Q: You seem to view your role at the
Nine Network as staying focused on the
future, while staying true to its history.
Would you say that, in a lot of ways,                                      Amy with her mother,

relationship with Nine, starting as a child
and now serving as its leader?

A: I think that’s a good way to look at it. I don’t
want to give away my age, but I grew up in a time
when there wasn’t cable, not until my teens, so
there were only a few channels, and Nine was
very important to my family. My dad, who passed
away some time ago, would have been delighted,
and my mom, who we just recently lost, was
beyond proud that I’m leading Nine.

       The National Parks:
       America’s Best Idea
       Filmed at nature's most spectacular
       locales, like Acadia, Yosemite,
       Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon,
       this Ken Burns’ docuseries is,
       nonetheless, a story about people.
       People from every conceivable
       background—rich and poor, famous
       and unknown, soldiers and scientists,
       natives and newcomers, idealists,
       artists and entrepreneurs—who
       were willing to devote themselves
       to saving some precious portion of
       the land they loved, and in doing so
       reminded their fellow citizens of the
       full meaning of democracy.

In the closing decades of the 19th
century, during what has become
known as the Gilded Age, the
population of the U.S. doubled in
the span of a single generation.

amounts of foreign investment,
and pushed into markets in
Europe and the Far East. As
national wealth expanded, two
classes rose simultaneously,
separated by a gulf of experience
and circumstance that was
unprecedented in American
life. These disparities sparked
passionate and violent debate
over questions still being
asked in our own times: How
is wealth best distributed, and
by what process? The Gilded
Age presents a compelling and
complex story of one of the most
convulsive and transformative
eras in American history.
