TELEVISION AND RECORD INDUSTRY HISTORY RESOURCES
Tim Brooks, Editor
Welcome to my website, with information on several subjects I've been researching and writing about for many years. Among them are television program history, the history of the record industry, and a more recent passion, reforming U.S. copyright law to preserve historical recordings and make them available to the public. Copyright should not be used to lock up our history! You'll find articles, book and CD reviews, pictures, audio files, and other useful tidbits. Check back periodically for more. After a long career as an author and executive in the television industry this site is part of my "next chapter." Everything is free (except for the great books, which I encourage you to buy), so explore and enjoy.
Note: while I'm happy to provide free information on this site, I cannot answer individual questions and do not buy or evaluate records.
