Auletta chronicles the revolution in American business and popular culture that was the story of network television in the 1980s: the big three networks lost a third of their audience and more than half of their annual profits, while takeovers and coups turned NBC and ABC into assets of two megacorporations, and CBS into the fiefdom of one man, Larry Tisch. Auletta was granted unprecedented access to the networks, and takes the reader behind the scenes to the news bureaus, programming and budgeting meetings, and Hollywood production facilities to reveal a compelling inside view of the world of commercial television.
