内容説明
The first in a new series, this book provides a short history of communications satellites in Western Europe, information about the funding and development of satellite channels and the audiences they are reaching. The monograph also includes a description of the complex of currently operative satellites and the channels they are carrying together with a prognosis of the future of satellite television in Western Europe in its third generational phase. How far will satellite television destroy national cultures, threaten public broadcasting and retail a diet of junk television, rich in violence and pornography indiscriminately to eager and aghast viewers? This study concludes that these threats, or promises, are unlikely to be realized by satellite television in Western Europe. The conclusion to this wide-ranging survey of satellite television in the late 1980s is supported by an account of the history of satellite television from Arthur C.Clarke's first notions, through Telstar and Early Bird to the current powerful, but technically fragile, Direct Broadcast Satellites.
The contradictory and complementary relationships between satellite, cable and terrestrial television are considered and the technical and financial problems of satellite television discussed. How has satellite television been considered by viewers? The contradictory experience of West European viewers is examined and current satellites and satellite television channels are described. For satellite television to succeed in competition with terrestrial television it must provide more attractive programming to viewers than does its terrestrial competitor. Whether or not satellite television succeeds will vary from television marketplace to marketplace, but the prognosis for satellite television in the UK is not encouraging according to this book.
