      abstract = {This book is the first authoritative account of the UK's  independent television production sector, following the  creation of Channel 4 in 1982. It examines the rise of a  global industry, increasingly interconnected through format  development, distribution, ancillary sales and rights.  Drawing on case studies, interviews and policy analysis;  the author considers the cultural politics behind the  growth of the 'indies', the labour conditions for workers  in this sector, and some of the key television programmes  that have been created within it. Filling an important gap  in our understanding, this book constitutes a comprehensive  account of this vital cultural industry for students,  academics and researchers working in the areas of the  cultural and creative industries, media and cultural policy  and television studies.},
