Michael Nolan
"Nolan hits his stride as a storyteller with this book, a lively
and readable synthesis of broadcasting history, criticism and
biography." Larry Cornies, London Free Press
".a very readable and entertaining history of the CTV network."
Peter Rehak, Daily Planet
"Nolan, who joined CTV as a news anchor soon after its launch in
1961 and currently teaches in the journalism program at the
University of Western Ontario, brings both an insider's and an
academic's expertise to bear on his subject." Calgary's News and
Entertainment Weekly
"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
"Nolan (Univ. of Western Ontario) worked for CTV in the 1960s, and
here he traces accurately and exhaustively CTV's early growing
pains and its battles with the Canadian Radio-Television and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). His account of the history of
CTV's sports and of the evolution of Canada AM and his
conversations with on-air personalities strengthen the book.
Although Nolan's research for this book was supported in part by
CTV, this is a balanced account. [Recommended for: upper-division
undergraduates through faculty interested in the history of
broadcasting in North America." M. J. Miller, Brock University,
