Routledge Television in Transition in East Asia - Media Culture Study

This scholarly examination explores the development of television broadcasting across Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea, analysing how broadcasting policy regimes have shaped television as a major institutional force. The book investigates the policy decisions, institutional dynamics and competing interests that have influenced the adoption of cable, satellite, digital broadcasting and internet-based television services in each country. By comparing these three distinct media markets, the work provides insight into how new forms of television have been integrated into contemporary media landscapes and the regional variations in how different broadcasting technologies have been embraced and regulated across East Asia.
