Description: Baughman's account of the brief but contentious debate shows how the inner workings and outward actions of the major television broadcasting networks, advertisers, producers, writers, and entertainers ultimately made TV the primary forum for entertainment and information. The tale of television's founding years reveals a series of decisions that favored commercial success over cultural aspiration.
