X Cartridge would be in order. I would also like to expand this section to briefly cover the various Nitnendo/St.GIGA mascots such as the male and female town mascots, the satellite dish, Parabou, and the Satellite, Satebou. On the other hand I think that we shouldn't go overboard with this section. I believe we should attempt to limit it to the most essential aspects and then if someone later wants to make it into a full-blown article then we can add a "Main article:" header at that point.

Apart from that section I think the article is getting to the point where we can bring it to peer review. We obviously need many more references before that point but luckily I have a fair number of references at my disposal and so I will attempt to address this issue as soon as possible. -Thibbs (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 * OK I just finished it. I'd like to get some images of the Mascots and of the Satellaview avatars but apart from that my only next step will be to start sourcing the heck out of it. I have a lot of old magazine scans and such to go through but I will try to be prompt. -Thibbs (talk) 01:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Schedule Question
Forgive me if I'm dumb, but how can the schedule go up to 26:00, when 23:59 is the last minute of the day? - Rev. Syung Myung Me (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No you're not dumb. That's a very good question. All official schedules do show this to be the case, though. I think the most likely answer is that 25:00 would correspond with 1:00AM the next day and 26:00 would correspond with 2:00AM the next day, etc. The events and games scheduled for 24:00-26:00 were often repeats of earlier broadcasts so it seems likely that these time-slots were intended to accommodate adults who would have been up later in the evening. -Thibbs (talk) 17:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Satellaview only supports analog broadcasting

