Deep Dish Rocks!
So when you work in TV Programming, you get really excited when you have repeat producers doing amazing stuff. Deep Dish T.V., the first public access TV Satellite Network is a great example. They have been covering events, promoting radical programs, producing great documentaries, and working hard to cover the most pressing issues the U.S. is facing around the world. Their Shocking and Awful series, coverage of the World Tribunal on Iraq, and their short film Fallujah all exemplify the best of activist media! Rock On Deep Dish! Deep Dish's founder DeeDee Halleck is shown in the picture on the side. She's been an incredibly active media activist for decades and is an incredible supporter and critic of independent media at large. You can check out her webblog here.

Deep Dish TV Programs available on the FSTV Video Archive
Please check out the great programs produced by Deep Dish TV on the Free Speech TV Video Archive!!
Deep Dish was the model for Free Speech TV
Deep Dish TV provided the distribution model for the earliest iteration of Free Speech TV. Building on a practice first established by Deep Dish TV in the 1980s, FSTV was first distributed solely on public, educational & government (ie, PEG) cable channels. Whereas Deep Dish sent up discrete series to satellite birds for these stations to downlink, FSTV snail-mailed four hours of programming each week to the PEG stations.
Many of these stations are still carrying FSTV (and Deep Dish!) today, although now they are able to downlink our 24/7 feed from our DISH Network channel 9415. Thanks to Deep Dish TV's inspiration, over 170 PEG stations now carry Free Speech TV programs each week, reaching about 15 million homes. Thank you, Deep Dish & DeeDee!
We look forward to carrying new Deep Dish TV series in the future. Check out their past series at http://www.deepdishtv.org/.
