Midnight Blue[1][2] was a sexually themed public access cable television program that aired on Channel J[1] in New York City.[3][4]

The show debuted in 1974, as Screw publisher Al Goldstein parlayed his publishing success into a cable access show, a freeform interview program that played on the late night airwaves of Manhattan cable for more than twenty-five years.[5]

Midnight Blue was the subject of controversy when Al Goldstein testified before the United States Supreme Court in 1995 as part of a lawsuit brought against Time Warner Cable's plan to scramble sexually explicit public access programs unless subscribers gave written consent for them.[6] The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in Goldstein's favor in 2000.[7]

Al Goldstein[8] was the host and producer along with radio personality Alex Bennett.[9] Alex Bennett and Screw Editor Bruce David were its creators and original producers.