 * All of　data broadcastings related Satellaview were for free. Please watch the commercial films.
 * Satellaview only supports analog broadcasting. The base has bit stream input only. How it can be imputed the datas from BS Digital broadcasting? BS Digital tuners has no bit stream output such as analog tuners one.
 * St.GIGA's radios were scrambled. But スーパーファミコンアワー is not scrambled. If these programs were scrambled, how players can listen to them? Satellaview only supports un-scrambled programs.
 * St.GIGA.jp doesn't say "BS tuner can be rent". It's only a decorder. And that page is not official site. The page says "このサイトは、セント・ギガのファンが趣味で作った個人ページです. ". --Hadsn (talk) 10:16, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Which commercial films are you talking about? You have to provide sources to support what you are claiming. The two fliers are potentially good evidence, but what magazine do they come from? And what part of them supports what you are saying? The first one does say "無料でご利用いただけます" which could be interpreted to back up your claim that the broadcasting was free, but we need some specific sources to cover the claims about analog versus digital signals, and scrambled/decoded versus unscrambled claims. If you don't have any good sources readily available I do have a fair bit of material I can look over, but I am rather busy at present so it will take me a little time. -Thibbs (talk) 07:00, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 *
 * ・A1.Because of CF says nearly equals to the pictures, link of which was omitted.
 * ・A2.When I digged the URL, I could find a sentence which says "ゲームチラシコレクション". So I think the pictures as the　handed out commercial paper at Game shop.
 * ・A3.I think sentence in the paper of "BSチューナを経由した衛星データ放送を受信するデコーダを内臓. さらにPCM音声放送(ノンスクランブル)を受信することができます. " can back up my opinion that スーパーファミコンアワー weren't scrambled. If scrambled Sattelaview could not decode the voices of Sound linked games.
 * ・A4.Do you know Japanese analog BS broad casting emitted analog NTSC video and sub-carrier modulated digital audio and data? This fact is very important for the claim.
 * ・PS.At BS analog broadcasting subscriber needs buy(or rent) tuner and decoder and contract with JSB or St.GIGA. When you are contracting with thees providers, one need tell one's decoder ID. Most of decoders are separated from BS tuner. --Hadsn (talk) 11:11, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi guys. I am not a Satellaview expert and I don't know Japanese at all.  I'm sorry to say that I do not really understand some of Hadsn's English. I don't understand how there can be a premise that Satellaview or St.Giga are analog, or that digital equals scrambled or encrypted.  Digital audio can include PCM or whatever.  But I did a lot of editing and research for this and for St.Giga in the interest of Nintendo history.  I had added a reference to the St.Giga article wherein Billboard magazine stated that St.Giga (preceding and during the context of Satellaview) is the world's first digital radio station.  Does that clear up what you were talking about at all?  Thanks for caring, because it helps to dig up dirt on this general subject for those of us who aren't experts and who didn't experience it. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 08:49, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for digging the article from the magazine. But it doesn't clear up these problems. The article says only "St.GIGA will start game broadcasting." I think we have to reed more article written in Japanese. --Hadsn (talk) 11:11, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No actually that's just the title. The body says "a radical shift in style for St.Giga, billed as the world's first digital radio station when it debuted in November 1990".  So doesn't that explicitly answer the question of whether Satellaview is analog or digital, although in a nontechnical way?  I'm sure that the most information about St.Giga and Satellaview are in Japanese sources. :(  This is the same with 64DD, and I wrote that article myself based on English sources, so please let me know if you find anything there too.  Both Satellaview & St.Giga, and 64DD & Randnet, need original Japanese reviews and descriptions and everything.  Very much! Arigato. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 11:42, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I have to say sorry. Because of I have been interested in broadcasting system, I was looking into Satellaview as apart of looking into that. So I don't have plan to check the 64DD article in great detail. But I will check and correct the article as much as I can. I don't know when I can do that.(・ω<)--Hadsn (talk) 16:45, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm in complete agreement that the article needs more Japanese sources. I have in fact been collecting them for a few years now and translating them in my spare time. There are definitely errors in some of the English-language sources I have read and even the Japanese sources are not immune from incorrect reporting. The video you linked, for example, shows a Satellaview version of Torneko no Daibōken at 6:47, but despite reviewing a lot of material on this topic I have never seen any mention of this game as actually being broadcast via Satellaview. It should also be noted that in general it is preferable to use articles as citations instead of advertisements and fliers. I'll also echo Smuckola's thanks for caring about this topic, Hadsn, and I hope we can all work together to straighten out any problems. Please be patient with the discussion here because there are some communication problems. I also have a little difficulty understanding some of the things you are saying. One thing that puzzles me is that you are talking about the decoder from the set-top box but if the data isn't scrambled then what is it decoding? I think the audio portion may not have been scrambled, but the game portion was. Anyway I'll continue to look through my material on the topic but this may take some time. It would be good for us all to work together here in talk. -Thibbs (talk) 13:28, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * All St.GIGA's own normal radio programs were encrypted, but only section of game data and during sound link game (game data and sounds) is broadcasted, St.GIGA let all of Satellaview users also who doesn't contract with them receive games and sounds.