Decades Remixed

INHALT

In the '80s, there's a stratospheric rise of cable TV helped by networks like CNN. The 24hr news channel's coverage of John Lennon's death at the start of the decade and the rescue of baby Jessica McClure at the end, cements its place in viewers' homes. Many niche channels are spawned over the decade including MTV, QVC and many televangelism channels. The downfall of two famous televangelists, Jim and Tammy Bakker, becomes must-see TV.
