Abstract
The television industry began a dramatic transformation in the mid 7 970s following the creation of the cable-satellite programming distribution system. This paper details the evolution of the cable-satellite link, from its conceptual roots in the 7 9605, through pioneering efforts by Teleprompter Corp., to the eventual involvement of Home Box Office. It offers a narrative and analysis that fills a gap in the existing historical record and provides an illustration of several themes involving the social evolution of technology.
