BCAT Closet Classic is a tribute to the volunteers of BCAT’s past. The Classic programs from the closet are those produced several years ago, full of the familiar and not-so-familiar faces of those who have come and gone through BCAT’s ever changing door.

Beneath The Surface is a different kind of talk show, discussing the important issues of life that in our fast-paced and often shallow culture people rarely talk about. Both serious and fun, it may at times get your blood boiling and at other times make you laugh. "One thing BTS will certainly do is make you to think" describes both producer and host Paul Murano. Fear of controversy and being "politically correct" are foreign concepts to this live call-in show, and in no way get in the way of the show's primary goal: To seek the truth by going Beneath the Surface. For comments or suggestions please Email the program at BTSviewermail@aol.com

*Books and Authors an interview discussion program
with authors hosted by Diane Goshgarian.
