A European Television History

"The approaches of this book...should become part of the preparation of anyone teaching about television." (Communication Research Trends, 2009)

"A European Television History brings together television historians and media scholars to chart the development of television in Europe since its inception. The volume interrogates the history of the medium in divergent political, economic, cultural and ideological national contexts." (Viewfinder, March 2009)

"With this collection, Bignell and Fickers bring together an outstanding team of scholars to draw together the best of existing and new scholarship in the field. This collection should inform all future studies of television, media history and, given the centrality of media to the formation of contemporary Europe, the study of European history as a whole."
