This text assesses the transformation of broadcasting currently taking place in Europe, where deregulation, coupled with advances in satellite, cable and video technology, promises consumer choice on an American scale. The contributors, from the UK, France, the US and Canada, explore the paradoxes of the new era in broadcasting.
