So many photos. So many ads. So many press releases on actual paper!<\/p>\n<p>NPT and PBS both have a histioy of fascinating and groundbreaking shows. It&#8217;s also full of really gutsy shows not afraid to tackle tough subjects.\u00a0 One of the most notable in the gutsy-department was 1972&#8217;s <em>VD Blues<\/em>, a one-hour PBS special-of-the-week intended to raise awareness about venereal disease. Aimed at younger viewers, PBS stations across the nation, included here at NPT (then WDCN) answered over 225,000 telephone calls\u00a0 from viewers seeking VD info. It won an Emmy for \u201cSpecial Classification of Outstanding Program Achievements.\u201d <em>Time Magazine<\/em> called it the \u201cmost venturesome single show\u201d of 1972. <em>Newsweek<\/em> said it was \u201cone of the most daring experiments yet in broadcasting,\u201d and <em>Saturday Review<\/em> declared it as \u201cone of the most significant events in the history of television as a medium for education, enlightenment and raised consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show was aimed to confront the reality of VD &#8212; its tagline was &#8220;time for a show down&#8221; &#8212; in an entertaining way. The show included, according to the release (pasted below), &#8220;original dramatic sketches, an unpublished <strong>Woody Guthrie<\/strong> song, sung by son <strong>Arlo<\/strong>; and a documentary segment filmed in Harlem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dick Cavett<\/strong> hosted, and brought the humor. &#8220;The English called it the French disease; the Germans called it the Polish disease; the French called it the Spanish disease,&#8221; Cavett said in the show. &#8220;Now let&#8217;s look at what I call &#8220;Johnny Carson&#8217;s disease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stations throughout the nation held their own phone bank shows before and after the program. Ours was titled <em>VD Blues: Nashville Sound<\/em>, which sounds really bad in hindsight, and probably didn&#8217;t sound any better back then. But what can you really do with a title like that? <em>VD Blues: Woke up this Morning<\/em>, maybe? The follow-up shows were staffed by local doctors and professionals and hosted by local celebrities .\u00a0 For WDCN, we chose then-Miss Black Tennessee <strong>Oprah Winfrey<\/strong>. Though as the scanned press release below indicates,\u00a0 we incorrectly spelled her name \u201cOpra Winfree.&#8221; We hope she&#8217;s forgiven us for that. If you think about it, it&#8217;s really a prescient moment in her career. As a staffer here pointed out, it&#8217;s the kind of show Oprah would have no problem hosting again today, as she&#8217;s made a career out of talking honestly about tough topics.<\/p>\n<p>The show was so important to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), that it held a &#8220;CPB Special Venereal Disease Program Competition.&#8221; We entered, but lost.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the press release below, and an incorrect newspaper ad with the day crossed out.\u00a0 The show was on a Thursday, not a Monday. With no delete button back then, you just crossed it out, I guess.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5974\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5974\" style=\"width: 352px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2adVD003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5974\" title=\"VD Blues Ad\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2adVD003.jpg\" alt=\"VD Blues Ad\" width=\"352\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2adVD003.jpg 352w, https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2adVD003-183x300.jpg 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Newspaper Ad Slick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5975\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5975\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg1001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5975 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"VD Blues Press Release Page One\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg1001.jpg\" alt=\"VD Blues Press Release Page One\" width=\"490\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg1001.jpg 612w, https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg1001-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Press Release for &quot;VD Blues and WDCN Follow-Up Program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5976\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5976\" style=\"width: 486px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg2002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5976 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"VD Blues Press Release Page Two\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg2002.jpg\" alt=\"VD Blues Press Release Page Two\" width=\"486\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg2002.jpg 608w, https:\/\/blogs.wnpt.org\/mediaupdate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/wdcn2pg2002-243x300.jpg 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Page 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We continue to have a blast here as we cull through the archives in preparation for our 50th Anniversary this year.
