Albany, Atlanta, Denver and suburban Maryland, 1954 to 1999. Four men find the same gap and walk through it from different sides. Tom Murphy buys weak television stations and runs them so cheaply that they throw off cash nobody else is generating. Ted Turner puts an unwatched Atlanta channel onto a satellite and discovers he has invented a national network by accident. John Malone works out that a cable system is not a broadcaster but a toll road, and that a toll road should never show a profit. John Hendricks builds a channel out of documentaries nobody else wants. By 1999 all four businesses have been sold, and the thing they built has swallowed the networks that ignored it. Covers Tom Murphy, Ted Turner, John Malone, John Hendricks, Capital Cities, American Broadcasting Company, and Tele-Communications Inc.
