''Network 7'' was a short-lived but influential youth music and current affairs programme screened on Channel 4 over two series in 1987 and 1988. The series was created by Jane Hewland and Janet Street-Porter, who was also editor of the first series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Network 7 )〕 ==Overview== ''Network 7'' was broadcast live on Sundays from noon until two o'clock and was conceived of as a 'channel within a channel', something young people could roll out of bed and watch the morning after the night before. Its mission statement was "News is Entertainment. Entertainment is News." It was known for its heavily self-branded, frenetic visual style with wild camera work, rapid cuts, very short items and "blipverts" - a dense combination of innovative graphics, and pop video style visuals explaining everything from Third World debt to bulimia. Much of ''Network 7's'' innovative style can be seen as being inspired by a combination of elements such as the aesthetic of the ''Max Headroom'' drama ''20 Minutes into the Future'' and the studio-based anarchy of ''Tiswas''. The show's logo and distinctive brand and graphics (that predicted a desktop computer style) were designed by Malcolm Garrett's design studio Assorted iMaGes. The show took place in a specially built 'caravan city' in Limehouse Studios, a deserted banana warehouse on the site of what is now One Canada Square. Presenters included Jaswinder Bancil, Magenta Devine, Sankha Guha, Eric Harwood, Murray Boland, Tracey MacLeod, Sebastian Scott, and Trevor Ward.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Network 7 )〕 Most presenters had previously worked in either television or journalism in a smaller capacity, but they all got their first major TV exposure on the show. Charlie Parsons was a presenter and also part of the production staff.〔 He later set up the production company Planet 24, which produced ''The Word'' and ''The Big Breakfast'' with his partner Waheed Alli. ''Network 7'' challenged the idea that youth programming could only be a niche concern in the television business. The series won a British Academy () award for Originality for Hewland and Street Porter in 1987.〔 The series has been credited with changing the language of factual television and giving a start in the industry to some of UK TV's leading programme makers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Network 7」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
