From Networks to Netflix Summary

From Networks to Netflix: A Guide to Changing Channels by Derek Johnson (University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA)

Even as the television industry experiences significant transformation and disruption in the face of streaming and online delivery, the television channel itself persists. If anything, the television channel landscape has become more complex to navigate as viewers can now choose between broadcast, cable, streaming, and premium services across a host of different platforms and devices. From Networks to Netflix provides an authoritative answer to that navigational need, helping students, instructors, and scholars understand these industrial changes through the lens of the channel. Through examination of emerging services like Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, investigation of YouTube channels and cable outlets like Freeform and Comedy Central, and critiques of broadcast giants like ABC and PBS, this book offers a concrete, tangible means of exploring the foundations of a changing industry.

From Networks to Netflix Reviews

If you thought that the TV channel was dead, then From Networks to Netflix will prove you wrong. Derek Johnson has gathered together an impressive range of cutting edge scholarship that demonstrates that channels not only matter, but also are essential tools for understanding the current and future development of television. -Catherine Johnson, University of Nottingham, UK

From Networks to Netflix is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of television. More than carefully researched channel biographies, the essays in this book together constitute an original retheorization of television's organizational forms - and a reflection on the aggregation, branding, and formatting of media more generally. -Ramon Lobato, RMIT University, Australia

From Networks to Netflix challenges readers to rethink how we approach legacy channels and new platforms. Johnson has assembled a formidable array of scholars, who, in pleasurable prose, chronicle and analyze industrial strategies, curatorial practices, distribution, and viewership habits. Covering 'old,' new, and emergent channels, this collection deftly oscillates between networks and platforms. -Ben Aslinger, Bentley University, USA
