The Postmodern Turn - Steven Best, Douglas Kellner. Alternative Views. Alternative Views was one of the longest running Public-access television 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.[1] They also pioneered an innovative syndication system that placed the program in almost 80 television markets around the country.
Audience share[edit] Viewership was on a par with the local PBS station. Two surveys, one undertaken by the cable company, and another commissioned by it, indicate that from 20,000 to 30,000 Austin viewers watched Alternative Views each week. Douglas Kellner, George F.

In 2009, I prepared for publication my new book with Blackwell publishers Cinema Wars: Hollywood Film and Politics in the Bush/Cheney Era which engages film and politics in the 2000s and the transition from the Bush/Cheney regimes to the Obama era.
