Product Information
This title presents a unique insider account of the rise and fall of ITV, as seen through the fate of Granada Television, and the ripple effect on the standard of broadcasting we see on our screens today. It is the unfolding of the story of 25 years, in which The best broadcasting system in the world was turned into Ignorance and self-interest, the idiocy and feeble mindedness that is 21st century ITV . It is a book based on more than 90 exclusive interviews with key players who had their hands on the money, and the power, behind commercial television, but who saw politicians, businessmen and broadcasters convert high quality public service broadcasting into a ratings driven commercial wasteland, undermining the BBC and Channel 4. Accompanied by a collection of original photographs, The Dream That Died is essential for anyone involved in, or learning about, the broadcasting industry.Product Identifiers

Now we know what went on behind the scenes.
As a former employee at Granada TV I knew the author and in fact worked with many of the names depicted in this incredible book. I had retired around the period when the work force were subjected to all kinds of rumours, but I doubt that few of us would have known what was REALLY being played out in Management circles. Some of the Chapters are very hard to read depicting the events being masterminded by the perpetrators who succeeded in eventually bringing this amazing Company to its knees but making sure they lined their own pockets at the expense of those who served under them. From the day when the cleaning staff were all sacked and were expected to apply for new contracts, the writing was on the wall as this once proud figurehead of TV Broadcasting was stripped of its very heart. Congratulations to Ray Fitzwalter and all those named contributors for telling it like it was.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
