The Broadcasting Years, 1958-1989: Memoir of a Television Pioneer

In his sixth memoir, award-winning author and television broadcast pioneer, William L. McGee, recounts his 32-year career in broadcast sales.

Written in his signature straightforward and journalistic style, the author delivers a chronological and factual account of his work in an industry known for its competitive edge, and his rise in the field as an innovator in broadcast sales and co-operative advertising. McGee takes the reader behind the scenes on the other side of the television camera into his "Mad Men" world with its creativity, deadlines, excitement, too much travel, and many Martini lunches.

The memoir is well-organized and chronicles McGee's career in four parts:
Part I: Syndicated Television Program Sales, 1958-1962
Part II: National Radio and Television Station Rep, 1962-1967
Part III: Television Station Management, 1968-1970
Part IV: The BMC Story, 1971-1989

In 1982, McGee was recognized as a "Broadcast Pioneer...who has served the great cause of broadcasting since 1958." William L. McGee's writing career has spanned six decades. He has written 22 books; 9 with his co-author/wife Sandra V. McGee. Visit the author's website at www.WilliamMcGeeBooks.com.
