Hello sarah,
At the occasion of vbi in rotterdam, Rachel Baker worked on a compilation of
tv projects - Unscheduled TV - which lists many of the interesting projects
you mention. -> http://www.ambienttv.net/content/?q=unscheduledtv
It seems to me that when the internet opened up as mass media and accessible
without hurdles comparable to those frequency licences, (which kept
non-for-profit tv successfully insignificant), many people, who were
involved in the struggle for open channels moved on and focussed their
efforts (and hopes) on the internet. Maybe this is why the tv 'media space'
is still the most controlled public space, no matter if we look at broadcast
as platform, model, art media,...
Best, manu
Btw, I remember many years ago, -brainstorming for a pirate tv project on
Tottenham court road-, we came across a legal document saying one could get
15 years sentence for tv piracy ... Quite 'impressive' compared to sentences
involving violence....
