Access TV in Austin was highly popular, sometimes ranking second in local ratings after UT football.
Because that's what Access TV in its heyday on basic cable in Austin. Everybody watched it. It was super popular. Yeah, so he's mentioned that he's been on air for 30 years today, and he starts reflecting sort of on the local Access days. And, of course, you always wanted a show at 6, 7, 8 at night. We combine hour-long shows. You get an hour a couple times a week. We combine them together, do three, four, five-hour blocks, do special shows. And it would show up in the ratings, the local ratings. Sometimes my show showed up one time number two in the ratings after UT football. That was quite the freak out in the newspapers at the time wrote about it.
