Television and America's Children: A Crisis of Neglect
Since the demise of Captain Kangaroo in the early eighties, the three major commercial networks have offered no regularly scheduled weekday programming for children, and American Public TV, with its chronic lack of funds, produces only about a sixth the volume of new children's programs each year as Britain's BBC or Japan's NHK.
Yet, as Edward Palmer reveals in this illuminating volume, America could easily have the finest children's television in the world, for less than one cent per day for each of the nation's forty-two million children. One of the founders of the Children's Television Workshop pioneered twenty years ago, Palmer explores the reasons behind the deplorable state of U.S. children's television and lays a large part of the blame on commercial TV, whose policy is not to serve the public, but to sell viewers to advertisers. Television and America's Children offers specific remedies for this American crisis.

European Digital Television
Europe’s pay-TV industry is struggling, and interactive services won’t save it. Still, digital television (DTV) will reach 20 percent of European households at the end of 2002 and 59 percent of households by the end of 2007. Free-to-air digital terrestrial TV will drive much of this growth and make life even more difficult for cable and satellite operators. Companies are rolling out interactive services without clear objectives or realistic expectations of the services’ revenue potential.
