The Arabic translation of Al Jazeera is “the island.” But now, that island is about to be deep-sixed off the West Coast of New England.... Read more

You may have seen them tacked between “Apartment for Rent” signs and Club Metronome fliers, particularly if you’re given to wandering on the University of Vermont campus. The slightly oversized posters read:

Are you a healthy adult between the ages of 21 and 65? Do you watch at least 3 hours of TV per day on average? Would you like to know how watching TV affects your diet?... Read more

When it comes to producing beauty queens, Vermont isn’t exactly a winner. In the 86-year history of the Miss America competition, no Green Mountain girl has cracked the Top 15. Home viewers got a mere glimpse of Miss Vermont before she was whisked off stage in favor of the semifinalists, most of whom hail from traditional “pageant states” where young women really know how to wield a can of hairspray....

Survey says . . . 85 percent of Burlingtonians have run across the homegrown game show “Survey Says” on Vermont Community Access Media (Channel 15) sometime during its nine-year run. OK, that’s not a real stat. But “We get a lot of feedback,” says 34-year-old Jamie Polli, who produces and hosts this “Family Feud”-style showdown with contestants recruited from local companies....

Sean Buchanan walked out of the 10-course Vermont Fresh Network dinner at the Basin Harbor Club after the quail stuffed with beef heart but before the Sicilian-style rabbit with pappardelle noodles. Was there something wrong with the food?... Read more

BURLINGTON — It’s hard to measure success in the unglamorous and often underappreciated world of public-access television. Chittenden Community Television (CCTV) channels don’t even register in the Nielsen ratings, and no one ever wins Emmys for their gavel-to-gavel coverage of city council meetings and water fluoridation debates....

PARTY POOPERS? Apparently, the Friday night party that kicked off last year’s South End Art Hop was just that: the last. In Hops past, the South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA) and the Burlington Police Department struggled to keep partiers safe and the popular event from ballooning out of control. This year’s solution is to avoid assembling the masses at a single beer-tented bash on Pine Street: Instead, organizers will present “Strut II” — an indie fashion show by local designers — on Friday and then spread other events throughout the month. Along with,... Read more

At the first show, host Tim Kavanagh will welcome local Irish-born poet Greg Delanty, who just received a Guggenheim grant.
