How about a debate among those seeking to enter City Council - Special Election District 3

Producers and PCTV top administrators:

How about if you all -- or one of you -- schedule a debate among the candidates for the special election (date yet unknown) for Pittsburgh City Council district 3. The seat is to open at the first of the year, 2006, as Gene Ricciardi is leaving his post to be a DJ. So, a special election will be called. It might be as soon as mid-Feb, but as late at mid-March.

This special election does not give a lot of lead time.

Plus, I'm a candidate (Mark Rauterkus), as is Bruce Krane -- and he is IN the race too. So, this might be a show he'd do, as well, but we're both going to be in the hot seat, not the producers seat.

So, it looks like we need someone to step up and do a show -- or two -- on this election. Are there any takers out there? If so, I'd be happy to give you the insights. Call 412 298 3432 or email me: Mark -at- Rauterkus.com

for the Producers Blog

Hi Fellow do-it-yourself media makers,

PCTV is a vital part of our community. I want to make it more and more important to the overall landscape of our community. And, I'm now engaged in a city council race -- so -- after I'm elected I can do something about our shared goals and dreams.

In an ideal way -- I'd like to hear about how PCTV could be -- should be -- and would be if there was more support for those efforts from City Council.

Sky is the limit.

And, I've got a stub of a wiki page devoted to this type of discussion at my Platform.For-Pgh.org site.

Let me know how to proceed -- just by posting it there yourself.

Horror Show Host Past and Present Airing now.

Horror Show Host Past and Present is on this month.

Horror Show Host Past And Present - With Horror Host Stephen, Professor Emcee Square & Stiffy The Dead Clown.

We had a great time doing this live call in show, but I need to correct one flaw. The credits said I wrote the show in truth all of us did. It was ad libbed and completely unrehearsed so all of us deserve credit for the show. It was really improvisation and I thought we did ok with that format. I also wish to thank Steve, Professor Emcee Square and Stiffy The Dead Clown for a wonderful show.

Please remember that the live call in show was on August-24-2005. No calls please until the next live show we do.

Thank you for watching.

A few changes.

Well, you can see I have changed a few things and put a few new links in. I made the change because the colors of the old template made it a bit hard to read.

I put the links to the House and Senate because I feel as Americans and producers it is our duty and right to keep an eye on the laws and budgets our leaders in Congress pass. It is you and me who must keep our leaders on the right path if we want better jobs tell the House and Senate if we want better healthcare tell them. Don't forget that if you say nothing to our leaders then they will not care about our needs and only their own.

I also put a counter here that way we will see how many people have visited us.

My fellow producers it is vital that you make post about your shows on this blog and when you need help on the set list that information here. Remember without you there is no Pittsburgh Producers and the blog will be a useless tool without you.

If you don't know how to post write to me and I'll do my best to get your post up as soon as possible.

actoraj@torcasomedia.com or actoraj2@yahoo.com will reach me, so please start posting here we need your input.

Thank you.

Note: I am not yet sure how to remove the adds in the sidebar but having them there could help us get more people to learn about our blog. If you don't like them there please let me know remember this blog belongs to all of us.

Monday's show is Let Them Decide.

Well, Monday's Humanity Matters show and every Monday in August at 8:00 PM on PCTV21 Will be on not underestimating people or our children.

We should never tell a child that they can't achieve a dream. If a child wants to grow up and be a scientist, engineer, actor, attorney, doctor, fireman or firewoman, police officer, stockbroker or thousands of other careers, but test scores show that a child or any person can't do that career we should not tell them they can't. We should tell them it will be very difficult and you will need to study and work very hard. But, we should never say you can't achieve it.

We must not hurt the emotional well being of a child in the Formulative years nor can we or any test or series of test know what a child or a person can achieve with hard work. While it is true the test may be correct we must also understand that when people take test many times they don't do their best because they are nervous.

How many test did you make mistakes on because of nerves when in reality you knew the answers? Let us remember also just because you don't have the needed knowledge at that point in your life it does not mean you can't learn it.

It is for this reason I say to you let them decide. That show will air on PCTV21 this Monday August-1-2005 at 8:00 PM. Please watch it if you can.

Sometimes standing up for one makes you a leader of many. Humanity does matter!

Please watch Humanity Matters Monday's at eight pm on PCTV21 In Pittsburgh PA.

"Courting Controversy". This interview based show can be very compelling, particularly due to the consistent quality of the guests.

"Courting Controversy" will not be in a series format for the new season so please consult the program guide for showings.

Upcoming productions will include such "in your face" guests as "The Raging Grannies" from the Thomas Merton Center and Human Rights Attorney Dan Kovalik, who makes the "grab you in the gut" argument that YOUR TAX DOLLAR ACTUALLY SUPPORTING GLOBAL TERRORISM!

If anyone wishes to be a recipient part of my political rants and incantations mail me @ bkrane@fyi.net.

PSA may be shown.

Come see me on at the Rex and I may even be on the big screen.
