Show Notes Episode 496: It's Not Tv, It's The Green Channel This week Host Dave Bledsoe got hammered and spent four hours trying to explain to a bartender how you could see boobs in TV  static when he was a kid. (Again.) On the show this week we take a look at how boobs and sports changed television forever, we talk about the birth of HBO! Along the way we learn that Dave''s grandparents were too poor to afford more than one television station. (We think?) Then we dive into the history of paying to watch something you can get over the air for free. (Yay Capitalism!) Then we meet a man with a dream, a dream to get people to pay to watch television! We follow his struggling launch of HBO in Wilkes Barre PA. (Scranton was too good for it!) Then we explain how cursing, bare breasts and boxing created a channel that would go on to change how Americans watched and thought about television.  (For the good, for a change!) Our Sponsor this week is Bulg Box, it's like Brit Box but for Bulgarian television! We open the show with the HBO intro and close with KarlisMusik who is feeling being green..

Cianne Fragione (b. 1952) is a multidisciplinary artist. With roots in the San Francisco Bay Area Beat and Funk art milieus, she has developed her own process-oriented artistic vocabulary over the past four decades that crosses boundaries between abstract painting and sculpture, and between object and image. A striking combination of oil paint, mixed-media materials, found objects, and textiles characterizes her signature style. Each piece, whether two- or three-dimensional, is built slowly over lengthy periods, becoming a dense synthesis of influences and personal perspectives, including mid-century gestural abstraction and the physical fluency of her early training as a professional dancer. While a sense of space and movement dominates her two-dimensional works, her assemblage pieces tend to be denser and more corporeal. Her most recent works respond to two collections of poems by Italian poet and writer Eugenio Montale: Mediterraneo and Ossi di Seppia.   Fragione has exhibited extensively in solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally, including at St. Mary's College Museum of Art, Moraga, CA; Georgetown College, KY; Anya and Andrew Shiva Gallery, New York, NY; American University Museum, Washington, D.C.; John D. Calandra Italian American Institute of Queens College, CUNY, New York, NY; Associazione di Museo D'Arte Contemporaneo Italiano, Catanzaro, Italy; Harmony Hall Regional Center, Washington, MD; University of Scranton Art Museum, Scranton, PA; The Textile Museum, Washington, D.C.; Art in Embassies, Geneva, Sofia, Bulgaria, and Vilnius, Lithuania; Indianapolis Art Center, IN; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Gallery, CA.   Her works are held in numerous public collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art MD; DC Commission Art Bank Collection; Art in Embassies Permanent Collection, U.S. State Department, Guadalajara, Mexico; St. Mary's College Museum of Art, CA; Italian American Museum, D.C; Department of Special Collections, Cecil H. Green Library, Stanford University, CA; Comune di Monasterace, Calabria, IT; among other museum and private collections.   Motetti: Flowers Grow/ Salty Breath, 2024, oil-based paint, pigment, walnut and black ink, graphite, oil pencils,on paper, 42.5 x 35 in (107.95 x 88.9 cm), Image by Martin Seck Bundles: Seacoasts / Among Fragrances / Winds / Decoy, 2024, oil-based paint, pigment, string, lace, fishing lures, and bone on canvas panel, 8 x 5 x 2 in (20.3 x 12.7 x 5.1 cm), Image by Martin Seck The Clouds Travel like White Handkerchiefs of Goodbye, 2020 oil-based pigment, collage, graphite, on mylar 54 x 65 in (137.16 x 165.1 cm) Image by Martin Seck

It's domestic opening day in Major League Baseball, combining finances as a newly married couple and the Chili's restaurant chain is opening a new location in Scranton, Pennsylvania that celebrates the iconic sitcom The Office.

I called out Pat McAfee for him and his staff's comments on the Colorado State/Maryland travel-gate game. An Australian couple was banging in the shallows in the Gold Coast in front of onlookers. Then, the man did something straight out of Vegas. Downtown Denver could be getting a gondola system to help clean up the area. What states are the friendliest and the not so friendly? Chili's is opening a ‘Office' (tv show) themed version of their restaurant in Scranton. Russell Wilson signs with the Giants… They also signed Jaimies Winston. Who should start? Shedeur Sanders is off the Giants' board… hopefully. So Titans, Jets, Steelers, or Raiders will draft him.

