Information About

Classic Arts Showcase




Known as "classical music MTV", the channel features renowned artists both professional and amateur, as well as many rare and independent performances and videos. An 8-hour mix of video clips is prepared weekly and broadcast randomly three times daily. Text displayed on the screen encourages viewers to gain inspiration and "...go out and feast from the buffet of arts available in your community."

CAS was founded in 1994, is completely and totally funded by the Lloyd E. Rigler - Lawrence E. Deutsch Foundation, and does not solicit any outside funding. Lloyd Rigler died on 7 December 2003 , but left at least twenty years of funding to the channel. They offer free programming to any cable system that requests a feed.

Although the service is available on Dish Network , most of its viewership is through small local Public , Educational, and Government Access (PEG) cable channels.
