Page 1: Video Directory - Radical Software, Inc. · Now using 1/2" CV equipment as educa-tional and therapeutic tool in schools for emotionally disturbed adolescents. Hopes to produce training

Video DirectoryIn issue 5, volume 1 of Radical Software the video directory included as complete a listing aspossible of all the people we knew working with 1/2" videotape . The following is a continua-tion of that directory with a brief synopsis wherever possible of the type of work particulargroups or individuals are doing and the equipment available to them .

In this issue we did not include a separate data bank section . Therefore, wherever you see anasterisk * next to the name of a group or individual we have included their present tape offer-ings, or a description of the kinds of tapes they're offering, and/or special announcementsthey wished to make . Where groups or individuals have articles in other parts of the paper thetape offerings are listed there .

If you are not included in this directory or the one in issue 5, though you submitted the ap-propriate information to us, or if you've never written to us, or if your listing is incorrect orneeds additions, please fill out the form below and return to us .

Michael Goldberg of the Video Exchange Directory pointed out to us that our list in the past had functioned primarily asone-way access, while Intermedia's was designed for a two-way communication. Thus as we announced in Radical Sof-tware #5, volume 1, in addition to feeding back to Radical Software (c/o Box 135, Ruby, N .Y . 12475) it would be helpful ifyou returned a xerox of the form to Video Exchange Directory c/o Vancouver Art Gallery.1145 West Georgia, Vancouver, 5British Columbia, Canada) .

In January CHYM's FM sta-tion made an hour available on Sundaysfor WW's community programming, butthis only meant that the group was de-pendent on outside media hospitality foraccess. For about a year WW has beenlaying the groundwork for a publiclyowned FM station . If a licence is granted

the facility will be available to anyonewho cares to make a program . . . nocommercials, no profits . . . . The prob-lem is to write an application that willconvince the CRTC to open its doors to anew concept of programming .
