As an ex-media studies student, I gained a fairly healthy interest in the workings of the broadcast media. Forget the programmes, far more interesting is the alliances, rivalries, behind-the-scenes wranglings, and general skulduggery between the various companies that run British television. Bearing that in mind, here is a list of all the best sites on this sort of subject:
The Unofficial Stuff:
Digital Spy - News and gossip about British and international TV.
TV Ark - An extensive archive of old TV idents and information.
