This edition of the The R.C.ShortCast is an interview with Lisa Yokota, Marketing director at KTSF.

The KTSF story starts in 1965 when Lillian Lincoln Howell was awarded the FCC license to operate channel 26 in the San Francisco market. Her goal was to operate a station serving underserved markets. She believed that mainstream stations were not providing news and entertainment programming to non-English speakers and her intention was to have KTSF address this need. After 11 years of struggling with various obstacles, Lillian Howell was finally able to put KTSF on the air in 1976. Because there were already stations broadcasting Hispanic programming at that time, she decided to focus her efforts on the Asian market. Since then, KTSF has consistently increased its schedule of Asian programming consistent with demographic changes in the market. In 1982 the station added Filipino programming in response to increased immigration from the Philippines. By 1985 the Bay Area Vietnamese population had grown to a size where in-language programming could be added to the schedule. In the late 1990's, as the H1-B visa brought more workers to the US from Taiwan, China and India, KTSF expanded its hours of Mandarin and Hindi programming.

This is the third part of an interview with John Lilly, COO and board member of the Mozilla Corporation.

Mozilla was the original code name for the product that came to be known as Netscape Navigator, and later, Netscape Communicator. Later, it came to be the name of Netscape Communications Corporation's dinosaur-like mascot. Netscape Communications Corporation holds trademarks on the names Netscape, Navigator, and Communicator; it has not yet been decided what, if any, restrictions Netscape will place on the use of those names. Now, we use the name "Mozilla" as the principal trademark representing the Foundation and the official releases of internet client software developed through our open source project.

This edition of the R.C.Shortcast is the first part of an interview with the instant messaging legend Yair Goldfinger, who was one of the founders of Mirabilis, the Israeli company that produced ICQ, the first instant messenger. ICQ grew virally as friends would encourage their friends to join so they could communicate to each other and changed the way people ware communicating over the internet forever. Despite Mirabilis having no revenue, AOL paid over $400 million to buy it on June 8 1998. AOL ran ICQ and AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) as independent products, which helped to create an illusion of a competitive marketplace. Mirabilis is now owned by Time Warner. The name ICQ is a play on the phrase "I seek you".
