The year was 1962. Noted musical arranger and publisher Fred Barovick (credits including musical production for recordings by Nat King Cole and Elvis Presley) established the Carlson International record label from his Brill Building 1619 Broadway New York office. He placed the management and A&R (artists & repertoire) auspice in the hands of Louis Ferriol, who had been employed as recording session engineer at Tommy De Vito-Bill Upham's Star Recording in Bloomfield, NJ.

By 1967, Carlson International expanded to talent management services and in 1976, from offices at 250 West 57th Street. CI
also added a video production studio in New Jersey (pictured upper right) and subsequently entered into films and television with it's first feature, "Tomorrow Is Just Another Yesterday" and an array of syndicated local origination cable TV shows including the award winning "Spotlight On Entertainment" The production company employed it's own crew and teamed with Dorothy Palmer to cast theatrical features.

Latching on to the burgeoning home video and urban cinema cult/horror movie-fantasy fads, CI inaugurated Vidimax Home Entertainment subsidiary with "The Necrotic" and "The New York Centerfold Massacre."

In retirement, sustaining injuries from being struck by a car, Ferriol had a vision of internet and television hybrid, ;pmg before YouTube and Hulu were even thought of. ln 2002, a new era began when Carlson International launched "Xoteria-TV" at Xoteria.com, which offers several archival arts & entertainment-education-information-and self-help Internet Television video streaming"channels," including the popular Oldies Television (oldiestelevision.com) , MVU Rocks, Healthline, Pizazz Beauty-TV and Psychic-TV, also continuing talent direction services online with Modelvision TV at Xoteria and moviecasting.biz You can visit Xoteria.com by clicking on the banner below or see a full listing of Xoteria-TV offerings here by clicking the "Xoteria Internet TV" button to the upper right.

The Internet Can Be A Hazard.
To Kids. Keep Your Children Safe Online.

1. Place children's computers in a common area of your home:
The living room or kitchen, not the child's bedroom.

2. Do not allow children to use computers unsupervised by an adult family member.
When no one supervises, lock the computer so it cannot be used.

3, Do not allow children to join any social website
such as Yahoo, MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

4. Install strong parental control/content control software in any computer a child uses.

5. Install and use web surfing monitor/reporting software in any computer a child uses.

Sound too harsh? Ask any parent of the one in three children who are bullied, harassed,
propositioned to upload salacious images of themselves or lured by a sexual predator.
