| Abstract | In time, some wit will probably call it "Buywatch." On July 1, the Sydeney-based, Hong Kong-controlled Television Shopping Network (TVSN) began beaming its round-the-clock program to satellite and cable TV viewers in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines. Those tuning in see talk shows plugging products that can be ordered by calling toll-free numbers in Australia, paid for by credit card and delivered by mail or courier. |
