Abstract | Television has been less hospitable to the arts in the United States than in other parts of the world, although there have been some efforts to provide the public with some artistic forms of entertainment. If the reason that the arts have been largely neglected on television is its limited channel capacity that democracy must devote to more popular entertainment, then the multichannel cable solves that problem. However, there are still the problems of producing and financing fine arts programing. Some of the ways that these missions can be accomplished include pay-TV, setting up cable as a technical variant of broadcast programing with programs supported by advertisers, and cable programing as a gift to cable subscribers. An obvious source of arts programing which has not been taken advantage of is the university--and it seems clear that the talents of the amateur performer should be used to help reduce the economic problems of production. Finally, there may be something to be said for different approaches to fine arts programs, such as the counterculture's use of videotape. (SH) |
