In 1983 Al ventured into cable tv where he produced and hosted his own music show entitled "New Music Beat" with fellow WAVP DJ, Don "The Rocker" Morgan. "New Music Beat" featured live perfomances from local bands at local New Jersey niteclubs. "New Music Beat" spun off into "Video Spotlight" in 1984 and featured both the local bands as well as music videos from major celebrity musicians. That show grew rapidly from just airing on one cable system to airing on 26 cable systems and viewed in 2 million homes thru CTN, when it ended it's run in 1997.
