As one of the lucky folks here who actually gets to watch the program,
I echo these sentiments.  The only problem with "VideoSpin" is that
WQEX does not have facilities to broadcast in stereo, and that is a
problem with the station, and not the show proper.  VideoSpin also
has little segments between videos displaying local concert info;
this is yet another reason to watch the program when it appears in
your area.

In case you didn't see it the first time.
