Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Horton, Bill Claypoole, Michael Pearson Brown, Karen Ponton, Jean Relation A related resource THIRD SIDE Producers: Kevin Kerdash, Larry Kennedy, David Vanderbilt, Michelle Michaels On Screen Anchors: Michelle Michaels and John Moore Regular Contributor: Jim Cooney Format: 1 hour magazine show with national emphasis, news and entertainment about the gay community. The Third Side ran six monthly episodes from January through June of 1991. It was produced in the home of Larry Kennedy and Kevin Kerdash for the local public access channel DCTV, then aired in Washington, DC; Sacramento, California; Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; and Portland, Oregon. Featured guests included Larry Kramer, Jon Hinson, The Flirtations, Craig Dean and Patrick Gill, and Rob Eichberg. One segment featured Jason Dilly's Project Face to Face, which was part of the Smithsonian Institution's Experimental Gallery. Visitors viewed life mask of people with aids and listened to tapes of that person speaking about their life. The Smithsonian asked to use this segment as part of that exhibit, where it was screened hourly for a month. That segment is now a permanent part of the Smithsonian's collection. Included is a flyer that was used to promote the show at the 1991 Gay Pride Day. It was there that Kevin and Larry realized that most of DC was not yet wired for cable, and even those who knew of the show could not get it. It was this plus difficulty getting regular help with the show that made them decide to stop production. To this day Kevin and Larry are very proud with what they accomplished with its brief history. GAY FAIRFAX / GAY SPECTRUM The producers of Gay Fairfax changed its name to Gay Spectrum in the fall of 1993 when the FLGCA Board of Directors refused to allow other financial sponsors of the program. Already Executive Producer Steve Futch had entered into an agreement with the Lambda Rising bookstore for financial support and this was acknowledged in an announcement after the final credits. The new program was exactly the same in format and content with a new theme and opening graphics. The new Gay Spectrum was co-hosted by Eric Randall (a pseudonym for Randy Leverette) and Angela Judy. Crewmembers (many from Gay Fairfax) included Rob Switala, Dave Johnson, Michael Claypoole, Clark Chesser, Michael Fry, Charles Roberts, Jean Ponton, Gail Goodfriend, and others. New reporters included Melissa Anderson, Rich Kazinski, Rick Barton, and Bob Connelly. Memorable highlights included an entire program devoted to the D.C. AIDSWalk '94 including interviews with Second Lady Tipper Gore and D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and other interviews with Congressman Gerry Studds and White House Aide George Stephanopolous at the annual Human Rights Campaign Dinner. The show began to loose steam when a very overworked Steve Futch left the show in early 1996. Rob Switala and Michael Claypoole stepped in as co-producers quickly changed the frequency from a weekly to a monthly series. Soon Randy Leverette left the show to take a job with the Home Box Office (HBO) in New York. The last four episodes were co-hosted by Bob Connelly and Angela Judy during the summer of 1996. But enthusiasm for the show had begun to wane, and the Gay Spectrum left the air for good just as Gay News Network was becoming a success.

Title A name given to the resource One in 10 People [Digitized Recordings] Description An account of the resource Episodes and outtakes of the cable access show have been digitized. Abstract A summary of the resource. One in 10 People was an hour long lesbian and gay magazine-format show that was launched by Gay Fairfax veteran Karen (she now prefers Pearson) Brown in 1992. The show was taped at the same FCAC studio facilities as Gay Fairfax. As the hosts said each show in the intro, One in 10 People focused on "personalities, lifestyles, and arts & entertainment of interest to the gay community." The show was produced by Pearson and a core of about 25 dedicated crew -- some Gay Fairfax crewmembers like Anna Kramer, Mary Dodd, and Kevin Harney and others worked on both shows. One in 10 People had a roster of volunteers that grew to over 250 people during its two years in production. During the show's run, it garnered numerous accolades including a CableAce nomination, a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Cable Production, nine FCAC Telly awards, six Hometown Video Awards, and a finalist placement for Excellence in Local Television from the American Film Institute's Robert M. Bennett Awards. The show was aired on more than 35 stations nationally, and although the show wrapped up production officially in 1995, it was rerun on stations across the country until 1998, and some segments can still be seen today on the show's spin off, Gay News Network.
