Live TV

"In 1992 David Montgomery arrived to take over the smouldering ruins of the Mirror Group, eager to follow the lead of his mentor Rupert Murdoch and reap billions from pay television." "After much careful thought he brought together two of the most extraordinary characters in the British media: Janet Street-Porter and Kelvin MacKenzie, the former editor of the Sun.".

"The result is a tale of power, greed, vanity, wheeler-dealing and madness in the weird and wonderful world of tabloid television, set against the background of a multi-billion war between cable and satellite companies for control of the nation's TV sets."--BOOK JACKET.
