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). 606 $aCable television$zUnited States 610 $aCable. 610 $aVisions. 610 $aalternatives. 610 $abeyond. 610 $abroadcastings. 610 $acables. 610 $acapacity. 610 $acommercial. 610 $aconsider. 610 $acritically. 610 $ainterest. 610 $alooks. 610 $amainstream. 610 $amedia. 610 $apublic. 610 $aserve. 610 $atoward. 615 0$aCable television 676 $a384.5550973 702 $aBanet-Weiser$b Sarah$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aChris$b Cynthia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFreitas$b Anthony$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823951803321 996 $aCable Visions$93995658 997 $aUNINA
