  • Syncopation Station with Vann Ford, Sundays, on KDHX (88.1 FM), Sunday afternoons from 4:00 until 5:30 p.m. with Vann Ford.
  • Ragtime St. Louis with Steve Hinson on cable TV. I'd like to let everybody know the latest news about my TV show, "RagtimeSt. Louis." It has increased to an hour in length, and both City and County shows start at the same time, every Monday at 8 PM. In the County, it's on Channel 18 (there might be a few exceptions), and in the City, the channel is 22. You have to get cable to see these programs. Recent shows have featured performances of local and national ragtime talents, from my video collection that goes back a dozen years. I've been airing a special World's Fair show that Trebor, Bob Ault and Rich Egan did in Columbia earlier this year. Soon, I'll have the hour long Jan Douglas special ready that I've been talking about for awhile. I hope you will enjoy the new expansion of the only ragtime TV show in the whole world!
