Googling the dead: Xan C. and Z Channel

At Nerve, Lily Oei talks to Xan Cassavetes about her doc on IFC, Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession and the dark current under its celebration of over 50 movie greats (and not-so-greats): Were you astonished that the Z Channel story was never mentioned before? I Googled Z Channel, I Googled Jerry Harvey — there was nothing. I guess people wanted to forget. Even the last owners of Z Channel, who turned it into a sports channel. It wasn't great publicity when the guy in charge of your station kills himself and his wife. I think they were pretty happy not to keep the torch alive.
