Greetings from London,

Many thanks for all of the posted reports and the emails/snail mails received for the 'Before they were famous' programmes on Channel Z.
It makes putting it together all worth while.

We've heard from Larry over at WBCQ and he's going to re-broadcast the shows on Area 51.
Saturday night's 0200 on 5110 and 7490.
Apparently, the first show was aired last night, but there's still another three to go.

Cheers
