cult tv fans- ema mihaere



Hills (2004) suggests that the popularity of cult TV depends on the fandom, the bigger the fandom the more exposure the cult TV show receives. Hills (2004) speculates that fans themselves can create better promotions for cult TV than other media. In comparison to fandom's established in the 1980s, present day fandom's have access to new forms of media such as the internet allowing fans to view cult TV  where ever and whenever they please. Fandom's can interact with each other via online forums to discuss cult TV and introduce it to new audiences.
