Apologies for duplicate messages.
This week the Regional Educational Technology Network (RETN), the
Center for Research on Vermont's public-access television partner, will
premiere the program "A Grain of Salt: Slavery in Vermont's Colonial
and Early Statehood Eras" by Raymond Zirblis,
Adjunct, History, Norwich University.
The program, which has a runtime of one hour and forty-two minutes, can
be
viewed on
Comcast Cable on Channel 16 (both North and South) as follows:
Wednesday, March 4, 2009, at 8 P.M.
- repeats
at midnight
Thursday, March 5, 2009, at 11 A.M.
The program was originally presented as #217 in the Center's
ongoing
Research-in-Progress Seminar Series on February 5, 2009. For a
detailed
description, please visit the Center's Web site at <www.uvm.edu/~crvt>.
If you live outside of the RETN broadcast
area
(see below for a list of
the communities that RETN serves), you may view this and other recent
Center
videos on demand. To do this, point your browser at <www.retn.org>
and click on /Center for Research on Vermont/ on the lefthand column. A
menu will appear featuring a number of Center programs. You may also
select the stream quality that best suits your
browser (fastest to slowest: Broadband Video, Dial-Up Video, and
Audio Only).
In addition to the Webstreaming option, videotapes of many Center
programs may be
borrowed from
the Center's Video Library in DVD and VHS formats upon request. Please
visit our Web site at
<www.uvm.edu/~crvt>
and click on Video Library on the righthand column for more information
about the programs that are available.
Special note: The Center's partnership with RETN has
been of inestimable value to us since we began it in 1996. Not only do
we have permanent, tangible, and archivable records of Center programs,
but this programming also has the potential to reach viewers far beyond
the number of audience members who attend the live presentations,
including some 30,000 households in the Greater Burlington area who
subscribe to Comcast. Now, through the
technology of video on demand, Center programming
has become available to virtually all computer households that are
connected to the World Wide Web on a 24/7 basis.
Please take a moment to contact RETN (<[log in to unmask]>
or 802-654-7980) to let them know that you
appreciate their continuing commitment to broadcasting scholarship and
research on topics of importance to Vermont and Vermonters. Thank you!
For more information about RETN's schedule,
please visit

Essex Junction, Williston, and Winooski) and RETN South (Comcast
