TELEVISION - March 4, 1993

New Arts Network: J. Carter Brown, the 22-year National Gallery of Art director who was recently replaced by former L.A. County Museum of Art’s Earl A. (Rusty) Powell III, will head Ovation, a new fine arts cable network to start broadcasting in the fall of 1994. Brown said Ovation “will provide drama and other performing arts institutions and art museums with a much-needed showcase for performance, exhibitions and behind-the-scenes updates on the world of the arts. American television viewers need and want a channel dedicated to high-quality theater, music, dance and visual arts.” Harold E. Morse, founder of the Learning Channel, will handle daily operations.
