Here at ATV, we are frequently very fortunate to conduct and broadcast interviews with notable individuals both in the political and entertainment scenes, courtesy of our partnerships with the Kennedy Political Union (KPU) and the Student Union Board (SUB). Special Broadcast is an ATV network-wide show that airs these interviews and other special ATV features that are not directly affiliated with any particular show.
Special Broadcasts Currently Airing on ATV:
ATV’s Best Of Fall 2009
Cleve Jones Interview
Interviews with Wale, Nyle and the Naysayers
We invite you to check out these interviews and our other special features here on the Special Broadcast website, and also check out our older Special Broadcast interviews on ATV Classics.
The Student Union Board featured a performance by rapper Wale in the Tavern on Saturday, December 5. This Special Broadcast features clips from the concert and a brief exclusive interview with Wale. Also featured is an exclusive in-studio interview with Nyle and the Naysayers (who were the opening act for Wale’s performance), where they also do an awesome free-style rap about American University!
The interviews on this episode are conducted by Madeleine Kuhn, co-producer and Brett Clancy, co-host of AU DeRailed.

From the KPU Website
Cleve Jones began his career as an activist in San Francisco during the turbulent 1970s, when he was befriended by pioneer gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
Cleve worked as a student intern in Milk’s office until the famed gay rights activist and leader was assassinated in 1978. After Milk’s assassination, he began working as a legislative consultant and was then elected to three terms on the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee, also serving on local and state commissions for juvenile justice and delinquency prevention and the Mission Mental Health Community Advisory Board. One of the first to recognize the threat of AIDS, Cleve co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation in 1983.
In 1985, at a candlelight memorial for Harvey Milk, Cleve conceived the idea of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Since then, the AIDS Memorial Quilt has grown to become the world’s largest community arts project, memorializing the lives of over 85,000 Americans killed by AIDS.
He has served as a member of the International Advisory Board of the Harvard AIDS Institute, the National Board of Governors of Project Inform and the Board of Directors of the Foundation for AIDS and Immune Research.
This interview with Cleve Jones is conducted by Maddie Kuhn, co-producer of AU DeRailed, made possible in association with the Kennedy Political Union.

In addition, the video commemorates two of ATV’s biggest precedent-setting events of the semester: our Halloween ScreamFest event (ATV’s first-ever such event), and the launch of our brand new website. We hope you enjoy this video reflecting everything that ATV has accomplished this semester, and we look forward to an even bigger semester when Spring 2010 rolls around.
