What happens
Alternative Views was one of the longest running public-access 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. They also pioneered an innovative syndication system that placed the program in almost 80 television markets around the country. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