--Hadsn (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * OK I found a good source. Famitsu Issue #333 has a Q&A with Parabou and Satabou that covers the exact topic. I'll get to work translating it. I'll ping you both when I'm done. Hopefully it shouldn't take too long. It's only 14 sentences long. -Thibbs (talk) 00:03, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm going slowly with the translation. I'm very busy these days off-Wiki and I haven't had a moment to sit down to work on it. I'm about half way finished, but I'll just paste it here so others can get a look at it too. Sorry again. Here's the text: "サテ坊パラ坊Q&A ざつと説明したど、まだ何が何だかわかんな〜い、という人はここを読んでみよう. サテ坊、パラ坊が疑問にずばり答えちゃうぞ. WOWOWに加入しないとスーパーファミコン放送を聴いたり遊んだりできないのかなあ? それは間違いだよ. スーパーファミコンアワーの時間帯はノンスクランブル放送なのでBSチューナーがあれば、デコーダーがなくても誰でも受信できるのだ. データ放送もセント・ギガのラジオ放送とはべつの電波で24時間流れているノンスクランブル放送なんだよ. BSチューナー内蔵のビデオにデータ放送が受信できないものがあるって聞いたんだけど…… 一部の機器には、そのままだと受信できないものがある. でも設定を変えれば大丈夫なものもあるんだ. 専用の注文はがきにBS機器の型番を書いておけば、任天堂が対応のしかたを教えてくれるぞ. スーパーファミコンアワーのデータ放送とラジオ放送の違いは? データ放送はゲームなどがスーパーファミコンを使ってテレビ画面上で楽しめるもの. ラジオ番組のほうはデータ放送にリンクしたセント・ギガの3時間番組なのだ. このふたつをまとめてスーパーファミコンアワーと呼んでいるんだよ.". I can provide the full citation if this is helpful. -Thibbs (talk) 06:31, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Are we talking about decoding (or decryption), or about demodulation? Thibbs, what did you think about Billboard's statement about the service being digital?  Is that what we're talking about?  I guess that doesn't necessarily mean it's all 100% digital, I dunno.  Maybe there are analog channels.  I took it to mean that the whole broadcast system is digital.  Ideally, we'd use a separate discussion forum site for this (WP:NOTFORUM) but I bet that's pretty darn hard to find.  Maybe gbatemp.  I dunno; good luck. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 14:53, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not 100% sure about whether the Billboard article is discussing audio-only or game-code streaming too. I know there was a researcher online who was looking into this stuff (maybe under the name LuigiBlood?), but I'm not sure what his conclusions were. Anyway here's another reliable source which touches on this too:
 * "'The establishment of Satellite Giga has greatly influenced the introduction of DAB to Japan. Rather than replacing the present analog system, DAB will most likely remain a subscription-based, supplemental service. Thus, Japan will maintain a two-tiered system including free terrestrial analog transmissions complemented by satellite DAB transmissions for subscribers.' —Valenti, Gregory. 'Digital Audio Broadcasting: An International Perspective On Compact-Disc Quality Radio.' American University Journal of International Law and Policy. Fall 1992. (8 Am. U. J. Int'l L. & Pol'y 273)"
 * This passage also has two footnotes associated with it that I could provide. I hope that helps. -Thibbs (talk) 15:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Please read my A4 sentence posted to this Talk on November 21st and this source. So St.GIGA is the first digital radio station, and Japanese Broadcasting law handles CS-PCM broadcasting as analog broad casting.--Hadsn (talk) 17:34, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Japanese isn't my native language. Can you point to a specific place in the 28-page document that you are talking about? -Thibbs (talk) 00:03, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that I didn't consider into how you will read the source. Please read section "(b) アナログ衛星放送" from "(i) アナログ衛星放送の伝送規格" to "(ii) 音声信号の伝送規格" on page 11&12. The section shows us how the analog video, digital audio and data had been transmitted via BS analog broadcasting.--Hadsn (talk) 08:20, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked deeply into these sources yet, but do they actually mention St.GIGA or the Satellaview at all or are you just extrapolating? There's not necessarily a problem, but it is generally a better idea to cite sources that directly speak about the topic. Too much extrapolation runs the risk of violating Wikipedia's policy on Original Research. -Thibbs (talk) 06:31, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * At the risk of overstepping anything, I'll send some pings to some of the more resourceful people I've worked with on Wikiproject Video Games in addition to Thibbs. Maybe you guys have some ideas or resources on the subject of Satellaview's and St.Giga's technical specs. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 08:38, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * OK. I also have quite a few more sources on the topic, but I haven't fully processed everything so it's mostly Japanese. Incidentally, if any of these new ping-receivers can review the Japanese text I pasted in above (in green) that would be helpful. Otherwise I'll get to it when things get a bit less hectic. I'd have done it myself but I felt bad about making everyone wait on me. -Thibbs (talk) 12:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bring such a description. That must be great source for スーパーファミコンアワー were not encrypted. Only for to be known we should remove a description of BSデジタル so and so and why St.GIGA, the first DAB radio station, can broadcast on BS analog with digital sounds, I brought such a PDF forward. Now I think I shouldn't bring such a too complicated source. Three HTML files, is linked to upgrade St.GIGA article on Wikipedia, can say a part of so. Such a technical fact should be written in Direct-broadcast satellite in Japan(Although only the point is written in the Japanese サテラビュー article). But it is the source for St.GIGA telling a little lie in sound quality.--Hadsn (talk) 16:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

