This book has got a complete history from 1948 to 1997(please note that this is only covering television because the network goes even further back to the 1920's from when it was a radio network created by the legendary William S. Paley.) It covers the most memorable news events like the Nixon-Kennedy debate, JFK's assasination, MLK's "I have a dream." speech, Vietnam, First Man on the Moon, Watergate, The Fall of the Berlin Wall, Gulf War, The Oklahoma City Bombing, Princess Diana's Wedding and Death, etc. It also covered the greatest moments in entertainment like the big "Who Shot J.R.?" mania, Rhoda's Subway ride to her own wedding, Chuckles getting killed, Murphy Brown giving birth, David Letterman joining the network, etc. Last but not least, the greatest events in sports like the Masters, the NFL, the NCAA Final Four, the Olympics, etc. I would recomend this book to any television history buff.

The book arrived sooner than expected and was in excellent condition. I definitely would recommend this seller.
