Talent Resume: "Grease" Frenchy Manchester, TN "The Odd Couple" Gwendolyn Manchester, TN "Footloose" Featured Dancer Manchester, TN |
Several titles have migrated from the small screen to the big, inspiring such movies as "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "Final Fantasy Now the TV has something else to show them: a fast-growing, 24-hour cable channel brimming with video game news, reviews and profiles of the rock stars of their world: game creators Video Game Channel Hopes to Grow Stronger Jun 12, 2:01 PM EST For years, video game players have hunched in front of flickering television sets, blasting asteroids, piloting starships and stealing cars "If you're a cook, you'll still watch the food channel " G4 offers a daily news show called "Pulse," a review segment and even a show detailing the tricks programmed into games â€â€? known as "cheats" â€â€? that let players do things like extend their virtual lives or make bobbleheads of players in a basketball video game One show, "Cinematech," features clips of the slick mini-movies that come in high-end games as introductions or interludes between game levels And Gallay wants less emphasis on male gamers Executives at the nation's largest cable company are banking on the booming popularity of video gaming, which boasts game sales of $10 billion a year and has spawned several magazines "Gaming is becoming mainstream, but you're not bumping into gamers wherever you go yet," said Heather Gallay, 26, of Boston, who posts messages on the G4 site using the handle "ImAGamerGirlie G4 is the first channel launched from scratch by cable giant Comcast Corp com Known as G4, the channel relies on a series of edgy, low-budget shows that mix a flip attitude with glimpses of state-of-the-art game graphics While it has attracted some national advertising accounts, including Honda and Butterfinger in addition to video game commercials, G4's challenge will be to build its cable presence to 30 million homes â€â€? the minimum level needed to hook many major advertisers "But I'm glad it's there There's also a live show whose hosts respond to comments and questions from the Web Another called "G4tv," one of the channel's most popular offerings, is staged on a sparse set with three hosts seated in front of computers, responding to questions and comments posed online Comcast hopes G4 will building interest in online gaming, which in turn could stimulate demand for high-speed cable modem service G4 programs rely on graphics from actual games and commentary by hosts who are mostly experienced gamers "</p > "When you watch G4, it's like entering a community on television," she said " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: G4 Television: http://www There were 308 cable channels at the end of 2002; 21 new choices, including the Tennis Channel and a channel devoted to high-definition programming, were added between 2001 and 2002 " "TV is the perfect medium to reach players and to tell them what is coming up and to create a forum as well The channel has an online component where viewers can chat live and post messages on a bulletin board Gamers have indeed warmed to the channel, but some would like to see fewer reruns " With the rise of digital cable, which will make the once-prophesized 500-channel universe a reality, there's lots of room on the dial for more channels "Gamers are the most educated media consumers out there," said Victor Lucas, the 35-year-old co-host of G4's game review show, "Judgment Day g4tv " It probably was inevitable that games would become the focus of a 24-hour cable channel It targets males between ages 12 and 34 â€â€? a demographic coveted by advertisers of cars, clothes and, of course, video games "If you're a golfer, who I'm sure likes to go outside and hit golf balls, you'll still go inside and watch the Golf Channel," Hirschhorn said , which believes it fills a hot niche and can deliver profits within five years " Charles Hirschhorn, an ex-Disney executive who founded the network, wasn't afraid that gamers would rather handle a joystick than a remote control "I think it has a way to go," she said "That's really what puts you on the map, and then you build from that After a year on the air, the channel is available to 11 million people on cable systems around the country â€â€? far exceeding its first-year goal of 6 million "The key for these networks usually is developing a signature program," said Larry Gerbrandt, chief content officer at Kagan World Media Both features provide viewers with an alternative to the relative isolation of playing most games For G4 to be a true success, it must develop a hit show that will convince other cable networks, and especially satellite TV systems, to carry it Philadelphia-base d Comcast has budgeted $150 million over five years to get G4 to profitability However, with its limited resources, G4 is not as high-tech as many of the games it features Profits from that source could far outweigh G4's advertising revenue, said Matthew Harrigan, an analyst at Janco Partners Nearly seven hours after the musicians had taken the stage, Graham walked out to tell the audience they were too tired to manage another encore We finally said, `OK, Bill, stand on your head and maybe we'll do it But I still love him like a brother But a quarter-century later, much of that spirit of brotherhood, not to mention all the music that was generated there that night, remains very much alive on "The Closing of Winterland To those who were there for the last concert ever held at Winterland, a Hunter Thompson remembrance of the 1960s clearly applies to that night as well: It represented "the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back To send it out in style, flamboyant producer Bill Graham decided to hold an all-night New Year's Eve party starring the Grateful Dead Thus it would be preserved for posterity ' He was almost in tears " Now the rest of the world can learn what all the hoopla was about with the release this month of the two-disc DVD boxed set "The Closing of Winterland When no one would leave, he persuaded them to do one more 'Greatest Grateful Dead' Hits DVD Nov 20, 11:17 PM EST For the last 25 years, all an aging Grateful Dead fan had to do to win the instant admiration of a Gen-X or Gen-Y counterpart was to utter these eight words: "I was there the night they closed Winterland It began as the curtain call for a fabled old hall that was to be torn down after years of playing host to all the top rock 'n' roll acts of its era "He said, `They're going to tear the place apart "Yep," Hart says, laughing again " Whatever provided the energy burst, the band seemed to play on forever, literally to the point of exhaustion '" With festival seating, Winterland could only hold about 5,000 people, but there may have been twice that many there that night, and probably on many other nights It was the end of a long run "That was madness," Hart recalls of inviting Kesey, who brought with him a "Thunder Machine" to supplement the band's drum segment "Yeah, I think we all had taken some psychoactive ingredients that night "He was cheating us "Bill had a way of getting around the fire marshals," Hart says "We made him stand on his head," Hart remembers, laughing heartily " The Grateful Dead gave some 2,500 concerts across three decades â€â€? give or take a couple hundred â€â€? and New Year's Eve 1978 at a decrepit old ice rink in San Francisco is revered as possibly the greatest of them all "Were we high? Well, that's what we did in those days," the drummer, now a teetotaler and fitness fanatic, says sheepishly "He detonated an explosion, and he had gotten our permission to do it but of course he never tried it out He was lucky it didn't blow the building apart " Graham is gone now, killed in a helicopter crash in 1991 " "It was cathartic in a way Kesey died of cancer two years ago, and the Grateful Dead's legendary leader, Jerry Garcia, succumbed to a heart attack in 1995, prompting the group, after much soul-searching, to reform as The Dead Hart credits more than one circumstance for that " The Grateful Dead, who would come on at midnight after a series of opening acts that included the Blues Brothers, would do the rest, playing past dawn and bringing along friends such as the Hells Angels and Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters to liven up the evening It would be recorded in 24-track stereo, state of the art for the time, and the local PBS television station, KQED, would tape the concert as well as broadcast it live as part of a pledge drive Kind of the end of an era," Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart says of that night "He would take the tickets and, instead of ripping them in two, he would carry them back to the box office and sell them again " That was why the producer could always find something for the lucky few who arrived at sold-out shows without tickets but with convincing sob stories " The band played that night with as much energy, passion and precision as anyone had ever seen It was something like 10 times louder and bigger than it was supposed to be and it shook the whole stage |