New source

 * http://motherboard.vice.com/read/satellaview-nintendos-forgotten-console I don't know if anything new is in here, but it's a pretty long article, so I thought it could be of interest. Sergecross73   msg me  14:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That could definitely be used throughout the page, I'll look into this. Namcokid47 (talk) 00:36, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

 * More information about the Satellaview has appeared in Amusement Press' Game Machine magazine just a few hours ago: https://onitama.tv/gamemachine/archive.html Roberth Martinez (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Subscription fees
The article currently mentions "monthly subscription fees to both St.GIGA and Nintendo". But the Japanese article clearly states that the only requirements were the following equipment: the Satellaview and the BS-Tuner (connected to the dish) and adds that there was no subscription fees (the Super Famicom Hour was a dedicated segment with an unscrambled signal) and no BS-decoder (normally used to decode the rest of the St.GIGA radio/TV programs and which is different from the BS-Tuner). As for the subscription fees to Nintendo, I can't find any reliable source about that. Ann Mercer (talk) 14:38, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

"Gibson also has a mild form of Parkinson's Disease, which may be noted during his broadcasts as subtle shuffles of his body and in most cases his head will shift side to side"

Please source this statement.Burghboy80 10:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

A

good "He is the most favorable choice because of his experience." -- most favorable choice for what? 69.136.90.164 02:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

That phrasing is also awkward, perhaps "he is the favored choice"? -Fsotrain09 19:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know if there is something wrong with Charles Gibson? Last night after the President's speech Gibson didn't seem like himself but I have not heard anything to the contrary. He's an outstanding reporter and a class act.

Is That a Hair Weave or a Toupee?
It is difficult to tell what that is on Gibson's head, but it doesn't appear to be real hair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.153.18 (talk) 00:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

ultimatum?
"Gibson answered... with an ultimatum: Gibson would be given the sole anchor position through the 2008 elections or he would quit the network."

What is the source of this information? Such a serious accusation attacks the integrity of Gibson and ABC News. Thus, the ultimatum statement must be cited to conform to NPOV. If no citation is added in the next couple of days, I am going to remove the statement from the article. Since I get most of my news from PBS/NPR, I don't have any personal motivations in this matter. I just think that a citation is needed for such a serious statement. Gobbles414 18:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

substantation ?
"Gibson hosted what may be the last democratic primary debate on April 16th, 2008. It was an unmitigated disaster with questions that did not touch on actual issues, but instead catered to tabloid journalism. Millions of Americans have since written to ABC News asking for an apology from Mr. Gibson. "

There is currently a paragraph detailing a few items from his interview of '08 Republican VP nominee, Sarah Palin. While I did not see the interview and cannot comment on its content, the paragraph in question needs some work as it is clearly not NPOV, a bit ironic since it accuses Gibson of bias. It has several citations, but a couple of them are clearly conservative websites. Not that they can't be sources for things, but they are not helping the article and likely it does not need a paragraph detailing the interview at all beyond the fact that he did it. Yes/no?

However, the conservative web sites were used as source for the full transcript of the interview, showing how the interview was edited. The article did not accuse Gibson of bias, it stated facts that other sources accused Gibson of bias. This event was significant in the 2008 Election and shows a trend of Gibson toward biased reporting.

 * He was accused of bias during his the Hillary-Obama debate too. Docku Hi 12:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

As Brent Bozell points out (in Charles Gibson's Palin Double Standard), "Does anyone believe that if Barack Obama had picked Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as a running mate, Gibson would have tried to embarrass her about which Bush Doctrine she thought was the Bush Doctrine? It would have been a trip through Candy Land by comparison." Bozell adds: "In March, when it came to questions about Obama's venomous Rev. Wright, the one who thought America deserved 9/11 and that the U.S. government invented the AIDS virus to kill blacks, Gibson could only offer Obama his most supine congratulations on his 'extraordinary speech on race.'" It's about double standards, folks. Double standards… Asteriks (talk) 15:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't think accusations of anti-Palin bias should be given undo weight. In public opinion polls, Palin is regarded negatively by most people. Yet some people on the Right treat her with a messianic devotion. I think it gives an inaccurate look back at the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign to portray the minority theory of some conservative supporters that Palin was railroaded by the media as some majority, neutral notion. --JamesAM (talk) 19:34, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

 * James, you are totally missing the boat. Whether or not the public thinks negatively about Palin is completely beside the point. If Gibson was accused of bias, it should be noted in his writeup. No one is saying definitively iif it was bias, that would be opinion. But the facts are he was accused of having bias. JettaMann (talk) 15:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

