Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-14 00:00:00 Kelly Conrad If you think that television starts in 1948, or even at the 1939 World's Fair in New York, think again. Television broadcasts--attempts at television as we know it--were underway even before network radio was fully launched. This book is fascinating. I've been studying television, formally and informally, for 45 years. I didn't know half of the things in this book, which is unusual for me when it comes to a book on television. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know the back story of how television came into being. |

While I took issue with the layout (omitting the photo pages from the book's flow was an odd choice) and the editing (which let slip more and more errors as the text progressed), it's definitely worth reading. Tons of funny little stories come to light throughout. |
