Editorial Reviews

Review

"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
