Listening to popular music and watching television have become the
two most common activities for postwar generations in Britain. From
the experiences of programmes like Oh Boy! and Juke Box Jury, to
the introduction of 24 hour music video channels, the number and
variety of television outputs that consistently make use of popular
music, and the importance of the small screen as a principal point
of contact between audiences and performers are familiar components
of contemporary media operation. Yet there have been few attempts
to examine the two activities in tandem, to chart their parallel
evolution, to explore the associations that unite them, or to
consider the increasingly frequent ways in which the production and
consumption of TV and music are linked in theory and in practice.
This volume provides an invaluable critical analysis of these, and
other, topics in newly-written contributions from some of Britain's
leading scholars in the disciplines of television and/or popular
music studies. Through a concentration on four main areas in which
TV organises and presents popular music - history and heritage;
performers and performances; comedy and drama; audiences and
territories - the book investigates a diverse range of musical
genres and styles, factual and fictional programming, historical
and geographical demographics, and the constraints of commerce and
technology to provide the first systematic account of the place of
popular music on British television.
