Genuinely transnational in content, as sensitive to the importance of production as consumption, covering the full range of approaches from political economy to textual analysis, and written by a star-studded cast of contributors, the SAGE Handbook of Television Studies is a most distinctive and useful guide to the diverse interests, foci and theoretical formations of television studies today.

Finally, we have before us a first rate, and wide ranging volume that reframes television studies afresh, boldly synthesising debates in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences. Even as the arrival of online digital media was heralded as the end of television as we knew it, this volume makes a renewed case for the continuing relevance of television studies for the twenty first century on a global scale. This volume should be in every library and media scholar’s bookshelf.

This book does an admirable job of covering the world of television media studies [and] provides in-depth analysis of many of the television systems in place around the world. [The] chapter by Oliver Boyd-Barrett, “From Network to Post-Network Age of US Television News,” should be required reading for all college students, not just television studies majors.  This volume provides a good introduction to television studies and a wealth of reference sources.
