Abstract
Sunbeam Television, owner of a television station in Miami (a Fox affiliate), buys Channel 7 (a CBS affiliate) in Boston. They bring to the Boston station the concepts and ideas of their Miami news product--that is, a crisp, content-based design rather than one centered around personalities. Industry changes force them out of the CBS affiliation in Boston. Having considered both FOX and NBC, Sunbeam finally settles on NBC. The implications and motivations of their decision are to be discussed.; To illustrate the business of television and to demonstrate the value of channel in the television business.
