Michael Nolan teaches media and politics in the journalism program at the University of Western Ontario and in the political science department at King's College, a Western affiliate. He joined CTV as a news anchor and correspondent in the mid 1960s. This is his third book on the Canadian media. Nolan lives in London, Ontario.

"Nolan hits his stride as a storyteller with this book, a lively and readable synthesis of broadcasting history, criticism and biography." Larry Cornies, London Free Press
