The MARS Multimedia Committee is pleased to announce that after a hiatus
of 11 months, Undercover TV is back on cable channel 17. Weekly episodes
will show Fridays at 10:30 pm and Saturdays at 1:30 pm, beginning March 20th.

Undercover TV exposes the way we treat animals in various industries, such as
food, entertainment, and fashion. Many of the videos that they show
can be graphic, but they also include more sensitive material like parts of The
Witness and interviews. Your carnivorous friends will not be able to look at their plates the same way again after watching.
