    Abstract

    Over the last two centuries, the media (especially broadcast television) have become central to sport and consequently have demanded the engagement of media studies (Wenner, 1998). Sport has raised – urgently – all the key questions that animate media studies, and it is important to understand the intertwined histories of this interdisciplinary field and its object of analysis. First, though, we should trace something of the history of media studies’ concerns and perspectives.
