Overview

TV FAQ will make you a fully informed and knowledgeable, entertained and argumentative TV expert. Viewers and students of TV have a healthy curiosity about the medium and ask all sorts of general questions about it, but you have to look hard to find the answers. TV FAQ answers just about everything youve always wanted to know about television, in witty and highly informative form and is written by a leading TV writer, thinker and long-term producer. Does TV distort what it shows? Why does old TV look so weird? What is a schedule? Will downloading replace broadcasting? What is the point of Jade Goody? Starting with commonly asked questions - factual, technical, ethical, ontentbased, controversial, plain cheeky - TV FAQ crisply answers them and outlines comprehensive and often novel arguments replying to the issues raised and the concerns that motivate them. Each entry contains examples, ranging from a detailed deconstruction of an episode of NYPD Blue, to the way that audience statistics are produced, and how television gains (and sometimes forfeits) our trust. Answers can be read down, across - with links between entries - or dipped into as required._x000D__x000D__x000D_
