Following up our acclaimed interview with Gilbert Gottfried, GALLAGHER appeared on Visual Radio On Tuesday afternoon, 5:30 PM, October 11, 2011 The comic was interviewed on an in-studio taping of VISUAL RADIO http://gallaghersmash.com/
Not our usual "Visual Radio Live"
Watch that page for more details. VAMPIRE MONTH CONTINUES ON VISUAL RADIO at WinCAM! AUTHOR ARTHUR LENNIG on VISUAL RADIO
Our Tribute To Bela Lugosi in October continues!
On Thursday evening, October 13, 2011, Bela Lugosi biographer ARTHUR LENNIG will talk about his books THE COUNT (1974) and THE IMMORTAL COUNT (2003) on Visual Radio Live.
Lennig's book was the first in-depth look at the brilliant yet troubled life of Lugosi, the star of stage and screen who immortalized author Bram Stoker's vampire, with lines like "I never drink...wine" and "I am...Dracula" The 1974 edition, entitled The Count "The life and films of Bela "Dracula" Lugosi", contained 374 pages. Published by Putnam, the book quickly sold out of its initial run and was not re-released by that New York publisher, making it very valuable in collector's circles.
On June 27, 2003, the University Press of Kentucky put out an amazing leather-bound hardcover edition with 174 additional pages and a new title: THE IMMORTAL COUNT: The life and films of Bela Lugosi. It expands upon the original work and pays great attention to detail. Among the dozen or so books on Lugosi many consider this the best read...and the most accurate.
Also on Visual Radio, author Frank Dello Stritto who is thanked in the Lennig book. Dello Stritto published his "Vampire Over London: Bela Lugosi in Britain" on Cult Movies Press in September of 2000. Like Lennig's THE COUNT, this is a 1st edition book that is fast becoming a collectors item as well.
Dello Stritto, a weekly contributor to Visual Radio, will discuss a classic Lugosi film The Invisible Ghost with Joe Viglione and Kevin Russo on October 13, 2011, for rebroadcast on the Friday night show, immediately preceding WinCAM's Friday Night at the movies. Visual Radio Live airs on WinCAM at 8 PM on Thursday nights following The Wonderful Show Channel 8 on Comcast; Channel 36 on Verizon
The Malden movie show Reeling follows Visual Radio on Thursday Nights
Also - Boris Karloff in THE VEIL will broadcast Monday - Friday at 10 PM for at least the next two weeks! (see below)

DR. WILLIAM WOOD discussing his appearance in October of 2010 on VISUAL RADIO
"Joe, I'll tell you something. People stopped us in the street, each one of us at different times and, actually, in different places. People that we never saw before. And they said "You were on TV...and I hadn't been on TV for quite a few years. And I told them about your show.
(They said) "I learned more about the Greenline on your show than I knew about the Greenline at all!"
Dr. William Wood and his wife, Carolyn Rosen, returned to
VISUAL RADIO on August 12, 2011. Posted during the day on 8/15/11, by the 19th the hits were up to 120.
By the way, Visual Radio's host is a victim of identity theft. The authorities are working on it. Beware of false videos out there. A formal announcement will be made soon.
What is Readercon, you ask? This 22 year old convention for Science Fiction and Fantasy readers is an essential event held annually at the Burlington Marriot in Burlington, Massachusetts. As I write this the four day event is in high gear, parties in some of the suites, authors talking to fans, tons of books for sale in a huge dealer's room set up smack dab in the middle of the festival.
It's fascinating. the hardcore devotees of the stuff that millions of people are running out to the movie theaters this week to experience...all congregating just a hop, skip and a jump from the new Harry Potter movie, Deathly Hallows Part 2, down the road at the AMC in Burlington as well as both the Showcase Cinemas in Woburn and Imax in Reading. One would imagine some of these loyalists of the genre probably found time to get to the cinema, but the action is happening at this conference ...connections being made, authors giving lectures or reading from their books and more. Visual Radio interviewed Rick Wilbur, editor of the book Future Media along with the fellow who wrote the foreword, Paul Levinson, talking about his new book New New Media (not to be confused with Future Media, of course). We also interview Canadian Jennifer Wylie, author of Sweet Light, her editor, Sean Hayden - who is author of Origins, Vol 1 - a new vampire series, and Marc Vun Kannon who discussed his new book, St. Martin's Moon, about werewolves on a lunar body! Fascinating stuff and eloquent speakers all. Readercon 22 continues the tradition of the Noreascon and the Boskone, legendary conventions that provide for fun and enlightenment...and a way to directly connect with the people who create the magic.

