Abstract

ABSTRACT This article assesses the significance of the Gay Cable Network (GCN), a production company that aired a dozen shows on public access cable television made by and for LGBTQ New Yorkers. Drawing upon archival research and interviews with producers, hosts, and assistants at GCN, I argue that LGBTQ producers experience both transformational opportunities for political engagement as well as precarity, frustration, and loss through public access cable television production. I evaluate the social experience of television production to analyze what I am calling affective production value: a metric that establishes how community media production generates a range of powerful emotional experiences for its producers. I examine the daily experience of queer television production through GCN founder Lou Maletta’s tireless efforts to produce and distribute LGBTQ programming for more than twenty years as well as the continuing efforts of his contemporaries on Gay USA, an LGBTQ news program that still airs weekly. Examining cable access shows in terms of affective production value allows scholars to decenter normative standards of production quality in order to understand how local production generates meaning for its producers, offering us the opportunity to explore the personal and cultural impact of community television production.

同性恋社区电视的情感制作价值——以美国同性恋有线电视网为例
摘要本文评估了同性恋有线电视网(GCN)的重要性,该制作公司在公共接入有线电视上播放了十几个由纽约LGBTQ制作并为其服务的节目。根据档案研究和对GCN制片人、主持人和助理的采访,我认为LGBTQ制片人在公共有线电视制作中既经历了政治参与的转型机会,也经历了不稳定、沮丧和失落。我评估电视制作的社会体验,以分析我所说的情感制作价值:这是一个衡量社区媒体制作如何为制作人产生一系列强大情感体验的指标。我通过GCN创始人Lou Maletta二十多年来为制作和分发LGBTQ节目所做的不懈努力,以及他同时代人对《同性恋美国》(Gay USA)的持续努力,审视了酷儿电视制作的日常体验,这是一个每周仍在播出的LGBTQ新闻节目。从情感制作价值的角度研究有线电视节目,可以让学者们偏离制作质量的规范标准,以了解当地制作如何为制作人产生意义,为我们探索社区电视制作的个人和文化影响提供了机会。
