Reviews for CTV
"Nolan hits his stride as a storyteller with this book, a lively and readable synthesis of broadcasting history, criticism and biography." Larry Cornies, London Free Press ".a very readable and entertaining history of the CTV network." Peter Rehak, Daily Planet "Nolan, who joined CTV as a news anchor soon after its launch in 1961 and currently teaches in the journalism program at the University of Western Ontario, brings both an insider's and an academic's expertise to bear on his subject." Calgary's News and Entertainment Weekly "CTV
A Network That Means Business goes into a step by step analysis of CTV since its conception. He delivers the growth of CTV with interesting and informative detail by painting a picture that exposes the birth, growth, and stature of CTV." Erfana Buksh, CJSF "Nolan got good quotes from Bassett who had the vision
but not the force to pull it off
of a single-owner network that it now is after his death." Sid Adilman, The Star.com "Nolan (Univ. of Western Ontario) worked for CTV in the 1960s, and here he traces accurately and exhaustively CTV's early growing pains and its battles with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). His account of the history of CTV's sports and of the evolution of Canada AM and his conversations with on-air personalities strengthen the book. Although Nolan's research for this book was supported in part by CTV, this is a balanced account. [Recommended for: upper-division undergraduates through faculty interested in the history of broadcasting in North America." M. J. Miller, Brock University, CHOICE
