The Television Revolution
In a few weeks half a million homes in Britain will be able to receive four brand-new TV channels by cable. And in a year 11 towns will get up to 50 more channels. Even more television will soon be beamed to us directly by satellites, British and foreign. After decades of regulated broadcasting, television could soon be as freely and as widely used as print. Mrs Thatcher wants to create 'the wired society'. But what will all the new channels carry? Will there be more real choice? And what will the effect be on existing TV?
Christopher Dunkley investigates.
