Broadcast wars : the money, the ego, the power behind your remote control / written by Michael Bodey Sydney: Hachette Australia, 2011.

AUSTRALIA ; RATING FOR TV. AUSTRALIA ; RATINGS. AUSTRALIA ; TELEVISION ; TELEVISION. AUSTRALIA Summary: "This is an explosive look at the recent tumultuous years in the boardrooms and on the studio floors of Australian television. As the Nine and Seven networks traded blows, new technologies emerged and old personalities and management clung on for dear life, everyone fastened their seatbelts for a bumpy ride. From booze buses to ambulance chasing, mirrorballs to hotplates, from Sunrise to Today, Broadcast Wars gives us a fascinating insight into major media events, boardroom stoushes and fading stars' diva-like demands. Michael Bodey fearlessly analyses the personalities we love (and love to hate), the genres that came and went, and the machinations behind MasterChef, Dancing With The Stars, Underbelly, Packed To The Rafters and all the shows we love to watch and talk about. Broadcast Wars exposes the egos, the money and the powre manipulating our remote controls.

USA Summary: "Knowing, measuring and understanding media audiences has become a multi-billion dollar business. But the convention that underpins that business, audience ratings, is in crisis. Rating the Audience is the first book to show why and how audience ratings research became a convention, an agreement, and the first to interrogate the ways that agreement is now under threat. Taking a historical approach, the book looks at the evolution of audience ratings and the survey industry. It goes on to analyse today's media environment, looking at the role of the internet and the the increased difficulties it presents for measuring audiences. The book covers all the major players and controversies, such as Facebook's privacy rulings and Google's alliance with Nielson. Offering the first real comparative study, Rating the Audience is critical reading for media students and professionals." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781849663410Donation: Donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: -- list of figures -- list of tables -- preface -- acknowledgments -- 1.Why the Ratings Are Important -- Introduction -- The Single Number -- Summary -- 2.The Convention -- `The Crossleys' - Archibald Crossley -- Arthur C.
