Television Goes Back to the Future : Rethinking Tv’s Streaming Revolution, Hardcover by Smith, Anthony N.; Minor, Laura, ISBN 3032016088, ISBN-13 9783032016089, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book examines the extent to which the practices of television’s past are shaping its online future. Challenging industry and scholarly claims of disruption, it demonstrates how streaming giants like Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video, alongside public service broadcasters like the BBC and Channel 4, maintain deep continuities with television history, adapting established industry practices online rather than abandoning them. The authors look at how media institutions have applied conventional broadcast television practices around live transmissions, linear scheduling, commercial interruption, and episode release cadences to streaming platforms; how narrative and genre norms continue to underpin American television drama and British TV sitcoms in online contexts; and how globalised streaming services cultivate country specific programming and retain close ties to traditional practices of national broadcasting systems in South Korea.
