communication. Special emphasis is given to the emergence and the
effect of thematic channels, particularly on news, sports, music
and children's programming.
European Television in the Digital Age is an invaluable textbook for students on courses in media and communication, European studies and national policy studies. It will also be a useful source for researchers and professionals in the field.
