Same Time, Same Station : Creating American Television, 1948–1961, Hardcover by Baughman, James L., ISBN 0801879337, ISBN-13 9780801879333, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Baughman (journalism and mass communication, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) examines early television broadcasting and the evolution and founding of the rules for programming that would later shape the medium. He explores the debate between two factions: NBC executives, writers, entertainers, and advertising agents who thought that TV was a cultural opportunity that should draw from theater and the performing arts, and those who thought it should be imitative of radio and film. He covers the period from 1948 to 1961, what many describe as the "golden age" of television, but which he finds to be false. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
