Book Synopsis

What Television Remembers explores the relationship between the medium of TV and the city of Toronto. In a close reading of CBC dramas from the 1960s to 2010, VanderBurgh explains how the city has functioned as a strategic location in CBC programming, reflecting changing ideas about Canadian identity, community, and citizenship.



Trade Review

“A great book to think with, an excellent contribution to the history and study of Canadian television, and an important meditation on the central problem of performing research on Canada’s media culture when there is such a paucity of archival resources, What Television Remembers is also a pleasure to read. VanderBurgh’s writing is clear, concise, and evocative.” Ira Wagman, Carleton University
