The Evolution of American Television
This new edition of Barnouw's classic Tube of Plenty explores the development and impact of the latest phases of the communications revolution. Since the publication of this invaluable history of television and how it has shaped, and been shaped by, American culture and society, many significant changes have occurred. Assessing the importance of these developments in a new chapter, Barnouw covers the decline of the three major networks, the expansion of cable and satellite television and film channels such as HBO, the success of channels catering to special audiences such as ESPN and MTV, and the arrival of VCRs in America's living rooms.
