Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment’s Global Reach: Latino Fans and Wrestlers --About the Contributors --IndexCable television, on the brink of a boom in the 1970s, promised audiences a new media frontier-an expansive new variety of entertainment and information choices. Music video, 24–hour news, 24-hour weather, movie channels, children's channels, home shopping, and channels targeting groups based on demographic characteristics or interests were introduced. Cable Visions looks beyond broadcasting’s mainstream, toward cable's alternatives, to critically consider the capacity of commercial media to serve the public interest. It offers an overview of the industry's history and regulatory trends, case studies of key cable newcomers aimed at niche markets (including Nickelodeon, BET, and HBO Latino), and analyses of programming forms introduced by cable TV (such as nature, cooking, sports, and history channels).Cable televisionUnited StatesCable.Visions.alternatives.beyond.broadcastings.cables.capacity.commercial.consider.critically.interest.looks.mainstream.media.public.serve.toward.Cable television384.5550973Banet-Weiser Sarahedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtChris Cynthiaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFreitas Anthonyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910790156803321Cable Visions3809257UNINA03353nam 2200589 450 991080966190332120230721012036.00-7391-3036-61-299-79565-X(CKB)2550000001259818(EBL)1352207(OCoLC)876507219(SSID)ssj0001174042(PQKBManifestationID)12509890(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001174042(PQKBWorkID)11107148(PQKB)10763480(MiAaPQ)EBC1352207(Au-PeEL)EBL1352207(CaPaEBR)ebr10923915(CaONFJC)MIL510816(EXLCZ)99255000000125981820140910h20082004 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccr"One country, two systems" in crisis Hong Kong's transformation since the handover /edited by Wong Yiu-chung ; contributors, Brian Bridges [and nine others]First paperback edition.Lanham, Maryland ;Plymouth, England :Lexington Books,2008.©20041 online resource (255 p.)Includes index.0-7391-2905-8 0-7391-0492-6 Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Tables; Acknowledgments; Introduction Wong Yiu-chung; Part I: The Principle and Its Practice; 1 ""One Country"" and ""Two Systems"": Where Is the Line?
