Author

Listed:
  • Crane, Rhonda J.

Abstract

The author discusses the political processes and negotiations involved in the selection of a colour television standard for Europe in the 1960s. The French government's strategy in favour of its own system (SECAM) is examined, as well as the current economic status of the French colour television industry. The article explores the question of the selection and protection by a government of a 'national champion' product, and the strategies involved.
