Inside MTV

Inside MTV

MTV is the third major breakthrough in music broadcasting and the first since the late 1960s. Top Forty radio was initiated in the 1950s and along with free form or progressive rock molded rock music exposure for nearly twenty years. Many observers credit MTV with resurrecting the music industry from the throes of the Great Depression of 1979. Few would dispute its impact on contemporary film fashion and radio. Inside MTV examines the world of cablecasting the evolution of WASEC MTV VH-1 and some of their competitors. The strategies personalities promotions and the contents that placed MTV on the road to its dominant position are described. The many controversies surrounding the channel are thoroughly detailed and a good deal of the misinformation on the subject is corrected. It is a mere five years since MTV began as the third of four Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) channels created by two of America's largest conglomerates. Since then it has become a major force. Before MTV was conceived the relationship between television and rock music was weak at best. As the new partnership . developed a story of genius luck and discrimination began to unfold and a corporate innovation of major proportions and psychodemographic success emerged. MTV is now the most profitable 24-hour cable outlet beamed from a satellite. It reaches 30. 8 million households. How all this happened is chronicled in this major new book from a leading authority on the American music business.

The Making of Modern Uganda

The Making of Modern Uganda

First published in 1958 The Making of Modern Uganda is concerned with the formation of modern Uganda in the sixty years since the 1890s when the foundations of the British administration were laid. In the first decade of the 20th century Sir Hesketh Bell Uganda’s Governor decided that Uganda should be built up by Africans under the disinterested guidance of Europeans. The book therefore traces the emergence of a territory whose material prosperity is mainly based upon peasant agriculture guided by the advice of British agricultural officers. It describes the development from an era of tribal clan and even village organisation to the system of centralised government along semi-parliamentary lines but notes the disagreement as to whether Uganda’s future should lie as a unitary or a federal state. The controversial issue of closer union with the other East African territories is studied at some length as also is the growth of the politically active minority which plays so important a part in the modern Protectorate. The author believes that the years of ‘happy Uganda’ the years before the Second World War were a period in which hard work coupled with peace and obvious progress tended to conceal for many the growth of new forces which needed an outlet and only found one in the political and constitutional developments of the post-war age. This book will be of interest to students of history African studies ethnic studies and political science.