--- Bias isn't necessarily the issue here, but there most certainly is some controversy with respect to the interview that absolutely should he documented here. The issue is this: Gibson attempted to embarrass Palin for not knowing the 'Bush Doctrine', when in fact Gibson was not defining it correctly himself. As a 'journalist', he should have researched the 'Bush Doctrine' further, at least enough to understand that the definition is ambiguous and has evolved. He did not and therefore failed in one of his most important duties as a journalist. Of course, the other possibility is he knew that, and intended all along to embarrass Palin should she not know which definition he was referring to; or should she pick one of the many he could simply chose another. This would clearly be a matter of bias. Either way, its a controversy that should be highlighted here. This is all rather well laid out in a column by Charles Krauthammer who first termed and is the leading source of the Bush doctrine. This interview was probably the most important television moments for Gibson in his entire career, so it is rather odd that it is not documented here.

Since there is no reference documenting Gibson's commentary on the Palin interview, I have deleted it until it can be properly referenced.

Please stop inserting unsubstantiated and unreferenced comments in this article.

Thank you!

The Sarah Palin interview is very noteworthy, and should be included. Thank you for stopping inserting unsubstantiated and unreferenced comments, but documented events such as this that are important should be included. I have included it again.

 * Not without appropriate sources indicating encyclopedic significance. Two sources which don't mention bias are hardly sufficient to support a claim of widespread accusations of bias. Read WP:BLP, which the deleted text clearly violated, both for lack of sourcing and onesidedness. RPP filed. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:11, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

The paragraph continues to be removed, so I will add it again. Please stop deleting important documented information. Thanks.

I have noted your objection to the words 'bias' and 'many' and have deleted them. I hope that concludes this matter.
 * Of course it doesn't. The presentation of only criticism violates BLP, and raises NPOV issues, and partisan, heat-of-the-moment criticism hardly demonstrates encyclopedic significance. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 02:20, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the automatic message warning of a possible 'editing war'. It was getting close to that, but I think we have settled on good wording.

Ok, so what would you suggest? Why don't you try to write up something that you feel does not violate the BLP and VPOV issues. It is far too important to omit - and you just deleted the entire paragraph.

So, what would you suggest?? I look forward to your response and finishing up this issue.

I am patiently waiting for your response. I know Wikepedia rules encourage us to discuss things before making any changes. I am continue to wait for you to participate in a discussion. Otherwise, I will go back and edit the article in a non-bias way.

Attention Hullaballoo Wolfowitz - Since you have not responded to my requests, I will edit the article again.

Tussle with Gore Vidal
Gore Vidal claims that Gibson pulled the audio feed from his interview and claimed it was audio problems: http://www.lewrockwell.com/spl/vidal-mcveigh.html "I mentioned the unmentionable word "why," followed by the atomic trigger word "Waco." Charles Gibson, 3,500 miles away, began to hyperventilate. "Now, wait a minute…" he interrupted. But I talked through him. Suddenly I heard him say, "We’re having trouble with the audio." Then he pulled the plug that linked ABC and me. The soundman beside me shook his head. "Audio was working perfectly. He just cut you off." "

Is this a typo?
Block quoteGibson donated $85 to Shenandoah University in Winchester at the request of his high school girlfriend, Dolores Pearse.[17] She wanted him to establish the Pearse Gibson II Music Scholarship Fund in memory of his brother, who died in early 2006 Is this a typo? Should it be $85,000 dollars? $850,000? I'm all for donating any amount no matter how small, but $85 dollars doesn't seem quite correct, or all that noteworthy fora Wiki entry for that matter.

Relation to Charles Dana Gibson?
I believe that Charles Gibson is a descendant of some sort of Charles Dana Gibson, the early 20th century illustrator. Although I seem to recall Gibson mentioning the relationship from time to time during his Good Morning America stint, I can't find an authoritative citation to that effect on line. Stlli, I figured I'd mention it here in case any other editor can find appropriate reference and deems it worth note in the article itself --TommyRaiko (talk) 19:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Is Charles Gibson narrating this? The Youtoons Get Ready for Obamacare
