Synopsis:
Made Possible By... is an engrossing history of public broadcasting, from its initial idealist attempt to reshape the vast wasteland of television, to its current lamentable state-safe, consistently mediocre, and as dependent on corporate financing as its commercial counterparts.
Review: "A sharp, persuasive analysis of public broadcasting's decline and fall."--David Futrelle, "Newsday""Crammed with newsy incidents and amazing quotes ... a valuable source book for years to come."--Richard Buell, "Boston Globe""Ledbetter's refusal to hide behind Big Bird is refreshing; his recommendations are cogent."--Martha Bayles, "New York Times""Ledbetter's view is balanced, his eye is cold and sharp, and his research is exhaustive."--Stephen Stark, "Washington Post"
