'The 4th Edition, published post the digitalization of TV with ATSC transmissions, presents an unprecedented overview of the new world of broadcasting with contemporary technologies being brought to the fore with amazing clarity. Retaining broadcasting as its core theme, it brings you up to speed with the entire chain involved-acquisition, production, broadcasting and streaming. A must-read for all professionals.' - Amitabh Kumar, Zee Network, India

'This book is a great source for quickly finding what a particular broadcast-related acronym stands for. Think of this text as a relief valve that lets an interested reader reasonably drink from a high-pressure technical information water main.' - Dane Ericksen, Hammett & Edison, Inc., USA

Skip Pizzi is one of those rare gems-a polymath who can translate complex concepts to the lay person.
