| Brooklyn Boy Makes Good in Japan will be broadcast at 3:30 PM today
New York time on the Sam Sloan Show. This is a repeat of the show last
week. The reason for the repeat is that BCAT made an error last week
and broadcast my show on Channel 2 instead of Channel 1. Therefore,
my viewers missed it.
In addition, I had a problem at the New York Go Club last week and
could not complete the GO Video that was supposed to be shown this
week.
The show being shown today at 3:30 New York Time has been edited and
vastly improved I believe. It can be seen on the Internet at
http://www.bcat.tv/bcat/ in streaming video by clicking on Box 1,
which is the box for channels 34 and 67.
Among the changes I took out some serious glitches and mistakes. The
worst one came when I said: The Time is nearly up so tune in next
week. I said this because the program manager had signaled me to wind
it up I thought, but actually I had 15 minutes left. Another time,
Mario stopped talking because he thought something was going on as I
was looking out of the room.
I have cut out all these errors, shortening the show slightly and best
of all I have changed the music. I kicked out Madame Butterfly and
replaced it with Sakura, Sakura, the famous Japanese Cherry Blossom
song, which is practically the national anthem of Japan.
I believe that this will be a very good and much improved show.
I especially need to thank Carlos Pareja. He is the new education and
Training Manager at BCAT and he was the teacher in my editing class.
He also helped with the editing of this show, especially since some of
the editing techniques were far beyond my capability, so he showed me
how to do it. Carlos previously Worked for the Museum of Television
and Radio at 25 West 52nd Street in New York City before joining BCAT.
Next week, I will be broadcasting an instructional show about the
games of go and shogi. Some professional strength go players will be
there to rescue me in case of emergency.
Brooklyn Community Access Television to pleased to bring you a
broadcast of "Brooklyn Boy Makes Good in Japan" on Brooklyn Cable TV
at 3:30 PM EST on Time Warner Channel 34 and on Cablevision Channel
67. It can also be seen on the Internet at http://www.bcat.tv/bcat/ in
streaming video at those times by clicking on Box 1, which is the box
for channels 34 and 67.
This is the true life story of a boy who grew up in the ghetto in the
Bedford Stuyvesant Section of Brooklyn, who joined the Army and who in
1946 became one of the first occupation soldiers stationed in post-war
Japan. He became completely fluent in the Japanese Language and was
assigned to interrogate Japanese Prisoners of War. He eventually
became a corporate mogul and a multi-gazillionaire and such a threat
to Japanese hegemony that after 39 years in Japan they arrested and
deported him back to Brooklyn where he started, leaving behind his
vast collection of concubines and children in Japan.
