Television is a 12 hour long live television program cablecasted from the studios at the picturesque Rembrantplein from 22.00 every Third Sarturday of the month, until 10.00. a.m. the following morning since 1992. Television is an open platform to discuss: politics, science, finances, media, art, culture, current affairs, telecommunications, live styles, etc. on a local, national and international level. Artists, musicians, journalists, politicians, captains of industry and citizens in general drop in the studio for a cool glass ofbeer and lively debate or to cooperate in the production of the program. Visitors are encouraged to actively participate by doing camera work,vision mixing,subtitling and all of the other tasks envolved in the program. Television began in 1992 as a special interest, (interdisciplinary) artists initiative but throughout the years it has evolved into a general interest program that is often described as one of the best examples of citizen television in Europe, catering for all different corners of the population. In each of the programs anchors deal with about 200 phone ins and the same amount of faxes and bbs messages.The program is entirely produced with consumer equipment: Camcorders, Amiga and Apple computers, picture phones, etc. Interactive communications has become one of the regular and most interesting features of the show, Cu-SeeMe and Video conferencing have become an integral part of the live television programming. It is the best way to assure participation on a national and international level at the lowest possible cost.	Chief Anchorman late Otto Valkman 1946-1996

Teletext

is a weekly publication via Item, the local teletext

system in Amsterdam.

Teletext

publishes articles, essays and information related to

television programs, as well as: the activities carried out via

Net. It also features: poetry, theatre plays, lyrics, cooking recepies, wine, the best places in town and in other capitals of the world, etc.

Teletext

also includes simple graphics and animations (very simple animations, but fantastic never the less!), short statements, punch lines, wise cracks and the like.

Live television incorporates teletext

in their package. Those at home with a teletext

feature in their TV set can enjoy contributions, very short contributions, by writers, poets and the like that are displayed on the upper part of the screen never longer than two lines. This was actually inspired in the way that telecasters translate their programming mostly from English into Dutch and German. Some think that it is a shame that

is local; so what? after all, all radio and television are local too. Some others think that teletext is clumsy and archaic; so what!? it delivers the message !! Teletext reigns!!! Entries can be submitted to:
