Elvis Live at Five — John Paxson

First they created the ultimate talk-show host. Now all they need to do is create the ultimate news story.

Elvis Live at Five is an updated version of Paddy Chayevsky's Network--a fascinating behind-the-scenes drama about the people--and in this case, dead rock idols-- behind the news. Nick Upton, news manager of KVGO-TV in Dallas thought the newsroom was a jungle BEFORE his ruthless new boss took over. Then a computer geek shows Nick how to boost the ratings-let a technologically cutting-edge virtual Elvis have his own show. Elvis lives for millions of viewers in no time. But who controls Elvis? And are those people at all interested in truth in broadcasting? What lengths will they go to to keep those profits rolling in?

As Nick Upton fights for what he believes in, not only is his life in danger, but so is the future of the truth as we know it. Scathing, funny, and frighteningly close to the bone, Elvis Live at Five is a brave preview of a whole new world.