Dumbline is in the early 2000s in Scranton, Pennsylvania. A quiet town, a devoted fan, and a plan that made absolutely no sense.

The office of the papacy is not mandated in Scripture. In fact, the pope of Luther's day was demanding obedience to the Church, not by a mandate from the Word of God, but by the power of his position. Luther, on the other hand, proclaimed the unity we have in the one name of Christ. We are united in His name through doctrine, faith, sacraments, prayer, and mercy to others. To grant any person or object the same or greater authority than Christ Himself is the definition of idolatry and is unacceptable in the Church. Christ is the head of the Church. We submit to Him and Him alone! Rev. John Zimmerman, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Scranton, PA and St. John Lutheran Church, Pittson, PA, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to discuss the Papacy. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.

The heartbeat of southwest North Dakota pulses through the iconic white grain elevators of the Scranton Equity Exchange. For 110 years, this cooperative has adapted, evolved, and expanded to remain the cornerstone of its community—a testament to rural resilience in an ever-changing agricultural landscape.General Manager Ben Hetzel takes us behind the scenes of this remarkable operation that stretches far beyond a typical grain elevator. From its robust feed plant that once defined the company to its modern grocery store, C-stores, lumber yard, and truck shop, the Scranton Equity embodies the diverse needs of the communities it serves. What truly sets this cooperative apart is its forward-thinking approach to agricultural services, especially evident in its recently completed 24,000-ton fertilizer storage facility.The fertilizer plant represents a quantum leap from the days of 50-pound bags of Elephant Brand fertilizer unloaded manually from rail cars. Today's automated system allows for precision blending in seconds, delivering higher quality products with greater efficiency. This forward-thinking investment allows the cooperative to ship fertilizer as far as the Canadian border and deep into Montana, turning Scranton into a hub for agricultural inputs across the Northern Plains.Looking ahead, the horizon of Scranton is set to change again with plans for a new slip elevator and additional dump pits designed to improve traffic flow and accommodate the increasingly diverse crop mix grown in southwest North Dakota. From traditional wheat and durum to newer crops like corn, canola, and pulses, the cooperative continues to evolve with its producer-members.What makes the story of Scranton Equity particularly compelling is how it balances technological advancement with community service—maintaining vital services like its beloved bakery and meat department while investing in cutting-edge agricultural technology. It's a formula that has sustained this cooperative for over a century and positions it for generations to come. Discover how rural businesses can thrive by embracing change while honoring their community roots.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

A rural county’s decision to spend opioid settlement funds on child welfare worker salaries has spurred debate. Legislators and healthcare providers held a town hall in Scranton to raise awareness of potential threats to Medicaid and Medicare during Donald Trump’s second term. Pittsburgh’s first bar to exclusively air women’s sports is opening this month. Gov. Josh Shapiro cautioned that Trump administration efforts to dismantle the Department of Education could “crush” Pennsylvania schools. A newly released, heavily redacted affidavit shows Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry's involvement in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is eliminating more than $1 billion for programs that help food banks and schools buy from local farmers. A bite-sized nuclear future takes shape in Pittsburgh.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Her  childhood home in Scranton, Pennsylvania was old—really old. Steeped in the area's history of coal mining, iron ore, and the unspoken tragedies of generations past, her family house held secrets that emerged once the lights went out. No matter how many prayers were whispered, strange noises filled her nights—footsteps stopping at the top of the stairs, a bizarre humming that slowed the world around her, and an unsettling presence no one could explain away. Years later, her brother heard a phantom voice calling him by his full name to come upstairs. Was it the spirit of someone left behind by Scranton's challenging past… or something darker?   If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

Joe Biden will wrap up over 50 years of public service when his presidential term ends later this month. How we define the administrations of former presidents often takes time.

KCRW spends the full hour reflecting on Biden's domestic and foreign policy record.
