AUSTRALIA; BLAIN, ELLIS Summary: "The Australian Broadcasting Commission has for decades been accepted as a vital part of our cultural life. But recent troubled times - of renewed government pressures - have inspired close examination of the whole fabric of our broadcasting system by friend and foe alike. Ellis Blain has worked intimately with the ABC for forty years, and is uniquely placed to analyse its structure, policies, and philosophy. His insight into the many aspects of its commitment casts illumination on its direction during the reigns of Chairmen Cleary, Boyer, Darling, Madgwick, Downing and Bland and General Managers Moses and Duckmanton. Finance, the commissioners, staff relations, evaluation by ratings and the future course for the ABC within the total broadcasting context are matters of important concern that are fully discussed.

AUSTRALIA; HISTORY OF TV; HISTORY OF TV. AUSTRALIA; TELEVISION; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA Summary: " 'I hope this thing will not come to Australia in my term of office', said Prime Minister Menzies in 1952. But it did. In 1956 Australia opened its first channel and began the long road that changed our way of life. Nickl Herd has written the first comprehensive history of the powerful, popular industry that is our commercial television: a brilliantly researched, independent account of the way the networks spread across the nation and of the revolution that accompanied them - the deals, the ratings, the advertisers, the protests, the tribunals, the regulation, the programs that won and lost fortunes. In Nick Herd's hands our television emerges as a social force, one which has brought us together in the lounge room, carried us out into the streets, told our stories, transformed our sports culture and captured our history, our politics and the world around us."-- BOOK BLURB Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 329-362) and index ISBN: 9780980798265 Contents: -- the long road to television -- subscribers -- acknowledgments -- abbreviations --1: the coming of television -- 2: the government decides -- 3: the expansion of television services 1956-65 -- 4: the audience-commodity and program-supply markets -- 5: Reform of commercial television -- 6: structural change in the broadcast-station market -- 7: changing dynamics of program supply and audience 1974-1998 -- 8: convergence and incumbency -- 9: commerical television and the multimedia world -- appendices -- endnotes -- bibliography -- index -- More info

(chiefly col.) ; 28 cm Subject: HISTORY OF TV; HISTORY OF TV. US; BROADCASTING. US; ADVERTISING. TV; ADVERTISING. USA Summary: "As mass-manufacturing made television sets affordable after World War II, the TV was on its way to being the ubiquitous home appliance it is today. But when TV sets were still a luxurious novelty, their manufacturers introduced the public to the new medium by emphasizing its most glamorous, comforting, and futuristic aspects. Window to the Future collects more than 150 print advertisements, magazine covers, and brochure and catalog images to bring the golden age of television advertising and marketing to light. In amusingly prescient displays of the TV serving as furniture, posh appliance, part centerpiece, news and entertainment purveyor, and even beloved member of the family, these hyperbolic images and appeals reflect the many ways that the hungry populace would ultimately find to desire the devices. Dapper couples hosting cocktail hour in front of their new b&w console, spellbound children and their leisure-enabled parents, and plentiful celebrity sponsors all lent their charm to sell sets. Idealized visions of futuristic houses always found a way to feature the television at their centers, and entertainment, food, and alcohol found the sales medium of their dreams in the 1950s to the 1970s. But what television really ended up selling best was the lifestyle it afforded; an idealized picture of a world that could not live without it. Window to the future is a nostalgic look at the wonder years of television's youthful innocence.
