I'd like to thank the intrepid souls who came attended last night's test of the Livestream channel. I do believe they enjoyed the program. A few glitches but, overall, Livestream performed great. With that in mind, please remember that this Saturday, 10:00 P.M., there will be a re-run of Movie Madness Episode 2, featuring the film Battle Beyond the Sun. If you haven't seen it yet, then it's a new broadcast for you.

Looking toward the future, in May I will be really kicking off the service. May 18th and 22nd, I will show a short program called "A Man Called Charlie." Tramp Studios is named in honor of Charlie Chaplin's character, the Tramp. Therefore, to really launch the Internet TV service of Tramp Studios, what could be more fitting than a program of four Charlie Chaplin short films? Join us, May 18th and 22nd, 7:00 P.M. Central Time for A Man Called Charlie.

The week after that, May 25th, I will start running my film "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Saga of WWII." The 25th is tentatively scheduled for 7 PM Central Time. There will be a repeat that week, but I would like to work out a time where some friends of mine in Europe would find it easier to attend. More on that as we get closer to the actual date.

After BTTS, I will be showing my film "Please Stand By: The Invention of Television." Please Stand By doesn't concern itself with television shows and how they started. Please Stand By is about how the physical television set was invented, who was the inventor and how the TV set entered into our homes. Please Stand By covers the time from the day that it was first noticed that light energy could change the natural resistance of certain metals till when NBC hired Milton Berle to host the Texaco Star Theater.

In August, I'll be presenting my two Atomic Government Films on two dates. Want to know what dates? Look it up. You can find the dates on Google. Look over Hiroshima if nothing else...

November 11th will see a repeat of my program "Over There: Remembering World War One."

The new season of Movie Madness will kick off the first weekend of October with more of your favorite bad movies and even worse jokes.
