Alternative Views cable show - Tracy Riddle - 25-10-2013
Alternative Views was one of the longest running Public-access television cable TV programs in the United States. Produced in Austin, Texas in 1978, it produced 563 hour-long programs featuring news, interviews and opinion pieces from a progressive political perspective. Show founders and on-air hosts, Douglas Kellner and Frank Morrow, produced the show on virtually no budget using facilities at Austin Community Television (ACTV) and The University of Texas at Austin.[1] They also pioneered an innovative syndication system that placed the program in almost 80 television markets around the country.

It's amazing how many progressives and radicals there are in Texas; too bad they just don't make up a majority.

This is a very important interview. His book is a bit tedious but this talk breaks it down wonderfully.
