Hi there 👋🏽 #introduction
Goodness, how time flies! For more than ten years, we (that would be Editor-in-Chief Kim Akass, and @flavoursofopen ) have been running this little academic blog focusing on all things #TVstudies.
Continuing the long-running tradition of CSTonline's birdsite presence, we will be using this profile to post about new blogs by our wonderful community of bloggers, as well as new #CfPs etc. - so don't hesitate to follow us if you'd like to stay in the loop around what's happening in #TelevisionStudies 😀
