- Double-weighted statement
- This 135,000-word book presents a complex three-country comparison of the reception of popular television shows, c.1967-1979. It is based on large amounts of original primary sources in dozens of archives (state archives, broadcaster archives, personal papers, film archives etc.) and interviews in the UK, US and Germany, all conducted over almost a decade. The argument the book advances is only possible because of the systematic comparison of three cases - private, state-ethos and dual broadcasting systems. The book also breaks new ground in its exploration of television reception and its impact on mass audiences.
