About this title

Reviews

A worthy text on broadcast management. The authors focus on three groupscreators, programmer/sellers, and producer/sellersand explain the intricacies of these groups interactions with each other and the networks: Creators sell themselves as talent; producers sell their projects to network programmers; networks sell audiences to advertisers; and then networks resell programs to syndicates. The authors provide detailed examples, including sample scripts and production schedules, and up-to-date annotations. Students can easily make use of the material here; nonstudents may learn some insider relationships. For college libraries. Abraham Z. Bass, Journalism Dept., Northern Illinois Univ., DeKalb
