Behind the Control Room is not a celebrity memoir. It’s the story of how television actually works.

Over fifty years, Howard Bolter worked behind the scenes of television—lighting sets, managing crews and staff, running and launching channels, solving technical crises, and helping guide the industry from broadcast to cable to streaming—often alongside the on-air talent and executives audiences recognize, and just as often far from the spotlight.

With humor, honesty, and an insider’s perspective, Behind the Control Room pulls back the curtain on a business that rarely tells its own story.

When an unidentified man is found murdered outside Centerpoint, Nebraska, a fingerprint scan triggers a restricted federal alert—placing the case under the covert Homicide Response Command. Captain Cyrus “CG” Greene quickly learns the victim worked for the Russian Embassy, which admits he was staff but denies knowing why he was in the Sandhills.

The deeper CG digs, the clearer it becomes: the embassy’s lies are misdirection, the evidence is being manipulated, and corruption inside the system is driving the narrative toward a threat that isn’t foreign at all.

In a world shrouded in mystery and deception, why are terrorists avoiding government targets? Where does the endless stream of funds fueling their operations originate? What malevolent end game do they pursue? Imagine a twisted reality where esteemed billionaire industrialists are the true puppet masters behind the terrorists’ facade. Who claims victory – the terrorists or the capitalists?

From Stream to Screen: An Insider’s Guide to Understanding and Building Streaming Networks is the definitive handbook for anyone looking to understand the inner workings of streaming networks. Written by an industry expert, this comprehensive guide takes readers behind the scenes, exploring every facet of how streaming platforms operate and thrive.
