Milwaukee Gay/Lesbian Cable Network Records: Text Corpus of AV Materials

Abstract

The Milwaukee Gay/Lesbian Cable Network (MGLCN) collection includes records dating from 1987 to 1994. MGLCN was established by a group of individuals who wanted to produce regular programming on local gay and lesbian issues using the newly available facilities of MATA (Milwaukee Access Telecommunications Authority) Community Media. MGLCN produced Tri-Cable Tonight, a monthly news and entertainment program; the New Tri-Cable Tonight, a panel discussion program; and Yellow on Thursday, a comedy show featuring shorts, skits, and parodies. This text corpus is derived from those AV materials. The full finding aid for the MGLCN records can be found here: http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/wiarchives.uw-mil-uwmmss0206
