Description

September 20 Toronto "Gay News and Views," a thirteen-week series of half-hour programs produced by the Gay TV Collective, began broadcasting on Rogers, Metro, and Maclean-Hunter cable television channels. Each program consisted of a seven-minute news segment, interviews and discussions with members of the gay community, entertainment by gay artists, and a community calendar. Viewer complaints forced Maclean-Hunter to reschedule the show to a later time slot. Management at Rogers attempted to cancel its broadcast of the show in September 1977, but later re-evaluated its position. (See also May 26, 1978.)
