Covering Our History, Developing Our Future

AAT has covered virtually every social, economic and cultural events of the 20th Century. In fact, the Television Archive will be online in the not-so-distant future as an interactive encyclopedia of television, accessible worldwide by students, historians, and the public.

We stepped into our interactive future in 2005 by partnering with Google® Video, giving television fans the ability to watch a wellspring of AAT interviews online for free. Just months later, we celebrated our one millionth stream (see release).

Award winning producer-executives Grant A. Tinker, David L. Wolper, Dean Valentine, Television Academy Foundation Chairman Steve Mosko, and Chair Emeritus Thomas W. Sarnoff are guiding the Television Archive's success.
