I'd like to request that you create a type of clip. I sometimes have bad reception. Our goal is to inspire our viewers into seeing more live performances. If people knew what was coming up they would only watch those disciplines with which they were familiar, and perhaps never try anything new.
Surprise is an important part of our format.
CAS is completely funded by the Lloyd E. Rigler - Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation, a major arts supporter for over 25 years, which has created CAS to inspire viewers to go out and see live performances in their own communities, and so help to build a future audience for the arts. Most of our clips come from the record companies who have graciously given us permission to air the clips, at no cost, and with waivers from the unions, in an effort to aid us with our public service goal of creating a new audience for the arts, provided we show no advertising, do not sell the clips, or alter them in any way. Other sources include public and private archives, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress. I'd like to request that you create a type of clip. We don't actually produce anything.
