History

1995–1999

Free Speech TV is an outgrowth of three projects that attempted to establish wider dissemination of progressive perspectives on television: , a landmark television series seen on public television and cable; The Channel, a network of seven full-time cable channels dedicated to independent media; and the part-time Free Speech TV Program Service, launched in 1995 as an innovative approach to curating and distributing independent media to a distribution network of community access cable stations. Public television stations carried some Free Speech TV's special series, such as ''Just Solutions: Campaigning for Human Right''. The network's pioneering efforts in streaming media online won it accolades such as a 1998 Streamers Award and 1999

Webby Award The Webby Awards are awards for excellence on the Internet presented annually by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a judging body composed of over two thousand industry experts and technology innovators. Categories include ...
