Summary:
The swashbucklers who battled for control of the airwaves – and over what is broadcast on them – have left behind them a rich record, one that Nash brings to life in this vivid and entertaining story of the men – the Sedgwicks of Toronto, the Siftons of the Prairies, the Thomsons of Ontario, the Bassetts and the Rogers of Toronto, the Aspers of Winnipeg, the Shaws of Calgary, the Chandlers of Vancouver, the Peladeaus of Quebec, along with Moses Znaimer of CITY TV and Ivan Fecan of CTV – who together have entertained us (and tried to sell us things) in the privacy of our living rooms for much of this century.
