THE RISE AND FALL OF THE RUST BELT

Running through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, ending in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, the Rust Belt was once the hub of the American industrial revolution and innovation, everything from steel and motor vehicles to typewriters and razor blades that made the US an economic powerhouse.

In the 1970s, it fell into decline. Cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo and Milwaukee enjoyed the boom times and then felt the impact of the fall as competition from abroad, economic crises and automation all took their toll.

This two part series is a telling story in an early 21st century world where once again innovation, disruption and displacement are forces across the planet.

What the industry says about US

TV Control, Greece

We are very happy with the Global Listings service. The character length of the event descriptions fits our EPG limits, and as well as that your EPG teams always answer any questions that we may have promptly. The Global Listings schedules and EPGs are always delivered on time; we receive all your channels well in advance of airing times. Thanks a lot.

TT Spektra, Sweden

We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.
