Description
Starting where the author's The history of television, 1880 to 1941 (McFarland, 1987) left off, this sequel begins with a chapter on TV's role in World War II. A retired CBS network engineer chronicles TV developments including US wartime use of this new medium; technical advances; the rise of electronic journalism; industry competition; and introduction of the VCR, camcorder, high- definition TV, e-cinema, and a universal format for electronic media. Among his predictions for TV's future is the demise of video rental stores with the rise of pay-for-view HDTV. Includes rare illustrations and substantial reference notes. Abramson has written about the medium since his Electronic motion pictures: a history of the television camera (U. of California Press, 1955). Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
