Eleanor Patterson's fascinating cultural history explores the distribution of radio and TV tapes from the 1960s through the 1980s. Looking at bootlegging against the backdrop of mass media's formative years, Patterson delves into some of the major subcultures of the era. Old-time radio aficionados felt the impact of inexpensive audio recording equipment and the controversies surrounding programs like Amos 'n' Andy. Bootlegging communities devoted to buddy cop TV shows like Starsky and Hutch allowed women to articulate female pleasure and sexuality while Star Trek videos in Australia inspired a grassroots subculture built around community viewings of episodes. Tape trading also had a profound influence on creating an intellectual pro wrestling fandom that aided wrestling's growth into an international sports entertainment industry. Original and engaging, Bootlegging the Airwaves shares the story of how fan passion and technology merged into a flourishing subculture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Video recordings $x Pirated editions. 650 0 $a Sound recordings $x Pirated editions. 650 0 $a Television viewers $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Radio audiences $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Fans (Persons) 776 08 $i Online version: $a Patterson, Eleanor, 1983- $t Bootlegging the airwaves $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2024 $z 9780252055249 $w (DLC) 2023023178 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8048C38C19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
