BEHIND THE CONTROL ROOM
My 50 years in Hollywood: from broadcast to streaming
Television doesn’t happen by accident.
In Behind the Control Room, Howard Bolter takes readers inside a fifty-year career spent building television from the ground up, from soundstages and live broadcasts to cable channel launches, international networks, and the first wave of streaming platforms.
This is not a celebrity memoir. It is the story of the people who actually make television work: the crews, operators, producers, executives, and problem-solvers who keep shows moving when there is no script, no second take, and no margin for error.
Part memoir, part industry history, Behind the Control Room offers a candid look at television as a craft, a business, and a constantly evolving machine, told by someone who spent decades inside the control rooms, studios, and boardrooms where it all comes together.
