Canada before Television
" Kuffert makes a compelling case that the story here is one of the broadcaster trying to discern listeners' taste, and attempting to appeal to as well as shape it - a provocative book, rich in its methodology and scholarship." Jeff A. Webb, Memorial University of Newfoundland " In a good-hearted and sympathetic way, [Kuffert] charts the impact of radio when it was young." The National Post

While this mixed system divided Canadians then and now, the presence of more than one vision for the emerging medium made the early years of broadcasting in Canada more culturally democratic for listeners who stood a better chance of getting both what they already liked and what they might come to like. Canada before Television offers an insightful look at the place of radio and debates about programming in the development of a cultural democracy.
