The Clay Cole Show was a rock music television show based in New York City, hosted by Clay Cole. First broadcast on WNTA-TV in September 1959 as Rate the Records, within two months the format was changed, and an hour-long Saturday-night show was added. In the summer months, the show was expanded to an hour, six nights a week, live from Palisades Amusement Park, where Chubby Checker first performed and danced "The Twist". When WNTA-TV was sold in 1963, the show moved to WPIX-TV, where for five years it was successful, thanks to first-time guest appearances of the Rolling Stones, Neil Diamond, Dionne Warwick, Simon & Garfunkel, Richie Havens, Tony Orlando, Blood, Sweat & Tears and The Rascals. In 1965, the show was renamed Clay Cole's Discotek. Clay produced a full hour with just one guest, Tony Bennett. Clay's all-star, ten-day Christmas Show at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater holds the all-time box-office record for that theater. Cole was the first to introduce stand-up comics such as Richard Pryor, George Carlin,Religion & Ethics Newsweekly

The Fitness Show is an educational television program, hosted by Colin Hoobler. The series, filmed in Portland, Oregon. is the first medically based fitness program to apply science to exercise. This is in the likeness of the series’ producers’ Emmy Award-winning program Bill Nye the Science Guy. Like Bill Nye, Hoobler hosts the program as part motivator and part science teacher. Sensors and 3-D image-capturing technology show viewers in real time what goes on underneath the skin during exercise. As a licensed physical therapist with two master’s degrees, Hoobler’s methods have been taught through the American Physical Therapy Association. Both medical doctors and physical therapists make guest appearances on The Fitness Show. Techniques demonstrated in episodes combine elements of anatomy, neuroscience, physics and sports medicine. The educational content is intended to help viewers save time, avoid invasive medical treatments and reduce chronic pain.
