It’s Not TV
Since first going on the air in 1972, HBO has continually attempted to redefine
television as we know it. Today, pay television (and HBO in particular) is positioned as
an alternative to network offerings, consistently regarded as the premier site for what
has come to be called “quality television.”
This collection of new essays by an international group of media scholars argues that
HBO, as part of the leading edge of television, is at the center of television studies’
interests in market positioning, style, content, technology, and political economy. The
contributors focus on pioneering areas of analysis and new critical approaches in
television studies today, highlighting unique aspects of the “HBO effect” to explore
new perspectives on contemporary television from radical changes in technology to
dramatic shifts in viewing habits.
It’s Not TV
provides fresh insights into the “post-television network” by examining
HBO’s phenomenally popular and pioneering shows, including
The Sopranos
,
The Wire
,
Six Feet Under
,
Sex and the City
as well as its failed series, such as
K Street
and
The
Comeback
. The contributors also explore the production process itself and the creation
of a brand commodity, along with HBO’s place as a market leader and technological
innovator.
