WCNY-TV, Black on Black Page 2. Black on Black will also provide a cultural showcase for: Negro artists, craftsmen, journalists, and others. Charles Anderson, who is education director for the Syracuse Urban League, has been given release time to produce the Black on Black series, as well as acting as host. A radio-television graduate, Anderson has considerable experience in producing television informatior programs in the U.S. and Africa. "To add diversity to the series, black presidents and/or directors of community organizations represen¬ ting a broad cross section of black opinion, will be constantly sought out for guest editorials and appearances," Anderson said. "Our series will seek to present to the over-all public the problems, aspirations, objectives and accomplishments which predominate in the black commun¬ ity," he said. To accomplish its multiple purpose, Black on Black is designed as a magazine format series with some continuing elements. It will feature a regular host with local guests, artists, and officials as well as occasional national and international visitors. As often as possible, interviews and features are to be filmed on location in the Negro neighborhoods using the station*s mobile unit or film crews. Occasionally, a locally produced documentary may be shown to dramatize or illustrate subjects or issues under consideration. Negro leaders, journalists, and spokesmen representing a broad cross section of black opinion will be constantly sought for guest commentaries appropriate to local events, stimulating community dis¬ cussion and deliberation. Whatever the focus, Black on Black programs will tend to stress the positive, the constructive; seeking the reasonable solution to existing conditions; improved communications between the black minority and white majority; substitution of fact and informed opinion for fiction and propaganda; to expose rumors, misinformation and misunder¬ standings; the creation and development of leadership qualities and "legitimization" of the "natural" neighborhood leader; and providing for the purposeful involvement of black people behind and in front of Black on Black cameras. Thomas Petry, President and General Manager of WCNY-TV, pointed out that while many other ETV stations around the country had already undertaken similar programming, he wanted to acknowledge that the Channel 24 staff working together with almost every neighborhood and institutional group dealing with human relations and urban problems, had been preparing the new series for almost two years. -MORE-