Congratulations my friend, and congratulations to WinCAM for making a tremendous choice for their award.
No one deserves recognition for their tireless commitment to public access television over these many years more than you than you.
You do it the "right way." No B.S. just straight from the heart and back to the community.
Funny how that concept gets corrupted in other communities. Cheers! Enjoy the holidays!

Matt O'Connor hosts The Rehearsal Space, a program taped in Stoneham in the earlier 2000's featuring the Medford band THE DEAL along with name artists. When Matt was a Medford resident he attempted to get his show aired on TV 3. TV3's self-appointed president Frank Pilleri refused to respond to Matt. Keep in mind, Mr. O'Connor and the band The Deal, two separate Medford entities, had no other interaction with TV 3 Medford. They were simply ignored for no reason at all. So much for the "Outreach" component of the Agreement TV 3 has with the City of Medford
The Honorable Judge Marie O. Jackson-Thompson (retired) found that TV 3 Medford is running a private access station. This is a violation of the Agreement with the City of Medford (and, in turn, the City's Agreement with Comcast) which is something Visual Radio host and 31 year public access veteran Joe Viglione is fighting for: the rights of the Comcast subscribers and real Free Speech in the City of Medford.
As Producer of the Year in a neighboring town, I am determined to replace the entrenched Board of Directors with fresh eyes, clean hands and an efficient intellectual property attorney who will work to disinfect the Copyright violations and Free Speech abuses in the city of Medford, Massachusetts which abound due to the negligence of the issuing authority, Michael J. McGlynn, the long-toothed Mayor of Medford.
Dear friends:
I am deeply honored to have received the WinCAM 2010 PRODUCER OF THE YEAR award.
An official statement will be sent to the media, but I wanted Medford residents to know that our neighboring town has been most helpful to us in allowing me to tape and air a show on the Green Line featuring Dr. Wood and Carolyn Rosen, weekly broadcasts with Johnny Byers talking sports, news reports from Jim Morse and an author coming in this week thanks to the efforts of Joanne Codi. Along with A-list guests like Tommy James of The Shondells, film criticLeonard Maltin, Variety Editor Bob Hofler, Michael Moore, The Dictators' Andy Shernoff and many others we've produced historical programming (with Harlow Giles Unger) as well as local politician Michael Day and so many others.
As I personally told Mayor McGlynn at a press conference this year, we have resources for Medford residents to tape and edit vital programming that can be aired on the Government Channel in Medford
For residents interested in what is going on next door in Winchester check out this press release on Patch.com
It is great to know that one can be creative in a supportive environment - and it is something that I wish for all Medford residents. Sincerely,
Joe Viglione 2010 PRODUCER OF THE YEAR in Winchester

Assistant Station Manager Joe LaRocca hands Joe Viglione his award on Friday night,December 10, 2010 at Winchester Community Access & Media.

Q U O T E S Bill Press on Visual Radio-Television
"...Joe Viglione, the King of Mass. cable - tv!"
Bill Press, MSNBC commentator author of Dutton Press book BUSH MUST GO 7/26/04 Cambridge, Mass. http://www.billpress.com
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
Joe Viglione of Medford was just 15 years old in 1969 when he produced his first issue of Varulven, a fan magazine featuring interviews and film and music reviews. A collector of 8mm science fiction and fantasy films, Viglione was also an aspiring filmmaker and musician whose original songs first aired on WBCN-FM when he was 17.
