"Air Wars tells how a grassroots movement of concerned citizens were able to overcome enormous institutional influence in their quest for public accountability.

These citizens believed strongly in public television's unique mission to serve the diverse social and cultural needs of local communitites. When their own station neglected this mission in the search for national prestige and bigger revenues, they felt profoundly betrayed. A riviting narrative of the price of politics, money and ambition, and an inspirational account of how ordinary people can prevail over powerful interests." - cover
