Ah, what an appropriate post for Number 600!
Man, I am LOVING the “Broadcasting While Black” site. (Roxie Roker from “The Jeffersons” was a host of one of the shows! LOL!) New material is up, but it takes a LONG time to load. So while waiting, I found the above on Google Video. The show is called “For The People.” Its host is Listervelt Middleton.
A related comment: I have also been LOVING the idea of “Like It Is” being online. I have been slightly disappointed, though, with the reality of the small time window WABC-TV has created on the “Like It Is” page to see the shows. Well, I can now report that many of the episodes that WABC-TV has put online (but moved off of its main page) are available if you search “Like It Is” within Google Video! I knew WABC-TV was not erasing them! YES!!!!!
SEPTEMBER 19th UPDATE: I clearly spoke too soon. The old, “archived” links listed on Google Video don’t work, and “Like It Is” only keeps the current show (or two) on its page. *SIGH*.
i made that site, and just found your appreciation for it. awesome! It’s still a part of american/media/culture that’s super neglected. It pisses me off that much of that material isn’t available!
THANKS and yes, I agree!
