What Price Creativity? (Current Debates in Broadcasting S.) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a collection of papers given at the 1997 International Broadcasting Symposium, held at the University of Manchester in April 1997. The book looks at the convergence of industries, such as media, computers and telecommunications, and sees how this "coming together" is likely to have an impact on what people watch. At present, there are five terrestrial analogue, 30 satellite analogue and about ten original channels on cable. Soon there could be 25 terrestrial digital channels, 500 on satellite digital and an unlimited number on cable and/or telecoms or even the National Grid. Is this increase in choice in television a progressive or a regressive step? Is there too much choice? Does the quality of programmes suffer? How will it be financed?
