Three Blind Mice: How the TV Networks Lost Their Way
Auletta, Ken New York, New York, U.S.A. Vintage Books 1992 0679741356 / 9780679741350 Soft cover Very Good Book 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Anita Kunz (Cover Illustration)

(What happened to network television in the 1980's? How did CBS, NBC and ABC lose a third of their audience and more than half of their annual profits? Ken Auletta tells the gripping story of the decline of the networks in this epically scaled work of journalism. He chronicles the takeovers and executive coups that turned ABC and NBC into assets of two mega-corporations and CBS into the fiefdom of one man, Larry Tisch, who always looked at, and for the bottom line. You're taken inside the CBS newsroom on the night that Dan Rather went off-camera for six silent minutes, and into the screening rooms where NBC programming watched two bright prospects thud disastrously, and then into the boardrooms where the three networks were at one time trying to decide whether television was a public trust or a cash cow. Rich in anecdote and inside word from off the streets, this chronicled a change in American business and popular culture.)
