AIDS forum to air monthly
Bent Communications is producing a
program on local cable channels which the
producers hope will demystify the AIDS
epidemic. The programs will consist of five
10-minute segments featuring technic al-

crisis, PWAs and others with HIV infection.
The program will debut on Cable Channel
11 on January 25 from 8 to 9 pm, and will
continue on the fourth Thursday of each
month thereafter. As with most cable
programming, AIDS Forum Live, will be re
broadcast at other times during the month.
Check local television schedules or call 288-
