One Way To Assess the significance of recent technological innova tions associated with the shift from analogue to digital television platforms in the United States is to chart their impact upon traditional assumptions about television and its audience, assumptions themselves informed by specific historical forces within and beyond the television industry. The turmoil which accompanied the medium’s transition to digital standards at the end of the 1990s threw into stark relief how far the industry had moved from the instrumental fantasies of reception, ontology, and national identity associated with the era of network television in the USA from the 1940s into the 1980s, with its apotheosis in the period of the early 1960s described in Chapter 3.
