the disk itself. The disk will rest in a black plastic tray which is stackable with

similar trays; the case will be capable of storing 24 pages of liner notes or other

printed information.

“Night Flight” on the USA cable network is doing well. Regular features are “New

Wave Theatre,” a video artists series and “Take Off,” a magazine-type show that

opens every edition of “Night Flight.” “Take Off” is the only time “Night Flight” will

show video clips of artists rather than full-length programs on them. “Night Flight”

began as six hours per weekend and is now up to 12. Producers are Cynthia

Friedland and Stuart Shapiro and Jeff Franklin. The producers hope to transmit in

stereo - soon.
