Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sylvester "Pat" Weaver is most closely associated with the creation and popularization of television specials, such as award shows and holiday-themed programs. He is also known for his work as a network executive at NBC, where he pioneered many programming and advertising techniques still used today.

Possible additional answer: D
 Weaver was involved in the creation of the first superstation, WTBS (now TBS), which expanded the reach of cable television by transmitting its programs via satellite to other cable systems across the country. However, this association is less well-known and not as closely tied to Weaver's legacy as his work with television specials.

A and C are incorrect choices. While Weaver had an influential career in television and worked on many different types of programs, he is not strongly associated with hybrid dramas or quiz show scandals.
