520 |a "It was on September 8, 1954 that the first made for television feature film aired called Black Forest . It starred Peggy Ann Garner and was broadcast first in New York City on WCBS-TV, Channel 2 on The Late Show . It would be another ten years before TV movies would become a regular part of the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS and NBC) schedule with such programs, as The ABC Movie of the Week and NBC Sunday Night at the Movies. Over 6,000 titles were broadcast by the three networks until basic cable also jumped on the bandwagon to produce their own movies. These include the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel. But with changing economic times and the race for ratings, the networks gradually dropped made-for-TV movies while basic cable embraced the format, especially the Hallmark Channel (with its numerous Christmas-themed movies) and the Syfy Channel with its array of shark attack movies and other things that go bump in the night. From the dwindling down days of broadcast movies to the influx of basic cable TV movies, it is all covered here in a single volume that covers the networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, Ion, and NBC) and such basic cable stations as ABC Family, Disney, Fox Family, Freeform, Hallmark, INSP, Lifetime, Nickelodeon, Syfy, TBS and TNT"--  |c Provided by publisher.
