| Summary |
"In its most recent debates, the University of Manchester Broadcasting Symposium looks at the increasing fragmentation of television broadcasting, and at the effects of the convergence of television, computer and communications technologies. To what extent will the structures and cultural forms of broadcasting as we currently know them survive into the next millennium? Will there still be room for regional broadcasting, for independent producers, for schedules? Can - or should - a five hundred channel environment be subject to regulation? Or is the future mainly composed of video-on-demand and home shopping delivered on the Internet rather than over the airwaves? In two sessions of the Symposium, contributors from television's present and future contribute their reasoned assessments of the future shape of the medium; in a wide-ranging group of papers, programming, legal, technical, cultural and regulatory issues are examined thoroughly, and ways forward through the future are charted."--BOOK JACKET |
