Desperate Networks
Bill Carter
This book takes readers behind the scenes of the TV industry during a time of sweeping media change. With billions of dollars at stake and fierce competition, the major networks fight for the attention of viewers increasingly distracted by cable, video games, and the internet. The author captures the true portraits of the larger-than-life moguls and stars who make it such a cutthroat business. Bill Carter delivers utterly irresistible "dish" that you won't find anywhere else, making it the perfect book to read when there's nothing on TV.

@ravi_hiranand @waltmossberg @Apple The book by Bill Carter is excellent and the later book he wrote about the Conan debacle is excellent too. His book Desperate Networks is also a fantastic behind the scenes of early 00s TV – source
