This article addresses the development of new scheduling practices within public service media (PSM) in the Nordic, focusing on DR and TV 2 in Denmark. These practices relate to in-house broadcaster-video-on-demand-services (BVoDs). Our findings show, first, that television’s time-structured identity and liveness are re-configured for a mainstream audience as opposed to the segmented audiences approach of the earlier multi-channel era. Second, we find that the public service identity and the benefits of being PSM natives are harnessed to help the survivability of PSM companies in the digital era.

This aerial review concentrates on the development of the South African television industry as chronicled and analysed by scholarship. Academic reflections on the evolution of television are categorised into three main periods: First, the advent of South African television, second, the transitional period, and third, a period of stocktaking. The overview aims to provide readers with key academic discussions during these periods and the historical context within which they took shape. Looking at issues ranging from censorship, nation-building, restructuring and globalisation, to event television, edutainment programming and community TV, the South African television environment is shown to be in constant transition.

This paper is interested in representations of mass surveillance in Hunted, Channel 4’s reality tv series in which ‘ordinary British citizens’ roleplay as ‘fugitives’ that must evade surveillance and capture by ‘the state.’ Here contentious powers of state surveillance are mitigated by (a) the programme’s deployment of a myth of surveillance ‘symmetry’ and a ‘fugitive fantasy’ that obfuscate the racial politics of ‘being watched’ in a post-9/11 climate; (b) personal stories of contestants or ‘fugitives’ that enable a ‘therapeutic self’ that situates the mass surveillance experience as productive and transformative; and (c) the ‘gamification’ of surveillance itself.

This study tracks the activities of Hungarian Television’s Executive Committee, elected during the October 1956 revolution, which played a key role in the establishment of said television. The work of the Executive Committee included the development of a new television programme policy and structure, as well as the first transmissions of sports events, operas and theatrical performances, the renewal of newscasts and the introduction of entertainment and scientific programmes. It had a long-lasting impact and provided a solid basis for the future operation of Hungarian television.

reflection and analysis triggered by the narratives animating them. The ability to interpret the contemporary world through the mirror of fiction is seen as a necessity regarding the opportunities that the future may unfold. Behind this practice, Lynch shows us a path of thinking taking shape and arising from an in-depth study of serials, accompanied by the voices of the many philosophers that are mentioned in the various chapters of the book; it is a path that moves under the surface of the texts and much of the sense of a story is produced through the many layers of meaning that are summoned through the ongoing exercise of thinking itself. Only in this way is it possible to produce unprecedented connections between features of the stories and the scenarios of reality. Although Between Habit and Thought undoubtedly presents elements of interest and originality, at times the philosophical speculation runs the risk of prevailing over the ability to bring out the specificities and intrinsic qualities of the serial as a television phenomenon. This is, nevertheless, a book which will be of much interest to those already engaged with philosophical approaches to television analysis.

in China and the West should learn from each other. Documentaries and China’s National Image makes us realise that, although the communication strategies of the national image in Chinese documentaries have undergone various changes over time, the national agenda has always constrained the creation of documentaries within its own framework. The book is rich in case studies within a certain theoretical framework, and this is the first time the book has been translated into English, which opens a window for international readers to understand Chinese documentary creation.

television exists for everyone. By attending to the diversity of television and the experiences of those watching, Holdsworth breaks down hierarchies of value and challenges the dominance of “quality” television within television studies. A landmark book that will undoubtedly be a foundational text and a catalyst for further research, On Living with Television offers its reader a much-needed alternate perspective on what it means to watch and live with television.
