I sparked a discussion on the copy desk at the last newspaper I worked for when I red-flagged "filmed" and was overheard trying to get in touch with the reporter to find out which medium was actually used. My boss told me "filmed" was fine, in his eyes, for any of the modern media that have generally supplanted film, and that the matter wasn't worth pursuing. "Videoed" has never caught on, so -- like the gender-neutral personal pronoun -- this seems destined to remain a problem that out language is unable to fully solve.

Flak over Wallen appearance at Opry
- Thread starter CTListener
- Start date
The Academy of Country Music Awards nominations were announced yesterday, and Wallen received three, including Male Vocalist and Album of the Year. He was banned from the 2021 awards. I hear the current discussion revolves around whether or not he will perform:

Wallen was not nominated in the video of the year category.
2022 ACM Awards Nominations: All-Star Collabs, Morgan Wallen, and That ‘Applebee’s Song’
Chris Young is the top nominee for his collab with Kane Brown, while Wallen picks up multiple nominations after being banned from the ACMs in 2021
Wallen was not nominated in the video of the year category.
I think we are getting to just referring to “video” and “audio” with less terminology
My wife and I started thinking of antiquated terms. “Ice box” continued to be used for decades after the “ice man” ceased delivering blocks. It is fun to think about antiquated terms still in use… sort of like playing Jeopardy.
We still hear people talk about "dialing" a phone number. Are there even any phone systems left that could handle calls to and from a rotary phone if one were to be plugged into a jack?
Bringing this thread somewhat on topic again: Old-timers will still refer to country music, even the kind that dominates radio now, as "country and western."
I'm an old(older) white guy who happens to like Wallen's music. I realize he got sideways over a slur he said he used with his buddies and not specifically against anyone racially. I heard he apologized and made amends. Is he banned because someone really doesn't like him, or doesn't like his success? Plenty of others have made similar comments, apologized and come back. What's the story?
Yes, many VOIP systems still support rotary dialing, fax machines, and computer modems -- pretty much anything you can do with an analog phone line. The only things notably lacking are sidetone -- hearing your own voice in the receiver as you talk -- and "comfort noise" -- the small amount of background noise that telephone companies injected into the line so that you wouldn't think it is dead.
That doesn't necessarily make it any less offensive.
If you had read the rest of the thread you would've learned that he only got a temporary slap on the wrist until the controversy died down, and his career has fully recovered.

For the last two weeks, Wallen's Sand in My Boots has been Number 2 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart. This would be impossible if all the big country music stations were continuing to ban him. More than likely the radio companies have determined that they stand to make more money by playing Wallen than by censoring him.
When I worked at JTV, the daily internal program guide would refer to a "taped" show if we were running an encore.
Escape (The Pina Colada Song) is still part of pop culture, even while referring to newspaper personal ads, which have been supplanted by online and on-app dating
That was noted in the OP of this thread. The radio ban was apparently lifted last fall.
No invitation for Wallen to perform on the upcoming Academy of Country Music awards. Article doesn't say if he'll be allowed into the building to sit in the audience, or if so, if he'll be permitted to accept on stage any award he might win. Of course, the viewership for this year's show will be limited to those who have Prime accounts with Amazon -- and, I suppose, those who use foreign-based streaming services or who "borrow" login information from friends.

ACMs 2022: Maren Morris, Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Chris Stapleton and More to Perform
This year's ACM Awards will stream live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas exclusively on Prime Video
That article is the preliminary list of performers. They will release additional performers every week. I've heard that they're still considering having him perform.
Another industry olive branch to Wallen -- Jimmie Allen performs with him.

Jimmie Allen Duets with Morgan Wallen During Nashville Dangerous: The Tour Stop
Jimmie Allen joined Morgan Wallen on night one of Wallen's three-night run at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena for "The Way I Talk"
Anyone who wants to know how popular this kid is: He sold out three nights at a 20,000 seat arena. While one can say that's only 60,000 people, and some went two or three nights, it's rare that ANY artist sells out an arena for 3 nights. Especially one who's under 30 and has only 7 hit songs and is on his second album.
How long before some Nashville label signs this guy and he winds up opening for Morgan on a future tour?
