NOKIA/HEWLETT PACKARD ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE NAME VISUAL RADIO

Watch the back & forth on http://www.wikipedia.com - the encyclopedia of the web.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Radio

Visual Radio is ever expanding - and imitation is the sincerist form of flattery.
Joe Viglione's original television program, Visual Radio, is entering its 11th year.
Suddenly, the "brains" at Nokia/Hewlett Packard want to take this intellectual property by "eminent domain." Ridiculous.

The concept is mine!

KEELY B and SHAWN MYRIE on Visual Radio Program #333

Visual Radio #333 is currently airing on all our
stations:

Boston

Burlington
RCN Network
Brookline
Malden

It's going out to our newest station, Billerica.

now.

We just got Monson & Palmer Mass - M-Pact TV.

We are talking to Winchester, Stoneham, Reading,
Norfolk, Quincy, Braintree and other cities and towns about airing the
program.


As well as the cities and towns surrounding the Tower Record chain which has the disc by KeelyB.

R.I.P. Johnny Carson - 1/23/09

What can be said about numero uno that others won't say better? I'll let Sid Smith of the Chicago Tribune, their arts critic, do the honors:

Published January 23, 2005, 2:32 PM CST

http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-050123carson,1,5351010.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true

Some may be able to top Johnny's achievements, but it is impossible to top Johnny himself as he is the archetype, the original. Sure, Steve Allen launched as host of the show in the birthyear of Visual Radio's host - 1954 - and Jack Paar got 5 years in from 1957-1962

http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/T/htmlT/tonightshow/tonightshow.htm

but Mr. Carson's 20 year run established the format of entertainer and his hour of guests, monologues, and mayhem (planned or by divine intervention) that developed on your tv screen.
In the film version of Bill Carter's "The Late Shift" Kathy Bates talks about Leno "eating the steak but not wanting to know how the cows are slaughtered" (paraphrased). In her Helen Kushnick persona she declares that she pushed Johnny Carson out.

A user of the movie board http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116835/
says "I tell you what, after watching this movie, then watching either the Letterman or Leno show, all I want to do is crack open my Johnny Carson DVDs and see the real thing" and that
unsolicited comment just about says it all.

Here's an interesting interview with Betty Thomas on "The Late Shift"
http://industrycentral.net/director_interviews/BT01.HTM

My best friend growing up was addicted to Johnny Carson. Of course, we being eleven or twelve years old, there was a certain cache to being able to stay up that late at night. Johnny was the reason, or excuse.

R.I.P. - may your work inspire us to find better ways to entertain in the new Millennium, Johnny.

The Story of Visual Radio!

Joe Viglione's original presentation of "radio for your tv".

Visual Radio began when Joe Viglione was Director of Research for North America Media Corporation, a production company which developed content for PBS. The idea began in 1992 when Joe became a member of Woburn Cable TV but didn't launch until early 1995 when Marty Balin & The Jefferson Starship allowed a concert and interview to air. Jo Jo Gun at WGIR in Manchester, New Hampshire was the next guest, followed by Bobby Hebb, composer of "Sunny" and the Grammy Award winning "A Natural Man".

Ten years later over 325 hours of programming has been generated featuring guests such as Richard Branson, Linda Ronstadt, Lou Reed, Vincent Bugliosi, Professor Stephen Hawking, Curt Schilling of The Boston Red Sox, Bill Press, author Dennis Lehane, Suzanne Vega, author Edward Hallowell, Laura Numeroff, Spiderman/Jurassic Park scriptwriter David Koepp, and hundreds of other wonderful guests.

Landing big names
By Diana Brown, 2/1/2004

Cable television host Joseph Viglione launched his Visual Radio Television show nine years ago in Woburn. He has lined up some pretty impressive interviews along the way, which number 300 now and have aired in many local towns. Virgin Airlines founder Richard Branson, singers Judy Collins and Suzanne Vega, performance artist Laurie Anderson, ''Mystic River" author Dennis Lehane, professor Stephen Hawking, and band members from The Doors, Grand Funk Railroad, The Rolling Stones, The Cars, and The Jefferson Starship, are just a sample of the notables Viglione has had on his show. Viglione writes for All Media Guide and is working on a book about Lou Reed's 1973 Rock 'n' Roll Animal Tour

Hello Blog World!

On or around April 18, 2004 Visual Radio became aware of the BLOG phenomenon (in regards to Visual Radio being on a blog of our own!)

In 1997, August 30 or 31, we went online with WEBTV!

http://www.varulven.com/visualradio.html will connect you to the original sites.

Our original Visual Radio expage happened circa 2000 when we had "Non-Visual Radio" broadcasting on AM 1670 and AM 1530 in Boston/Brookline.

http://www.expage.com/visualradio

http://vrtv.blogspot.com is a page we created in December of 2004!
