Sequel to "History of U.S. Television--A Personal Reminscence"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As the title of this review notes, this book is a sequel to History of U.S. Television--A Personal Reminscence", also by Lawrence Rogers. If you haven't read that book, read it before you read this one. The first book is the better of the two, and also gives a context and background on the author's experience and history in the US television business. That said, this book is also worth reading -- especially for the insight that the reader gets into the characters of Ted Turner and Pat Robertson, who were fighting the author in bankruptcy court for the right to purchase the same bankrupt Orlando TV station. That battle fills the majority of this book -- the first couple of chapters outline how the author got involved in pursuing this station, and final chapters provide a quick "what happened afterwards" overview of events once the fight was over. What I noted in my review of the first book is also true for this one: if you're someone who is interested in the business side of television, you'll enjoy the "behind the scenes" look at the legal battle for control of what is today a hugely successful Fox station.
