This Business of Television,   ISBN:9780823077632

Customer Rating: 

This is a very interesting title. Easy to read and to comprehend some business aspects.

Some parts of the book were not updated properly, e.g., the overview of Television in South America.

I work in TV. I own a copy of this book and bought another for a new employee so she could come up to speed on the industry. Highly recommended.

Customer Rating: 

When I was in film school there was a lot of film history and film theory, and no one talked about television often enough for us to learn anything worth while about it. I now work as a television director, and it was this book that taught me the "business" aspects of the industry. Without this book I would probably be out of work or directing the local news someplace like Lima, Ohio.

Customer Rating: 

This book (textbook) is an excellent resource for just about everything in TV. The disk included is a great utility to have for printing out your own contracts. I only with this book could be updated, say, every two years.

Customer Rating: 

This book is so hot that it's been stolen from my office library 3 times. I'm on my 4th purchase of this book. I felt like I could have an intellegent conversation about any aspect of the television business after using this book. It is my main resource for getting quick answers that are easy to understand. This is required reading for those getting started and a great resource for those that have been in the industry a while. It also includes a computer disk containing forms such as U.S. Copyright registration and others found in the book that you can import to your word processor.
