The "Unusual programming on PBS/educational stations" thread about made me think about this:
Does anyone remember a cable network that aired shows and newscasts from various countries? I recall an English-language program called "Jerusalem Today" as well as a newscast hosted by a man named Mike Greenspan, whose voice reminded me of Peter Coyote (which is a good thing!)
There were also two student-produced soap operas. IIRC, "University" was from Washington State U. and "General College" came out of UNC, Chapel Hill.
I don't know how long this network existed, but it was offered on Continental Cablevision on the Hampton Roads, VA Peninsula in the late 80s and early 90s. I believe it was connected to PBS in some way.
