Television in America examines the history of the industry from a local station perspective. Some interesting ramifications are: What would have happened to the ABC network without the support of its key station, WABC? What effect did KSL television have on the Mormon Church communication empire? Can stations in Atlanta and Orlando be credited with promoting a civil-rights agenda before it was politically correct?
Would the Kefauver hearings have taken on as much national significance had it not been for the local coverage of WMAL-TV? Without the efforts of WEW's Dorothy Fieldheim and Nancy Craig at WABC, would women have been welcomed in the nation's newsrooms? The histories of the 20 television stations in this unique collection help answer these questions and set the stage for further inquiry.
